"We have enjoyed staying at the Bissell House Bed and Breakfast in Pasadena many times over the past 7 years. It is like a little retreat away from
City life, yet right in the heart of Pasadena. A lovely century old mansion on millionaire row in Pasadena, you enjoy the comforts of a family owned B&B for the same price or less than most hotels in the same area.
Each room in the Bissell House is beautifully decorated to effect the period at the turn of the last century. I believe they have recently placed new mattresses in each room, and this is the best mattress I have EVER slept on in my life. Each room Has it's own private bathroom with shower and/or bathtub.
The large estate grounds are Surrounded by large mature shade trees. We enjoy sitting on the large front porch and reading or talking or just relaxing and listening to the birds. You can walk to many attractions in Pasadena.
Chef Ron provides a lovely vegetarian breakfast, and there are other choices including cereal If you want to eat earlier or later. We have enjoyed lovely breakfast conversations with the owners, chef Ron, and the many interesting guests we have met over the years, including a whole family of Disney animators. The inn keepers will show you the chair where Albert Einstien sat when he was a guest of the Bissell family.
We can't thank the owners enough for providing this peaceful sanctuary where we have enjoyed so many pleasant visits to Pasadena. I want everyone to go there because it is such a pleasant experience and also because I want the Bissell House to get lots of business so they will stay IN business. If you decide to stay at Bissell House, you will surely have one of the most memorable trips of your life. "
