I was disappointed when I was told breakfast was included and when I ordered two eggs one day out of 7 , I was charged $19 for two eggs and told I had a room that breakfast was not included even though I was told it was included originally. A B&B means Bed AND Breakfast, The Stay was over $1300 for 7 nights that should include a breakfast. Other than that I enjoyed staying there and socializing with other guests and enjoyed the patio.

Quaint and Delightful

This place was a found gem. It's family-run and has everything I needed. Located in South Pasadena and close to the 110 Freeway, it's easy to access Downtown LA, Pasadena, or to pick up the 10 Freeway and head toward the beach/SantaMonica.

This is a darling bed and breakfast run by a family in South Pasadena. I love how home-y the place feels. My room was very clean, and I was pleased to find out that the TV came with Amazon Prime! I arrived just in time for the happy hour, which entails a complementary glass of wine. I would love to come back and do my own writer's residency here.
