The Capri Hotel is a great entry to Ojai, being on the slightly more affordable side and very close to town. 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. read more

The Capri Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Ojai, California

We had a wonderful stay at Capri Hotel. The property has such a fun, relaxed 70's vibe that really fits the spirit of Ojai. Check-in was quick and easy, and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our stay. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained. One of our favorite touches was the delicious coffee available in the lobby each morning, a perfect way to start the day. The complimentary bikes were also a highlight and made it easy (and fun) to explore around town. We'd definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Ojai! read more

I love the Shelter Social Club hotels in Ojai. I usually stay at the Hummingbird but decided to stay at the Capri because of the hot tub. We went in the hot tub 2-3 times a day! We started our morning in there sipping the complementary coffee (I love the alternative milks they offer). We had a wonderful spacious room. And it was nice how the Capri is even closer to town. The only thing I don't like about this hotel are the pool chairs. They are very very uncomfortable. I wish they had the ones at the Hummingbird, which are so wonderful! It will be hard to decide which one to stay at next time. read more

Stayed at Capri hotel for 1 night and initially was attracted by the aesthetic and good reviews. You can tell that it was an old motel style place that got renovated to be more hip and have a desert, hipster, natural vibe. Check-in was pretty smooth and the lobby is cute and smells like sage. Went to the room and it was really clean and there was a nice variety of snacks (with a fee menu). Initially everything was fine except that in Ojai that night it was pretty cold so they have a heater/AC installed in every room. They also has it felt like down comforters. The way the AC was placed was near the head of the beds so I could feel the air blowing. It was very cold initially so we turned on the heater then overnight it got soooo hot and the hot air was in my face. Then we turned the heater off and still the comforter was so hot. I slept with half my body outside of the comforter. Long story short, my night was not the relaxing night I thought for my day away to recharge. Otherwise the bed was fine. I didn't mind but also the hygiene products that are provided in the hotel room all smell are herb forward. You check-out by returning the key to the front desk but we checked out so early the lobby wasn't open (they open 8 am -10 pm) and we left it in the room. Not sure what else this says either but we called the "after hours line" once and no one picked up. read more

Can't wait to come back!!! We took a quick girl's trip to Ojai and stayed at the Capri Hotel. Super cute and thoughtfully decorated. The front desk staff and lobby are warm and inviting. The front desk clerk was happy to provide wonderful recommendations for places to eat. We had a room with a patio and it was cool it opened to a large shared grass area. The room was cute and clean, the beds were comfy. We enjoyed the complimentary coffee in the morning before we headed out read more

The Capri Hotel - . - Hotels Near Me - Ojai, California

Everything about our stay was perfect! From the check in with the really sweet receptionist in the beautiful lobby, to the spotless room with a bed that was extremely comfortable, it made our little getaway feel like such a retreat. The property is super cute - beautiful pool, bikes for guests to use and a well kept grassy area for kids and dogs. The room had all the essentials that you need, and the hotel is walking distance to the markets, shops and restaurants. I would definitely recommend The Capri Hotel for a cozy getaway in Ojai, and we will 100% be back for our next trip! read more

We stayed at the Capri for a few nights and really loved the vibe--mid-century boutique with a peaceful, artsy feel. The trees and greenery around the property are beautiful, and even the music by the pool was on point. For the first three days, everything felt calm and well-curated. A few kids were in the pool having fun, but it was mellow and added to the charm. The housekeeping and maintenance staff were especially warm and friendly throughout our stay. I accidentally left a pair of shorts behind, and they were kind enough to locate them and ship them back to me. That kind of thoughtfulness goes a long way. The downside came on our last night and morning. A private party had bought out the hotel, and we weren't given any notice. I had hoped to enjoy the hot tub that evening, but it was completely taken over by the private party. Then we were woken up around 6am to babies crying and little feet running upstairs. Pool area was taken over by a dozen or so kids, and no real way to enjoy a soft landing. It was a jarring end to what had been a peaceful stay. To be clear--we're parents ourselves and often travel with our kids, so the presence of children isn't the issue. The problem was the lack of communication. A simple heads-up would've allowed us to adjust expectations or plans. We would've cut our stay a day shorter. For the price, that kind of courtesy should be standard. The first few days were amazing, but the abrupt ending was disappointing to say the least. read more

Very cool vibe, location, pool area, and designed rooms. Love the look of the hotel and the staff was kind. The two main flaws were how incredibly loud the upstairs neighbors sounded in our room. Being awoken to what sounded like elephants walking, and people moving furniture around. Not sure if it was the specific flooring but both me and my partner (one light sleeper and one heavy sleeper) both were awakened to the noise and shocked and how loud it was and couldn't sleep at all bc of it. The next day, new ppl checked in and the noise was just as bad so it's def an issue with the how the walking/flooring translates into the bottom room. Was brutal. We had a room with a patio and the screen door didn't close shut fully at the bottom so it would let in bugs/insects so we couldn't keep the room door to outside open for a fresh breeze bc the screen door didn't protect from the insects getting in the room. Quite annoying. If you're gonna be waking up early every day the noise prob not an issue for you but if you want to relax and sleep in you're rolling the dice. read more

We have been coming here from LA for many trips and I have never been more disrespected by a hotel. They accused us of damaging property when all we did was inform you of the damage in the room as soon as we arrived. The least accommodating, pretentious management and ownership. Do not waste your money here or any of their affiliated properties. read more

A comfortable weekend retreat to review, relax, and revitalize. Friendly staff, clean rooms, and plenty of privacy too. read more

I loved their motif lounge and thoughtful decor. There was ceramic handmade lamps in our room. I love that they had a big soaking tub in the room. We had fun writing the complementary bikes around town finding some really cool spots to get a salad and juice. The only thing I would've liked is if they were more flexible on checkout time. The next time we'll have to go and check out some hikes. read more

Hotel desk person was very helpful when I presented a problem I had. I will look forward to staying at Capri hotel on my next visit.

The Capri Hotel had its pros and cons. This hotel is expensive and i wouldn't call it "affordable" for the average person, especially for what you get. We stayed in a room with two queen beds with a balcony on the second floor. The balcony had patio furniture (two chairs and a table). If we wanted to be on the first floor, it was about $100 difference (per night). At the time of booking, it was a minimum of a two night stay. The first floor rooms have spacious patios. The beds were comfortable. The TV had a firestick with Prime and Netlfix ready to watch. The room does have a mini fridge. The rooms were lovely, but the hotel does feel old or vintage. The wiring in the building must be old because our lights were flickering a few times. The lobby and outdoor areas were pretty. There's a seating area with fire pits, perfect for late night chatting. There's a large lawn area, perfect for a wedding. However, you should note that if you're staying in a room with a patio and balcony at the time an event is happening, you'll probably be able to hear everything. The patios and balconies are directly next to the lawn area and pool. The second floor is not handicap friendly as there are no elevators. If you have small children and a lot of luggage with you, you may have to take two trips from the car. Ojai overall seems like it's a safe city, so I wouldn't say that safety is a big concern here. However, if safety is a big concern for you, be aware that there isn't a gate or barrier between your room and the street or parking lot. The hotel rooms are accessible to just anyone on the street. So anyone walking by can just knock on your door or window. The room is lacking a luggage rack, so we had to put all of our luggage on the floor. The shower situation is interesting. The bathroom has a stand up shower with just a glass as the barrier. The glass wall isn't very large because the bathroom isn't large. When you shower, expect water to get all over the floor outside of the actual shower. Don't forget to place a towel on the floor to use as a floor mat so you don't slip on the wet floor. The water pressure isn't the best. The bathroom does have a small window, but be careful when you leave the small window open because the other side of the window is a walkway. The lobby is beautiful! The staff are all so friendly. read more

Saw this place suggested by people on TikTok, and did a bit more research through google. The place is exactly like the pictures. The location is within a 5 min drive to downtown Ojai. But a few things to be mindful of: It's very much still small motel vibes even with these renovations. Second, there were multiple flies in our room. Pretty sure it was coming from the plant in the bathroom. Third, there's no phone. You can easily contact the hotel through your cell and speak to them that way, but this was the first hotel I've been to that didn't have a phone. Fourth, no iron or steamer in the room. You need to contact the concierge to get one. Fifth, the bathroom gave me the heeby jeebies. There's green tile all along the floor, and it just gave me unclean vibes. Also, the shower pressure wasn't the greatest. And lastly, the beds. Not the comfiest beds I've been in. The amenities are nice. You're given access to their pool, and also can rent bikes. I think this hotel is simple enough, and the staff were super friendly. It's still a nice place to come back to after exploring Ojai, but definitely some things to consider. read more

This is a cutesie renovated motel with thoughtful design choices and lots of space. The amenities are VERY minimal, so think of this place as a nice place to rest your head after a day of hiking and exploring the darling downtown. The staff is very nice. The motel does have a cute retail area with some t-shirts, skin care products, books and little effects. They do have a pool and an open space in the back for the guests to enjoy. In terms of high levels of service, there just isn't any here. This is a very bare bones hospitality experience, so if you're looking to be pampered, I'd head over to the Ojai Valley Inn who is among the very best in class in offering that type of experience which you will pay$$ for. Things to know: While this place is kid friendly, they do NOT have cribs or pack n plays which means you'll have to bring your own. Parking is limited but they do not require parking passes, so curious how this plays out during high season. Coffee and tea are located in the lobby. Everything offered in the room is a charge. There is no food establishment attached to the property so you'll have to venture off property to get a meal. But they do have snacks in the room you can pay for. read more

We absolutely love the Capri Hotel! It was our first visit to Ojai & we can't wait to go back to stay here again. I took my two young daughters and the hotel were very accommodating. Everything was so beautiful, the beds and rooms were comfy, the snacks in the room were clean and healthy versions of regular junk which I really appreciated! The lobby room had great brands to shop, & the pool and jacuzzi were heated perfectly. Will be back again! read more

We loved our stay here! The modern boho vibes fit into the Ojai spirit. The lobby is large and inviting with a big fireplace and curated goods for sale. The staff were warm and inviting. The room was cutely furnished and had everything we need for a girls vacation. We swam in the pool, which was warm and felt like an oasis. They did a great job converting this motel, and we can't wait to come back! read more

This hotel was a bit hard to review because the property was great, but our room location was rough. In a different room, this could have been 5 stars, so I'm settling on 4. We have been trying to stay here for the past year and finally lucked out on what appeared to be a room cancellation. The grounds and lobby are STUNNING. They exceeded all expectations. The fireplace was so nice and inviting, coffee was delicious, the pool was perfectly heated, the hot tub was a dream, and the lawn out back was great for laying out. We checked out the bikes and rode those around one day which was also super fun. Location is close enough to the main strip without being directly in the touristy crowds. The room was disappointing. We were in room 1 which was on the ground floor next to the lobby. We didn't have a doormat like the other rooms and everyone seemed to think it was just an extension of the lobby. Guests gathered outside our door at all hours of the day and night, it was like constantly having 5 extra people in your room for sound disturbance. We were also under a family so heard the kids running around all weekend. The hot water only worked once, otherwise it was room temperature or cold the whole weekend. There also weren't enough towels for the room and pool (they don't have towels by the pool) so ours were always kinda icky and damp. We had a small window that faced the parking lot and had no natural light - it was dark even during the daytime so we couldn't take any photos in the room as planned. The other rooms had balconies and hopefully some more light. We would return, but under no circumstances would we stay on the ground floor again! read more

Was expecting more from the photos and description. The attempt was to renovate a 1960s motel into a cool , zen , holistic and comfortable environment while keeping the allure of its original luster. I will start with a positive , the beds were very comfortable, but it's time for a spruce up of the rooms . Staff were friendly. The quality of the rooms and amenities don't align with the price . No special touches in the rooms , towels felt like sandpaper definitely not quality . Nice selection of snacks and beverages , but pricing outrageous. This isn't the Ritz . The worse was the lack of sound proofing . We were on first floor and the upstairs guests walking felt like they were in our room . Unfortunately they were "walking " until 2:00 am . Lastly their wi fi awful . They need to upgrade . Kept kicking us off streaming services on the tv. Really wanted to like this place read more

Out of town friends always stay here and they are kind with locals visiting. Good vibes

Yes to all the decor, friendly staff, just-right-amount of amenities, easy parking, and location. The sleep was comfortable and quiet. But the room smelled a bit dank (wet) going in and out. Bathroom window didn't have a screen so that's also probably how a mosquito got in and got a few nips of me during sleep. Overall, an early March stay meant that temperatures were manageable (not too cold, not too hot). Since there was no seating in the room, it was nice to chill by the fireplace in the lobby. Perfect for design oriented millennial types. Ps if you're looking for a great massage place that's not luxury positioned (no frills?) but clean-seeming and spacious--the Bamboo Massage Spa is just 1-2 blocks from the Capri. Staff often go there too because it's so close. read more

Uhm... what? The pictures online definitely made this place looked a lot better than in person. This place is a fusion of bohemian and motel. The hotel was obviously a renovated motel with a common theme of bohemian all around but there still were elements of the old motel throughout. For example, the tiles in the bathroom... straight up was not a fan. Sure I can see the charm (?) but the aesthetic was not in line with the price point. The color and the little tiles looked very outdated. My feet were not happy with the texture. It creeped me out and was giving horror movie spooky vibes. The beds were very uncomfortable and hard. It was difficult trying to get a decent night sleep. Also, unless you are deaf, you will hear EVERYTHING. Next door, upstairs, pool, you hear it all. ZERO amenities. If you're thirsty, that's a you problem unless you have $6 to spend to drink the water they provide in the room. Overall, we came very excited but left disappointed. The experience does not justify $350 a night price point. Otherwise, the front desk attendant was very nice and the check in and checkout process was seamless. read more

Cute and affordable mid-century modern hotel lacking the standard amenities in the rooms (ie. Microwave, telephone, iron, ironing board, do not disturb sign). Although they are still under construction for renovations, the hotel itself is decorated very cute and simple. The lobby is very welcoming and the ambiance when you walk in is charming. The best things about this place is the price, the staff, the lobby and the LARGE beautiful garden area where you can just hang out with your family and enjoy the scenery. Oh and it's dog friendly! This is a great place to bring your dog and if you are lucky enough to get a room on the first floor, they have a spacious patio which is perfect for pets. They have delicious coffee available in the lobby, but for early risers, they do not open until 8am. Luckily, Jose opened up a 15 minutes before on both mornings of our stay. They even had a big bowl of pixies! They are so yummy. Thank you to the staff who were all very nice and helpful: Marley, Sadie and Jose. Although I would love to give this place 4 stars, but there were more than a handful of things lacking. With that said and if my opinion matters, I have some suggestions, I wish they had more amenities in the room - iron, phone, coffee machine, elevator. Also, the walls are super thin and while traveling with kids, we felt like we had to try to keep the noise level down. Another thing that irritated me was that the socket in the bathroom didn't work (room 204). So if you have to blow dry, straight iron or curl your hair, you have to do it by the tv without a mirror. I told the front desk about it, so hopefully it gets fixed asap. read more

Having stayed at some of the other properties under this brand, I was really looking forward to my stay here with one of my friends. Overall, we were disappointed and I'm not sure I would stay there again. There are several things that the rooms do not include that are a miss. I stayed in a room that did not have any USB chargers (only standard plug). Not a big deal, but, I've never stayed in a hotel that didn't have this. The lighting in the room was horrible, especially in the bathroom. Good luck doing your make up! The shower was a complete disaster with there not being a wall and only a curtain and ended up causing a lake in our bathroom. Looking at the other reviews, it doesn't look like we were the only ones that dealt with this. The bed was comfortable and the room was spacious enough. Our screen on the window was busted out and just resting on the ground, so we couldn't open the window without worrying about the exposure. The grounds were nice, and what I was expecting from my experience at the sister properties. The coffee that is provided (not until eight in the morning, though) was yummy, and I was pleased to see that they had three different types of milk, including two that were non-dairy. The real disappointment was the one staff member who was at the front desk all weekend. She was...unpleasant. She's was giving, "you're bothering me, I'm important and you're not". Both my friend and I dealt with her in separate occasions, and had the exact same experience. There wasn't any genuine welcome, mention of the amenities, etc. We experienced a "here's your keys, here's the map" check in. We were considering sticking around another day, but the attitude of the staff member kept us from asking if a room is available for one more additional night. Every question we had was met with an irritated, curt response. Even during checkout, my friend said she wanted to check out, and the reception gal waved her hand where to put the key and walked away. Like...okay? For that reason, I would not recommend this place to anybody reading this review, or any of my friends. Spend your money elsewhere where the customer, who is paying a not small amount of money, is treated like they did just that - spent money for your product and experience. read more

So, after much consideration and after having basically lost my mind by not leaving the house for five months, we decided to take a one night getaway to Ojai and stayed at The Capri. They've totally redone the rooms here over the past year and they're super trendy and comfy. I actually had a night booked here back in March, but everything obviously changed when COVID hit and we had to cancel that trip. Prices have gone up a bit since the spring, and I'm not sure if it's due to the new COVID protocols or the summer season or the hotel updates (or a combo of all three). It's also worth noting that check in is an hour later than usual (4 pm) to add more time for cleaning. 100% understandable, but this didn't leave much pool time for our one night stay so worth considering if that's your goal. The TL;DR version of this review: I think this hotel is a little overpriced (especially on the weekend) and I'd opt for their sister property, Ojai Rancho Inn, next time I'm in town. I'll break down the things we liked and didn't like below, but I just didn't think this hotel offered over $320 worth of value for a one night's stay in a king room. That being said, it was totally dreamy getting out of town and laying by the pool for a short bit, so no regrets from me! Things we loved: + We received a text earlier in the day before check in with all the info about the property and then another when the room was ready. They have a lock box to grab your key, but a really friendly staff member was actually there when we arrived and gave us our key. We could also text them back if we needed anything--I liked that there was a socially distant option for communicating with staff. + The room had mostly everything we needed (mini fridge, pool towels, nice shampoo/conditioner/body wash) and the bed was big and comfy. The lobby and sign out front are both iconic! + The pool was lovely and there are bikes onsite that I believe are free for guests. There's also a huge outdoor space behind the pool that could be cool for a wedding (there were some families with kiddos who used it to run around while we were there). Things they could improve: + The coffee situation. I'm someone who needs (not wants, NEEDS) coffee in the morning, so this was wild to me! There was no coffee anywhere onsite, and when I asked the gal behind the desk in the lobby where the closest place was to get some, she sort of had to think about it before suggesting a coffee shop in town or the grocery store. Is this not a thing for people? I get if they don't have self serve coffee in the times of COVID, but something the staff could regulate (maybe a Keurig behind the front desk?) would make a big difference. Coffee is hospitality! + Ojai Rancho Inn down the street gives you a little guide to things to do in Ojai when you check in. As COVID has affected almost all businesses and the way we're able to experience them, I think some tips on the local business scene (either via text, link, or paper in the room) would go a long way right now. + The AC. They use a wall mounted unit that blows directly onto the bed (rather than central air). Even with a lower fan and higher temp setting, the air was freezing and blowing directly onto us while trying to sleep. I ended up just shutting it off which made the room kind of hot (we were staying in August, after all), but better than the alternative. + This might be a little ridiculous on my part, but the printed paper room numbers that were taped to the door really took away from the ambiance. I know they're still doing construction and perhaps they're waiting for special letters to come in, but even some cool vinyl lettering would make a big difference in the meantime and justify the price point. + One of the construction guys walked right past us without a mask when we arrived. Out of respect for the guests paying a decent amount to stay here, I'd hope to see everyone working onsite (hotel staff or otherwise) wearing a mask. read more

This hotel was suggested by my sister-in-law as a place to stay for her daughter's wedding weekend. First, the positives: the staff in the office were very friendly. The room itself was nice and the bed was very comfortable. We loved the soft pillows! Even though it is on a highway, our room did not have any issues with noise from the road (though our room was near the back of the property). There were some things that we did not like. There was no information about the area on the room (no magazines or anything at all). In fact, there weren't even any drawers where such information would be found. There was no bar to hang towels on to dry. We wound up leaving them on one of the counter tops, but this seemed odd to us. The water pressure in the shower was pretty poor (and since it had quite a nice shower head, that was a bummer). The glasses provided were almost comically small (maybe 4oz or so at most). My wife was distressed that there was no full height mirrors in the bathroom (or anywhere else). We wound up using my phone's camera to allow her to see her full height. The TV did not work, and there was no information to explain it at all. In the end, we just did without for the weekend. If we were just looking for a comfortable place to sleep, this hotel would get a very good rating. As it was, it was disappointing for the price paid. read more

The Capri Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Ojai, California

The Capri doesn't advertise itself to be something it's not. So first, the logistical stuff: The Capri is located on the outskirts of town. It'll take you about 15 minutes walk to reach mid-Downtown. The Capri is on the small side and doesn't look like much from the outside. Our room was big enough, very sparse, lacked seating, but provided the basics including a somewhat decent bed and a fridge. Our first floor room had a huge enclosed patio (great if you're bringing your dog), two chairs but no table. So, it definitely has potential. The things that weren't so great: glassware in the room were basically the size of larger shot glasses, noise from room above (the also have laminate floors), no "extras" in the room, such as shower caps, etc. For the price ($200+ on weekends), I feel that the Capri should and could offer a lot more. The front desk people leave around 1030pm. Portions of the parking lot need to be repaved or filled in. The exterior should be updated to look a little more inviting. For the location/lack of amenities/price, I probably wouldn't stay here again, but once again... The Capri doesn't really tout itself to be anything more than what it is. read more

Love this place, VERY clean, full of charm, resort like atmosphere, did I mention VERY clean! Definitely the only place we stay when we visit Ojai read more

Beautiful, serene, peaceful minimalist oasis. This motel has been transformed into a modern 70s vibe yet warm and hip place. Staff is super friendly and helpful and stay on the property until 10pm. The pool and lounge chairs are surrounded by lush tropical plants that show off the Ojai topa topa mountains and beautiful sky. There is a wide open grassy lawn to lounge as well. They have drinks and high end snack you can purchase. Let's talk bout how relaxing the rooms are. Non cluttered, soothing colors, thoughtful design. It definitely has a hip and refined 70s vibe that works for me. The shampoo and conditioner is high quality locally made with a beautiful scent. I even bought some. The sheets could use an updating they are low quality and not very cozy and feel off brand for the hotel. They only provide one wash cloth which I am not sure if that was an accident. The walls are thin but to be expected in an motel originally built some time ago. They are still renovating so you will see some tools and pain cans scattered about and the numbers signs on the door having been placed yet so it's paper and tape. Overall I would come back here again especially for a ladies trip, probably not the best for a romantic getaway--especially with the thin walls ;) I am excited to see it when it is fully complete and hope they update the sheets! read more

The Capri hotel is a mid-century modern dream. The subtle but beautiful details made the stay all the more memorable. The property has a total of 30 rooms and thus never felt crowded. I loved sunset time and seeing families out by the pool, others lounging at the various seating areas or the open courtyard. Customer service was fantastic and any text I sent to the front desk was immediately answered. The Capri is walking distance to downtown. I kept thinking that this would be such an awesome space to get married at. Dog friendly. read more

Attended a wedding in Ojai and booked a two night stay. Even from the street the property looked tired and worn. Upon entering the lobby for check in we did appreciate the décor, although not the greeting we received from the front desk receptionist. Instead of the usual welcome niceties we were immediately questioned as to whether or not we were with the wedding party, not to offer us a special rate or amenities (even though over half of the property was being filled by our wedding group), but to warn us that no loud noises or outside guests were allowed. She continued to rant about the fact that we were not the only guests in the hotel and that no partying or "excessive" behavior would be tolerated. So far the only words my wife had said were "Hello. We we would like to check in"! The room was average and looked to have been upgraded at some point although not recently. Beds and bedding were comfortable and the towels were nice. We paid extra for a patio which could have been a nice space to enjoy a some local wine or beer in the evenings, however, we were concerned that we would upset the front office with any noise above a whisper so we decided to stay out of there. The patio space could also use some outdoor furniture that is not rusty, unbalanced and four inches off the ground (chairs). The pool is retro and functional which is ok. When some of the guests got a little verbose in the pool area they were immediately reprimanded for their excessive behavior (still not sure what that is). We decided to stay away from that too. I've noticed some reviews mentioned a "friendly staff". The only friendly staff were the housekeepers who were always cordial, smiling and helpful. Most of the office staff we interacted with acted as if they wished they were someplace else, avoiding eye contact and hoped that you were walking through and not going to bother them. Finally, considering the fact that the rates that they charge are not inexpensive and that large groups are the bread and butter of most motel/hotels, the office staff needs an attitude adjustment when dealing with these groups. We also received an additional charge later in the day, after check out, with no explanation. When visiting the area be sure to check out some of the other properties as you can do better than the Capri. read more

Okay, all of you people need to leave the manager Chris alone. Though he was SUPER pleasant and kind to us when we were there, I get it. He may have snapped at you once (that's if you're TRULY telling both sides of the story), or was curt, or whatever may have happened, but guys...look at the bigger picture here: You get a hella nice place to stay for a very reasonable price. Chris doesn't have to be your best friend. They remodeled an old motel and made this place look hip. 70's chic. Retro groovy. Nice colors. Clean lines. Very minimal when it comes to decorations, but everything chosen makes a statement. I like it this way. LA life is so screwed up and cluttered until staying at a place like this frees your mind a little. Firm beds, but still a bit soft and comfortable. And it's located at the end of the main strip that cuts through town, so you're only a half mile away from all the action. If you want a honeymoon place with jacuzzi tubs and shit, go somewhere else. But if you want a fun, relaxing, hip, cool place to stay while you make your way around Ojai, this is the place. (And thanks for being cool, Chris. We enjoyed!) read more

Capri Hotel was not perfect but we had a very wonderful experience here. It is a vintage-looking hotel with a blend of 1960's art in every room. Chris was awesome in the first place. He wasn't extra friendly or anything but he was accommodating. He had an adorable cat,too! The hotel was close to everything and has a very nice and huge pool with new,clean and cozy cabanas. The hotel housekeepers were friendly. Our room was clean. We had a nice vintage phonograph and records in the room,cool patio,eco-friendly toiletries and free continental breakfast. It's kid and pet-friendly! read more
