I can't say enough good things about this business. This little Inn was a great find! Seriously!!The owner was really kind about us checking in late after a concert and the room was perfect, great parking, quiet location and a very fair price without compromising the quality of the expe Best of all!! They are truly good people! I left a really important necklace and was sure I would lose it because I had no idea where I left it!! Scott told me not to worry the maid had found it and put it safely in the lost and found. I was so grateful to have stayed somewhere that is not only adorable and enjoyable but also run by an honest man. Thank you Oakridge Inn, Scott and your wonderful staff, I highly recommend this location. read more

What an incredible transformation the Oakridge had undergone in recent years! It is a comfortable stay with all of the amenities you could ask for. It is not at all pretentious but it is a welcome oasis for a wear traveller who wants a cozy night of rest in close proximity to all of the creature comforts. High marks for the man in charge - your hard work is most appreciated! read more

Extremely well maintained property. Full time on site management to insure quiet and calm 24/7. The pastoral mountain view from the second floor is phenomenal! Grounds are lovely with newly painted exterior. Although the traffic can be heard at times, once the AC is turned on, all outside noise is eliminated. The bed was comfortable, the shower strong, the amenities adequate. Recommend for a great alternative to much, much higher Ojai rates. read more

Very good for a moderate-priced motel. Everything in the room was fine. The manger on duty was helpful, nice and courteous. A very good price, especially for the area. read more

The rude, disgusting cretin behind the desk chased me off before I even came here on Yelp to see others too didn't have a great experience. And I didn't even make it far enough to book here, the phone etiquette was that bad..... The piece of work answering the phone couldn't even give me a quote over the phone for a 7 night stay with tax without asking him 3 times over. This man was screaming at me over the phone. No apparent reason. It really threw me off. Really off-putting and gave me an immediate vibe of "slimy sketch". Very apparent this guy doesn't want business and desperately needs a crash course in customer service. I was so horrified and disgusted at his lack of professionalism, I thanked him and couldn't get off the phone fast enough. (Found another place in downtown Ojai just 5 min later to actually have been treated with real professionalism and courtesy.) After seeing the pics and other reviewers remarks, I'm ultimately thankful his disgraceful attitude showcased over the phone. (It probably saved me a traumatic experience of filth and bedbugs) Because he likely mirrors the property itself. Horribly unpleasant. read more

Your basic motel. 'Brunch' in the office in the morning. Friendly guy behind the desk. Clean and basic. Not much to say.

It's not the Ritz or anything, but so what? Alright, it's not exactly the "Best Western" either... Basically, what the Oakridge Inn has going for it is the price. Through Hotels.com, I got a really good deal for a two-night, weekend stay that came to under $150, so I'm not sure what all these other reviewers are talking about. My room was fine. Clean. Cozy. I mean, at the end of the day, it's a hotel. It's not exactly eye candy, but for how much you're paying and your proximity to Ojai, it's not a bad deal. I didn't spend a lot of time at the inn, as it's a short drive to Ojai and an even shorter hike to Lake Casitas. There's just a lot going on in this little countryside area outside Los Angeles. You're not even that far from the beach in Ventura. And there's a certain flavor to the little town of Oak View. Granted, the hotel manager wasn't the most personable fellow in the world. I wasn't impressed, but I wasn't there to revel in the meager amenities of a subpar, backwoods hotel. It's liveable for the price, so if you're looking to have a brief excursion in the Ojai area and aren't dead set on making your hotel feel like a home, then this might be the right option for you. read more

This hotel is in the perfect location, halfway between Ventura and Ojai. I had to visit, on business, during the Pandemic, and it was comforting to see how careful and clean they were, to keep anti-COVID protocols! It's not fancy, but if you're a traveler keeping to a budget, this will more than meet your needs. Plus, it really is very clean and the staff is helpful and professional! read more

For a last minute booking, we were pretty scared to book this place. But it is an extremely nice surprise! Very clean, spacious, and the bathroom we got was huge! I can see how people would think the front desk gentlemen can come off rude, but I lived in Philly for over 10 years, and he's just a matter of fact guy. He was actually very cool and helpful. We would come here again. Especially since it's pet friendly! :) read more

Phoned in a reservation directly to the Hotel, on a Thursday morning. Plans changed and I called back a couple hours later to cancel the room. The man on the phone was really rushed and , short tempered. Told me he already charged the room to my card ! I said that was illegal ! He informed me I was wrong, and said he told me I agreed to letting him charge me that day. I most certainly did not! When I said so, he told me too bad, we had a couple more exchanges ( i remained calm) And he promptly HUNG up on me. I was speechless ! I will get my charges back, I Called my Credit Card company and filed a complaint. Wouldn't recommend this Hotel .... terrible rude business practices. read more

I really liked this place! Bathroom was huge, place is super clean and very reasonable price compare to Ojai!!i would stay here again!!

I spent 2 night at the Oakridge Inn while racing bikes in Santa Barbara. I chose the inn because they are a dog friendly, affordable place. My expectations were not set high but they were definitely exceeded. The guy at the front desk was more than helpful in making sure I could check into my room after the office closed. Going into the room I was impressed to see the size of the single queen room and the inclusion of the mini kitchen area with the microwave and the fridge. The provided dishes/utensils were a plus. The bathroom was big and everything was clean. The bed was not the most comfy thing but it wasn't as bad as some reviews would have you believe. Pros: Pet friendly with low pet rates. Clean, big rooms. Friendly staff Cons: No 24 hour staff so plan ahead if you are coming in late. Next time I am in the Ojai area with my dog I will likely stay at the Oakridge again. Great place that was easy on my wallet. read more

What can I say, clean and quite. All it matter at the location. The clerk was nice, but was wearing a wife beater and a beard. But again, I guest it's just the local thing. I book this because everywhere was was super expensive due to Memorial day weekend. If your look for food, I suggest drive to 101 and your find places, but 15 min drive. Food at the location has few choices. read more

On a recent trip to the Ojai area my party and I were sadly late to make reservations, and this was our last resort. It would have been better to sleep in our car! Our beds felt like a rock & pillows were mushy. We woke up with sore backs, and our baby had a rash on their legs from the sheets here at the motel. And the smells that we encountered were unexplainable. Like sewage. Supposedly this is a good deal for the area, but it was probably the worst $140 I've ever spent in my life. I also felt very unsafe there with kids. And to top it all off, the person at the desk was completely rude, and condescending. I called asking about the wifi & got screamed at. A total turn off of a motel. Update: response from the "owner" is a lie. I wasn't even the person in my party to check out & we definitely never said "thank you for a pleasant stay" read more

My wife and I have been doing a great deal of traveling, and typically trust the reviews before booking. Sometimes, we're very, very disappointed. NOT with Oakridge Inn and staff. Aside from being clean and well appointed, the quality construction totally blocks out any possible noice from neighbors. The staff was beyond outstanding. Get this! I managed to lose a gold crown, and instead of bagging it and putting it my luggage, I set it at the base of a lamp, and forget too pack it when I left. A day later I realized my mistake. Turns out, they had saved it for me!!!! Being small, it could have easily been swept into the trash. Oakridge Inn will be our go to stay when we return to that area, which will be often. THANK YOU Oakridge Inn!!!!! read more

BED BUGS!!! Our tenants stayed here while we were doing a renovation. They came back with bed bugs. Management refuses to take responsibility. read more

Good affordable option if you're heading to Ojai (8 miles away) or Lake Casitas (4 miles away). Very clean rooms, comfy bed, Room 105 had a table & 2 chairs, as well as a great kids' bunk bed with little desk built in. The towels were so fluffy, like a fancy hotel's towels, and the water pressure was good. The spa is clean and warm, and there's breakfast until 10. Scott, the manager at the front desk, is a man of little words but absolutely very helpful. The area doesn't have much in walking distance, but there are a couple little eateries within a mile. The hotel is better than the area (the 5 stars is for the hotel) but staying outside of town saves a lot of cashola. I'd stay here again. read more

Spent the weekend staying here as a jumping off point to explore Ojai, Santa Barbara and Ventura. The accommodations were inexpensive, clean, comfortable and made it easy to explore the nearby towns while saving a few bucks. Also, the service was amazing! I forgot my favorite shirt in the room and they held on to it and shipped it to me. Thanks again!!! read more

This place was a great little find. I spent the night here on a business trip to Ojai and booked my room at a discounted rate from hotels.com. Scott the owner was very helpful and accommodating. The room was clean, smelled clean, and was a pretty large room compared to similar hotels. If you're looking for safe, clean, affordable accommodations in or around Ojai, I highly recommend the Oakridge Inn. I'll definitely be staying there on future trips! Thanks Scott! read more

If you're visiting Ojai for a spell, the Oakridge Inn is a short drive away. Our room was large, with a queen bed, pull-out love seat, fridge and microwave. This place meets the two most important standards, CLEAN and QUIET. It's no Ritz, but it gets the job done. There is even a small heated pool at the back if you are so inclined. read more

This has everything you need but basic. Walking distance to food if you like to walk. Quick check in and out. Old key system though.

I really loved this place! The ac worked good! They had a warm pool. The room is great. Fridge and microwave. Nice clean bathroom. Clean beds. I will def go back here read more

I recently had to spend several nights here due to a plumbing disaster at home. I was pleasantly surprised with the level of cleanliness and that even the cheapest room had a fridge and microwave. The beds are comfy too. It was pretty quiet and the manager was helpful. I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for inexpensive but nice accommodations anywhere near Ojai. read more

Oakridge manager Doug was so rude when I was trying to get a room and asked him if they offered triple A discounts he kept yelling at us with a attitude saying no stop trying to hustle me with ur aaa discount !". Doug was a complete jerk and I'll never recommend this hotel because of real bad customer service!!!!!!!! Disgusting! read more

Scott at the front desk was very condescending and rude. Very difficult. And lies and says that he is the manager. He was very argumentative. read more

Stopped in this past weekend without a reservation and the kind and friendly host gave us a big room on the second floor for a very reasonable price. Not the fanciest place in the world but for the price, it was a serious bargain. Bed was fantastic, room clean, fridge and microwave in working order, nice TV and remote with plenty of battery power. Room was quiet even facing HWY 33. Close to the tony and over-priced Ojai "spas", tons of restaurants around, a nice, better-than-expected continental breakfast. Clerk (name escapes me) was there the evening we checked in and there in the morning, too -- very friendly, accommodating, and polite. Would definitely stay here again if we're in the area and looking for a great, reasonable place at fantastic prices. read more

We stayed here for a friends wedding in Ojai. We liked this hotel because we weren't getting bothered about things by the cleaning service or management, it was peaceful, we enjoyed the large jacuzzi pool, the bedroom had all the necessities we needed for sleep and hygiene, it had a coffee pot, dishes, silverware, mini fridge, microwave, tourist info, heating/air unit etc, in your own room. Continental breakfast. We didn't spend much time in our room because the location was placed perfectly between Ventura and Ojai so we did A LOT of exploring. Lovely place to stay, clean and convenient. read more

This place is so outdated! You would think for the money they charge in a town with little to nothing to do they would upgrade the rooms to make it more modern. The decor is so outdated it feels like I stepped back into 1980s! The bed is uncomfortable felt like a sink hole. Shower head was good only if your under 5ft tall. Of all times I didn't bring a hair dryer expecting to use the hotels' they did not have one in the room. The desk clerk was not very friendly with checking us in he was preoccupied with a football game on tv. I would not recommend staying here. read more

About fourteen family members needed accommodations for a family gathering. Most people were staying two nights and I agreed to book 2 more rooms for other family members, along with our room. The manager, Scott,(who later claimed to be the owner, when I asked for owners's name), was very rude and sketchy quoting me different prices every couple of minutes during my initial phone call with him. I asked him why there was a variety of prices and he said it was if you wanted the better bed...several of us decided to look at other hotels( we were willing to pay more) but nothing was available. We were also promised a discount because many people along with our family were planning to attend....we did not receive a discount,instead we were ripped off. The people I booked the other two rooms for decided to stay only one night, I only found out early the day we were checking in. I called Scott to notify him of this situation,before I could say that we understand that we are obligated to pay for the room if he can not rebook it, he rudely says that we called too late, blah, blah, blah. When I final had a chance to talk, I tell him we understand that if it can't be "sold" for that night, we pay....no problem. The rooms were all outdated and smelled musty, my room actually had a huge spider web that had attached itself to a huge cobweb. It included a very dead Daddy Longlegs. On the morning of the second day, the two parties that had decided to leave after one day, decided to let other relatives in our group use those rooms ( they were previously sharing and the empty rooms were paid for so why not?..). Well, when I went to tell Scott ( mister friendly), he said one of the rooms had been booked so I asked how they would be reimbursing us and he said "it didn't work that way, you don't understand the hotel business". So I replied that that was equivalent to stealing, collecting double payment, it was obvious to me he wasn't going to give our money back when he said "I'm sick of dealing with you". I informed him I would be placing poor reviews everywhere that I could. He gave me a worried "sigh" but that was all. Oh by the way, the VACANCY SIGN was on, so he didn't have to use the room that was already paid for by us. Scott is not a pleasant person, should not be in the hospitality business, and people should avoid patronizing this place! read more

Just got off the phone with John from oak ridge inn, I'm not happy that the management charged me for my room for two nights when I called to cancel the reservation a few weeks ago. I talked to a person on the phone to cancel my reservation , was going to stay there for a wedding in ojai, but founder a cheaper place in Ventura , clock tower inn. The person a few weeks ago said that they would cancel my reservation for me, didn't get a confirmation number. Now I'm surprised that they charged me for two night in June 28-29. Talked to John from oak ridge, he wanted a confirmation number, said that they don't send out emails for cancelation confirmation , and even said that the front desk workers may not always give a confirmation number when they are busy at the desk and that the guest usually have to ask for a name and a confirmation number . What kind of business says they will cancel a reservation and don't follow through, not give a confirmation number , and then blame the guest for not having a confirmation number. John said that he would cancel my room for tonight but not for last night. I called my credit card company to dispute and the credit card company will give oak ridge inn 14 days to refund the charges before disputing the charges. I'll send an update on the final outcome. I understand that not having a confirmation number makes it difficult to dispute a charge, I was just really surprised when I found out that oak ridge inn doesn't allows give a confirmation number because they may be busy at the front desk. Just very disappointed that oak ridge inn didn't canceled my reservation when I initially called, didn't give me a confirmation number, charged me for two nights without even calling me. If you stay here then be sure to get the name of the front desk person that you talk to for reservations or cancelations ! read more

After searching for a place to stay, I saw the pictures that were posted for Oakridge Inn and made the reservation as it seemed like it would be a great place to stay. When I arrived, I was very disappointed. It was nothing like the photos that were posted. It's a "Motel" not Hotel or Inn (the name is Oakridge Inn........but the outside of the building says Oakridge Motel. The outside of the place is run down and really needs a face lift. After entering the rooms (I ordered 2 rooms), they were decent. But I really wasn't happy because the cost didn't match up with the expectations and I felt that it was more like a "Motel 6". So....I took a drive up the road to check out the availability of the other hotels and was considering eating the charges of Oakridge Inn and try somewhere else. All the places I went to were all filled up, so I had no choice but to stay at Oakridge Inn. The man at the font desk was rude both on arrival and departure so that made me more disappointed. I would think twice about booking here. If it's the last resort you have, then it would be just OK. read more

Finishing up a two-week road trip so we had lots of experience with motels. While in the Santa Barbara area we drove a little further and booked into the Oakridge because the Motel 6 was $186 a night (as of 7/10/15) and other hotels were north of $300, so this was a substantial savings. We were pleasantly surprised. We were very late arrivals that night but the innkeeper stayed open to greet us. It is a motel format. Our upstairs room 109 was very clean and larger than I expected, with a big separate bathroom and lots of space for luggage so it didn't clutter the room. The room had two Serta Perfect Sleeper queen beds that were very comfortable, with good quality linens, Calvin Klein blankets and pleasant decor. Standard motel amenities were all there, like refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave, flat screen TV, wi-fi,etc. We were not looking for a place with a gym, sauna, masseur or any of those things that pump up the price. We slept well and have no complaints. Told the manager we would stay at the Oakridge whenever we were in the Santa Barbara/Ojai area, and we will. read more

We stayed here in lieu of Ojai as it was half the price. The jacuzzi was super clean and hot if you tell the staff you want to use it. The room was clean and spacious with super big bathroom. The continental breakfast was pretty simple but for the price it was great. Just minutes away from Ojai and within walking distance of several good restaurants. read more

The OakRidge Inn is the first Motel you see conning thru Oak View headed into Ojai and I'm glad it is ! Headed into Ojai for a family retreat I stopped in for the OakRidge for a quote... Excuse me ??? I said, how much ? The OakRidge price was 1/3 the price of all the cottages in Ojai. I saved over $185 a night !!! The others in town are small and way way to over priced. I didn't tell the family where I was staying because I wanted to enjoy the peace quiet while away.. Especially while soaking in the warm and clean "Juccizzi Pool " they had in the back I had no idea !! It was surrounded by queen palms and had comfy patio furniture and a working large ice maker filled with ice for my cocktail... The Inn is also Pet friendly !! Woof Woof ! no problem ! Cheer's to Scott Adair, the helpful manage. cheers to the sweet maid staff and even the kind hearted guest I would see and talk to in the mornings as I got complementary fresh coffee and breakfast munchies.each morning ! F.Y.I - MAKE YOUR RESERVATION IN ADVANCE THEY CLOSE OFFICE DOORS AT 9pm ! Don't forget your suit too !! read more

Great place to say near Ojai. Clean, comfortable, and reasonable. I would stay there again.

Great price ! Small rooms ! Kind of outdated but worth the price I got it for. Was pretty close to the main areas and very quiet place. Not bad for the price at all. read more

Sorry, but this motel is grossly overrated for many reasons. Sometimes we stay at motels when traveling and sometimes slightly nicer places, so we're not hotel snobs, however we usually stay at The Emerald Iguana or The Blue Iguana when we come to Ojai. Unfortunately, they were booked this weekend and after looking around it seemed that basic motels were the only availability and based on the pictures and reviews we decided to stay here. It was sadly misrepresented by the pictures ... the room was barley large enough for two of us to stand up in at the same time and the bed was so uncomfortable, and pillows so flat, we never slept. The bedding was so full of electricity there were literally sparks flying off the bedspread all night whenever we moved the covers.... never mind the crazy static in my hair this morning when I got up. The price of $90/nt was far too high for what it was & we stay at Motel 6 now and then, so I would say its graded lower than Motel 6. read more

We booked this hotel because of its proximity to Lake Casitas. Since my first phone call to them, I felt the aggressiveness and rudeness of the receptionist. I booked using Booking.com, as I usually do, to have their backing as I did feel that something might go wrong. Reservation said "Breakfast is included in the room fare". This turned out to be a lie. They have coffee at at the registration desk and a plastic wrapped pastry. Nothing else. When I discussed this with the receptionist, he said "Yes, we have continental BREAKFAST". I said that I found this to be misleading and that I would leave my comments on the net. His answer: "I have heard that before", which tells me I am not the first to be unhappy with this place. I guess they do not have to lie about breakfast. They can say that they have complementary coffee and pastry at the reception desk. It does feel as if the place is going down fast and they'll do anything to get some business, including misleading statements on their advertisement. Occupancy was dismal, only a couple of rooms. As we are mature people, we did not let this spoil our visit, but I would have expected more courtesy, manners, politeness, rather than confrontation. If you do go there, be warned and do it at your own risk. Perhaps it will change hands soon and will offer a better service. It is well located but expensive for what they offer. I do expect that guy to leave an answer to this comment. I would not be surprised ... but, it is your call if you book it and go there. I am not coming back till they change their manners. read more
