I walked in and was greeted by warm staff and although the furniture is older everything is very nice. The staff was very helpful and professional. My room was wonderful, it was clean and just perfect, with a nice patio overlooking the park, although there's some homelessness there, that's not the hotels doing. There's a jacuzzi that's nice and hot which we also enjoyed to unwind a little. We enjoyed our room so much (it had a fireplace) that we wanted to stay another night but it unfortunately was not available and we opted for another room which was very roomy with lots of windows. Again, I was grateful to the staff who was very helpful and professional in getting up situated and comfortable in our new room. We have enjoyed our stay immensely. The hotel is in a great location in Ventura, just off Main Street and just far enough off the freeway and close enough to the beach to walk too. I would definitely return and highly recommend!

This place was HORRIBLE! 0/10 would NEVER recommend. My family booked the suite (SUITE 250) it's…read moreone of two suites they have available. The air conditioner DID NOT WORK in the room with the king bed. We complained. The maintenance guy came to clean the filter. No, that wasn't the issue. It absolutely needs to be replaced, but management is too cheap. The air conditioner is an old, beat up, piece of trash. When we complained, the lady at the front desk (who was very sweet) said she had let maintenance know it needed to be fixed. She said she had been telling them for WEEKS because she had prior complaints. It's been a record heatwave in Ventura, and you're telling me you can't replace that unit?! Another con: the middle sink STINKS! Like disgusting mold, rotten food, just deathly. We told the front desk about it too. Nothing was done. Just a disgusting place to stay. Maybe the other rooms were good, but SUITE 250...don't waste your money! Go stay at a nicer hotel with a nicer suite if you're going to pay over $1000 for your stay. If YOU PLAN ON STAYING IN THAT SUITE, MAKE TRIPLE SURE THEY REPLACED THAT AC UNIT AND FIXED THE ISSUE WITH THE MIDDLE SINK THAT MAKES IT SMELL LIKE DEATH. DEAR MANAGEMENT: don't give me that generic "we care about customer satisfaction" nonsense. FIX THAT AC UNIT IN SUITE 250 where the king bed is, or you'll have complaints and reoccurring bad reviews. Don't be lazy and cheap. Also fix that middle sink. No one wants to stay in a room that smells like death. Only good thing was the location. Was nice being close to downtown. But next time, will stay at a neighboring hotel.

I will say that some rooms tend to be a bit darker since one side of the building has very small windows, and I'm not a fan of the corner rooms that face a wall. The plumbing is older and can be a little finicky, and the AC/heater units are definitely on the louder, older side. That said, the overall value for the price is still great compared to other places in Ojai. The pool and spa are super nice and relaxing, and I love that they offer bikes for rent--Ojai is such a perfect place to bike around. I'd recommend it and will definitely come again.

So my husband and I stayed here for 2 days to check out the third day. We were going for a relaxing…read moreshort trip from a busy 2 months. To begin this place is very charming my husband arrived first then I came shortly after. The first evening I noticed I woke up with itching but didn't think much of it. After the next morning we woke up to major yard work cutting of the palm trees and a whole lot of noise without notice just a knock on the door that if our car was parked near by we need to move it. The final day I woke up to being bit by a bed bug I jumped out of bed and noticed I had one crawling on my night gown and panicked I went thru all of our luggage and woke him up to get up and on the bed we seen another 2 crawling on the bed. I was dumbfounded trying to figure out what it was since the office doesn't open until I don't know because I had to leave for work at 7am and Noone was there so I let my husband take care of the situation. By this time we still didn't know what those were. Once my husband decided to check out he said he went to the office and spoke to an office manager/owner and he showed her the bugs and her response was she had no idea what they were with surprise on her face so my husband being as kind as he is believed it. Now we come here and see this is not the first time this cause for concern of bed bugs is brought to their attention and it's clear there isn't anything being done about it. It hardens my heart to leave a review in this manner as we really loved this place but to find out this is an issue never addressed is cause for concern their return policy didn't take care of all the belongings we had to throw away because we are not sure we didn't bring any home with us. !!!PLEASE TAKE CARE OF THIS YOU HAVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PLACE THERE IT WOULD BE A SHAME IT'S NEGLIGENCE WILL CAUSE FOR IT TO CLOSE DOWN. WE REALLY WANTED TO GO BACK BUT TO SAY THEY WERE TICKS JUST LET'S US KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS INFORMATION AND ARE CHOOSING TO CONTINUE TO PUT YOUR GUEST AT RISK.

We loved having a cozy fireplace, full kitchen, living room, and private porch. One helpful tip for future guests: if you'd like to enjoy the porch in the evening, the porch lights can be turned off. We didn't discover the switch until our second night--the switch is by the second door, not the main entrance. The location was great, with an easy drive into town while still feeling quiet and relaxing. The only minor downside was being awakened before 8:00 a.m. Saturday by workers on the attached building's roof. It wasn't loud construction, but we could hear footsteps, ladders, and people working overhead. We had booked a weekend stay because the listing indicated there would be no weekend construction. When we mentioned it to the front desk, we were told the workers were on the roof of the neighboring building and that they had hoped guests would already be awake by then. Aside from that, we really enjoyed our stay. The accommodations were comfortable, the suite had lots of character, and we'd happily stay here again.

On both our visits, we spent time lounging by the pool and soaking in the hot tub. Idyllic! The Inn is close enough to downtown Ojai that we could walk to dinner and wine tasting (and not have to worry about driving or calling an Uber). The staff here are also friendly and attentive.

It is very clean and the renovations were clearly very intentional with design in mind. It is an incredibly cohesive property. The rooms themselves are comfortable and I loved that the temperature was very adjustable. The bathroom was a bit bizarre. I will never understand the appeal to the shower design. It's the kind of shower that is only separated from the rest of the bathroom by half of a glass wall. Which just means, no matter how careful you are, the entire bathroom will be soaked. In terms of property amenities, the ample free parking was a huge plus. And the complementary bikes seemed great, thought we didn't get a chance to take advantage of them. There is a nice large field in the back which would be a great place to stargaze at night. We did check out the hot tub on the last morning, and I was very disappointed that it was hardly warm. The rooms come with a unique selection of snacks for purchase, but I was shocked to see they were charging $4 for the packet of instant coffee next to the kettle. I'm glad I noticed they were charging for that, because I would've assumed it was free. No chance that's worth it. There was decent coffee available in the lobby for free. When looking at a map, it showed it was only a 10-15 minute walk into the main stretch of town, so we planned to walk daily. Unfortunately, there is just enough distance on the road between the hotel and the downtown where there is no sidewalk, to a point where we felt it would be unsafe to walk at night. So we had to drive 2 minutes down the road instead. If they were able to create a path with a street lamp or two, that would make a huge difference! The staff was incredibly nice and I was glad they were able to help out with anything we needed! I did find it a bit odd that the hotel is only staffed 8AM-10PM. It's not small enough to justify such limited staff hours in my opinion, and I had never encountered that before.
