The Retreat to Romantic Pasadena was just that - a welcome retreat. The guest suite is lovely and there is everything that you could possibly need there. The suite is located in a lovely part of Altadena and my dog and I were able to get a nice workout walking up the street every morning.

Ellen and her husband, Ken are the perfect hosts. They are extremely helpful and communicative, but they respect your privacy.

The suite books up fast, so take that into consideration. Ellen and Ken also have a lovely vintage trailer in the back that I may also take advantage of.

Overall, an excellent experience!
