This is a wonderfully maintained bed and breakfast in an elegant part of South Pasadena. The rooms are steeped in history, and the bedding and towels are lush and plush. Breakfasts are an extraordinary treat, prepared by Ron, a marvelous chef. The piece de resistance is the homemade cake or pie awaiting your tasting each evening in the living room.... More

Our situation was trying to get a far flung family together for our daughter's graduation. The Bissell House fit the bill gracefully. The spaces allowed for cozy reading in nooks, casual dining outdoors, and late night conversations in the living room. There was always tea and other beverages and a homebaked item for snacking in the afternoon into evening. The... More

Lovely old home, great breakfasts, nice... More

Bissell House is a lovely point of departure for exploration of the Los Angeles/west San Gabriel Valley. Within walking distance of village-like South Pasadena's downtown, the location is hard to beat. The restaurants on Mission Street and nearby neighborhoods have some great food; try Firefly, Gus's, and a sundae at the Pharmacy (share the sundae or skip dinner). The exterior... More

We stayed two nights at the Bissell House for the BCS game. The Inn is about 2.5 miles away from the Rose Bowl so we were able to walk and avoid all the traffic issues. The location was ideal because it was quiet and without the hustle and bustle of a hotel. From a B&B prospective, we enjoyed the tea... More
