Ojai Rancho Inn

My girlfriend stayed here 3 years ago when my dog was a puppy and took some cute photos of all the dogs hanging by the pool with fellow travelers. It was a magical time I wanted to recreate but my expectations of this stay were sadly not met. I pre-paid $820 for two nights only to find out dogs are no longer allowed in the pool area, a new development not listed with their dog friendly status online. Had I not prepaid I would have driven home. I ended up hanging out with my dog on the room's front porch in 92 degree heat. I could done the exact same at home for free in Venice, CA in 72 degree weather with free water access. The place is listed as pet friendly which I guess now only refers to allowing dogs to stay in your room for $50. With a dog, it was a complete waste of $820.

Great cozy cabin-like rooms. Some rooms equipped with a jacuzzi. Also an on site bar which was nice to get an adult beverage during the evening. Parking however can get tight. Hotel guests should have priority.

This place was very accommodating for our 3 night stay! We had a room with a jacuzzi and it was lovely. The one and only thing I would rate the room poorly for was the lack of good lighting and I don’t think that’s the hotel’s fault. Even with all of the lights in the room on, you can barely see things at full capacity. Everything else was absolutely wonderful and we would definitely stay again if we were in town visiting. The staff was friendly, the rooms were nice. They provide an in-room basket full of snacks which is a nice option, especially when you crave a late night snack and nothing is open. One thing I’ll add that I absolutely loved was my knew knowledge of “plant based” toilet paper. It’s so soft and goes a long way, something I’ve already looked up on Amazon and plan on using in the future!

Pure magic! Thanks especially to Marty who went above and beyond to help me with a question I had about tile after my stay. The beds are so comfy, and we really appreciated the attention to detail due to their recent remodel. Love this place. A go to in Ojai with a wonderful wine bar and super accommodating and friendly staff.

Avoid this place at all cost. Staff told us our group was “off-brand” to the aesthetic of their hotel. The most discriminatory & rude experience one could imagine.

Disappointing to say the least, I saw/heard such good reviews about this place so I booked it for a 2 night stay in Ojai. The Jacuzzi bath (which I paid extra for) didn't work. The room was extremely noisy, the room next door had builders working in it from 8 am drilling, banging, and shouting. At one stage they had a full-on argument lasting around 15 minutes. They also seemed to be climbing all over the roof of my room.

There is little privacy with the curtains of the window on the front needing to be kept shut the whole time so people can't see in (important when there are 3 builders outside walking back and forth all day), and the lighting is inadequate so you're pretty much sitting in the dark.

No amenities are included except soap/shampoo/conditioner. There is a basket of things to buy in the room but at extortionate prices.not even a tea bag included in a $300-a-night room?

This place is absolute magic. This old motel has been updated in the most thoughtful way. The rooms are quaint, the premise is pristine, and the small touches make you feel at home. Though “trendy, ” it truly has everything you need, and nothin’ you don’t. I spent a lovely evening using the shared sauna and enjoying the communal lawn area. Plus, the showers in the rooms are ~amazing~.

My only flag is that the rooms are right off a busy road and the walls between rooms are very thin! It can be a bit loud for sleeping.

The room is a bit overpriced in my opinion for what it offers. The walls are very thin and I could hear the family next door talking and thumping around. The hot tub in the room made the room better than average, and the bed was comfortable. They offer a snack basket full of expensive locally sourced treats to eat and sample with high price tags. ~ The lighting is dark. The furnishings are retro chic sort of. The staff were helpful and very nice. I did not try the bar, or go into the lobby for coffee.

Very accommodating, beautiful rooms and the jacuzzi tub is was a nice bonus. Bar on site. Pool and sauna. Plus you can rent bikes to take down the path which connects most of the area

Take a trip back to the 50's with 21st century comforts! Our room has high ceilings and knotty pine paneling. We slept well in the king-size bed with plenty of pillows and lovely bedding. Our room includes a mini fridge, microwave and small electric kettle along with 2 mugs and 2 glasses. The jacuzzi tub is the real deal, not some sorry standard tub with jets that don't work. Of course there is also a shower. Each room has a porch with two tables and a table.
