Someone found this and we were all about it. First off, it's a boat y'all. A fun getaway and on a boat, win win. I've stayed on cruises ships before but this was a first for our own. It's docked in Ventura harbor but not accessible to the open water. Upon checking in, which we had contact with the the hostess, wonderful lady in charge. We asked about an early check in but wasn't for sure if that could work out. Either way, we spent the morning on Main Street for brunch and then received a text offering us a check in a little early. Which was nice. Directions was given via text explaining where to park. She even guided us to the lot that would best be suited and nearby where there boat would be. Parking pass was given as well. Once there, she greeted us and walked us to the boat. It's docked right in the heart of the Ventura harbor where restaurants, shops are accessible right outside our door. Before getting on, of course mask was worn. She asked that only one of us would accompany her on so she can show them around the boat. She guided them through the ins and out of the boat. What to do and not to do and so on. Once we were on, the whole experience was pretty exciting. Upon entering the boat from the side and back. There's a seating area with a picnic table with umbrella. Also two chairs, where the driver of the boat and passenger would sit. Once in, you go down a couple of steps and your right in the living room/dining room. Living area has a built in sofa that could probably sleep a person. There's also a dining table with chairs and flat screen accompanied with dvd. There's also a kitchen a couple of steps down. Full fridge, sink, microwave, stove, utensils, toaster, coffee maker, kettle and so on. There's a powder room across from the kitchen. One side of the boat sleeps 2. Not full bed but bunk style minus the bunk bed. That's at the front of the boat. To the rear is where the main room is. From there, it sleeps 3. The main bed, a full size and an additional twin size to the opposite. It's also where the main restroom with shower is located. As it's right in the harbor, right outside is quite busy. There's a boat and kayak rental that's in-front of the boat. It didn't bother us. It was nice sitting on the deck and people watching. The kayakers going by and just enjoying the marina. The deck was perfect for drinks during sunset and breakfast in the morning. Overall experience was amazing. We had such a great time on the boat. Location was perfect. Plenty of restaurants to enjoy if your not interested in cooking in. Also, there's plenty of public restrooms in the village if needed. As well as the main club where boaters can utilize for showers and sort if not on your boat. Location is amazing. There's a beach literally walking distance across the parking lot. Totally will be a returning customer.

It had everything we needed including shower caps and makeup wipes which I thought was a nice touch. There was also complimentary coffee and delicious homemade cookies! There was also complimentary breakfast that was delivered to our room. The only downside that I found was our room was underneath the staircase and could get noisy when trying to sleep in. However I just turned on the TV and was able to sleep through it. Overall I would 1000% come again to The Eagle Inn and stay here whenever I am in Santa Barbara :)

They have done some updating. The fan they now provide is a new small but very efficient Woozoo fan, not the one they show in the older review pictures. The fireplace was nice and the bathroom was modern and updated. There is a desk & chair along with two charging outlets on the desk and dresser area. They have an ice machine that was always full alongside a vending machine. The only suggestion I would make is to provide a plastic bag for the ice bucket, for sanitary reasons. Luckily, I had one with me. The balcony was very nice with two comfortable chairs and a nice size table. The views were spectacular of the beach. It was very foggy during my stay so no sunset but that happens sometimes. There are several restaurants within a very short walk from the hotel and beach access is easy. It was quiet at night and the sliding door to the balcony had a security bar so you could leave it open a few inches or all the way if you wanted to. The sounds of the waves crashing on the shore made for such a peaceful and restful sleep. They have a good size refrigerator in the room that kept everything really cold and a coffee maker with the regular & decaf pods along with powdered creamer & sugar. The complimentary breakfast consists of cereal, muffins & pastries along with coffee. I thought it was a nice touch. I will definitely recommend this hotel to family & friends and my brother & SIL are already planning to stay here soon. I can't wait to come back, this is my new go to when not camping here in Ventura!

The staff we interacted with throughout our weekend stay was wonderful (from checking in at the front desk to housekeeping, to the employees at the gym/spa + the Artist Cottage, the pool, etc.). Unfortunately, the room wasn't ready at 4pm check-in time and was probably ready closer to 5pm. Not the end of the world, but not ideal when you're spending over $1000 a night for your room. The pool here is great, with a first come/first serve for poolside chairs (and a waitlist that moved pretty quickly). The room was very clean and the housekeeping attendants were fantastic; great at getting in and out when we weren't around. Love the complimentary workout classes (we tried the yoga class) and above all, we enjoyed our experience at The Artist Cottage. The staff there was very friendly and helpful and loved the little goodies we were able to leave with. Also appreciate the shuttle that can take you around the resort because the property is a decent size so walking around is nice but can get tiring if you're trying to get from Point A to Point B.

For many years, Ojai Valley Inn was one of my favorite destinations. I have stayed at the resort…read moreseven or eight times and always considered it a special place to celebrate important occasions. Unfortunately, after my recent experience, I do not plan to return. For Father's Day weekend, I booked what I hoped would be a memorable getaway for my husband and me. I prepaid $5,364.45 for a two-night stay in a Deluxe King with a View Room. In addition, I made dinner reservations at the resort's fine dining restaurant, scheduled a golf outing for two because my husband loves golf, and booked a couples massage. I was genuinely looking forward to a special and relaxing weekend. On June 5, I searched for Ojai Valley Inn on Google and called the phone number that appeared online. Unbeknownst to me, I was connected to a third-party reservation company called Hotel Reservations rather than the resort directly. I received a confirmation email that included Ojai Valley Inn's name, a confirmation number, an itinerary number, and proof of payment. After driving nearly three hours from Newport Beach to the resort, I was shocked to learn that Ojai Valley Inn could not locate my reservation. I presented all of my documentation and confirmation details, yet after nearly an hour of waiting, the issue remained unresolved. I contacted Hotel Reservations while standing at the front desk, and they confirmed that a reservation existed in their system. Unfortunately, the third-party company and the hotel were unable to reconcile the discrepancy. What disappointed me most was not the reservation issue itself, but the hotel's response. The front desk associate assisting us was kind, empathetic, mentioned they will have a room available for us, and appeared genuinely committed to finding a solution. However, when the front desk manager, Morgan Giuseponi, became involved, I felt that very little effort was made to accommodate us despite our circumstances. Given our longstanding history with the resort, our prepaid reservation, and the fact that we already had dining, golf, and spa reservations on property, I expected some attempt to help us remain at the resort. Instead, we were informed that the hotel was fully booked and were advised to seek accommodations elsewhere. Whether the issue originated with the third-party booking company or elsewhere, I had hoped Ojai Valley Inn would demonstrate the level of hospitality and problem-solving that luxury resorts are known for. Rather than allowing the situation to ruin Father's Day weekend, we chose to stay at Rosewood Miramar Beach instead. Fortunately, the experience there was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm, attentive, and proactive. The contrast in customer care was impossible to ignore. Luxury hospitality is not measured by how a property performs when everything goes according to plan. It is measured by how it responds when something goes wrong. In this case, I left feeling that Ojai Valley Inn was unwilling to help a loyal, repeat guest during a difficult situation. This experience was deeply disappointing and has permanently changed my perception of a resort I once loved. While the reservation issue may not have been entirely the hotel's fault, the lack of effort to find a solution certainly was. For that reason, I will not be returning.

It is literally a nature oasis, a respite from the busy and loud Bay Area. The views are stunning, so much outside space to enjoy, and tables for eating in the patio. We are in the cozy room, which has a shared restroom. Literally no issues with this whatsoever. It's in between two rooms so it's not like you have access to anyone else's room. There are microwaves and mini fridges for each room. They even have a dining room and library. Breakfast is served daily, and it has robust options. The scrambled eggs really take this to another level. Another highlight is the nature. Bunnies, owls, lizards, toads, and tons of gorgeous birds. This place is a treasure.

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.

From the second we pulled up, the service was non-existent. The valet staff didn't bother to greet us or offer to help with our luggage; apparently, their personal conversation was far more important than paying customers. When we tried to check in around 2:00 PM, the front desk informed us that the available rooms were right next to the noisy freeway. However, they promised that if we were willing to wait two hours, they could place us in a room with an ocean view. We patiently waited the entire two hours. When we finally checked in and went up to our assigned room, where was it? Right next to the freeway and right next to the train tracks. The massive, constant noise from the freeway traffic and passing trains made the room unbearable. They flat-out lied to us after making us waste two hours of our trip just to stick us in a room with intolerable noise from both sides. Frustrated, we called down to the front desk to get this corrected. Instead of fixing their mistake, they brushed us off and claimed a manager would contact us. By 4:30 PM--with a 5:00 PM dinner reservation fast approaching and still no word from management--I called back for an update. The front desk agent answered with pure attitude, treating me like I was the inconvenience. She rudely snapped that they were "busy" and that the manager would get to us whenever they felt like it. The unbearable noise, utter lack of communication, complete disrespect from the staff, and dishonest room promises ruined our stay. Management clearly does not care about guest satisfaction, and the front desk staff acts like customer service is a burden. Do yourself a favor and book anywhere else in Ventura.

We were greeted by the most lovely young man who welcomed us like we were family. It wasn't quite check-in time, so they stored our bags so we could grab lunch and explore State Street before checking in. When we returned, a different person welcomed us with the same energy and enthusiasm as the last. Our deluxe queen studio was weekend perfection. Clean, beautifully decorated, and included a fully equipped kitchen and dinette set. The bathroom was small, but with so much space in the rest of the room, we easily made it work. A pleasant surprise was the availability of FREE beach cruisers, beach chairs, sun umbrellas, and boogie boards that were available throughout the day. It made it so easy to take a morning ride along the beach without the hassle of rushing back to beat the rental clock. The whole Harbor House Inn experience just felt right. I'm looking forward to staying there again.
