Went to Ojai Valley Inn after meeting up with some friends for breakfast and someone recommended…read morechecking out their spa! WOW, such a little slice of sanctuary. We came on a Saturday early afternoon and started at one of their restaurants. The food was amazing, but service was definitely on the slower side. The resort is huge and has so many activities tennis, golf, bike rentals and more. After that, we headed over to the spa and spent the rest of the day relaxing by the pool. The vibe was so calm, mostly women just chatting, unwinding, and enjoying each other in this peaceful little paradise. We ordered smoothies poolside and omg...so fresh and refreshing. Service at the spa pool was great, everyone seemed to be working together seamlessly and checking in often without being overbearing. Definitely one of those spots I'd come back to anytime I need a reset from LA.

Non-Functional Fireplaces: Despite booking rooms specifically for their private fireplaces, neither unit was operational. Maintenance staff confirmed they were aware of these defects prior to our arrival, yet the rooms were still marketed. The main resolution offered was to use the public fireplace. Chromecast and AC were both very finicky as well, not what you expect from a luxury resort. Noise issues: Mgmt seems to endorse rowdy parties at their restaurants vs maintaining a serene setting. And room walls are thin so if you have the misfortune of being by a wild child, good luck sleeping. There are some nice perks and amenities (grounds are great, some free gym classes (not all), the turn down service (appreciate the proactively cords wrapping). Mgmt tried to an extent to help make things right, but were focused more on their economics vs customer experience. Cool to see a raccoon prowling the outdoor fireplace area at night though.

Check in was a breeze, friendly fast, cute little reception area. The vibe of the hotel is so fun and so Ojai. We had a jacuzzi tub room and that was a treat. Bed was super cozy.

The whole place was great and we are already planning to come back. If you're looking for fancy? This isn't the place.

I genuinely don't understand why this place gets so many glowing reviews. Our stay was extremely…read moreuncomfortable from start to finish. The photos on their website are also very misleading, the space is much much smaller than it appears. The shower, in particular, is incredibly cramped (roughly 3 by 2 feet), making it difficult to use comfortably. The air conditioning unit was so loud that we barely slept at night. I even attempted to host a Zoom meeting from inside, but had to cancel because the noise made it impossible to hear anything. When we raised these issues with the office, their suggestion was to open the windows, which only added insult to injury because of how uncomfortably hot it was inside. To make matters worse , when they eventually offered a partial refund, it came less than an hour before the time they required us to vacate, and we weren't even on-site at the time. After we informed them that we had checked out early, they offered an even smaller refund, which we have still not received a month later. Overall, a very disappointing experience. Do yourself a favor and find more comfortable accommodations.

We asked for a one night stay instead of the two night minimum, they ended up charging us for the 2…read morenights anyway, and when we canceled a week before, they took half $$ of the full two days rate. For a tiny airstream $500 for one night. The one day was advertised at little over $200 on their website. So yes they will let you stay one night but at the cost for two nights. How stupid is that? Their cancellation policy is nowhere to be found on their website or when booking. What a joke. Other hotels in town cost the same amount but at least there is a room that has more than 50 square feet of space to stay in, and a shower larger than the 3 foot x 3 foot shower they offer in these airstreams located in the industrial buildings area of Ojai. Oh and your view: Public Storage across the street. Dog poop in the rocks outside the airstream. Will never stay there.

I am reviewing the owner Julia in this post…read more Although the Inns (both Blue and Emerald) are beautiful, I am having a very hard time with the owner. I booked a room in October of 2025 for a wedding in May 2026 (May 21-May 23). I just received an email this morning letting me know I did not have a room due to construction going on in my particular room which began in January and will not be complete by the time I check in. Not only did Julia not give me any suggestions of where to go, she actually had a room available at a higher cost which she a) did not offer to me for the inconvenience b) did not offer it to me at a discount. Before she emailed me this should have taken care of. Julia's bad planning basically caused me to have to spend a lot more money or cancel the much anticipated wedding of a very close friend. Julia kept silent after apologizing (not profusely btw) for the "inconvenience" she caused. I should have not even heard from her until check in with a "i'm sorry but your original room is under construction so we gave you this better room" I gave the name of this hotel to 2 other people and booked so so far in advance. She did refund my money but it is Memorial day weekend and prices have skyrocketed and nothing is available. I would NOT recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to be treated fairly. She had the nerve to tell me the room that was available was a lot more money with no discount nothing. This woman has ZERO business acumen and I can not say enough bad things about her in this one post. It was such an "Oh Well" attitude ...She had so many options to give a) offer me the room b) offer me the room at a discounted rate c) find me a room during the most crowded weekend and offer to pay the difference d) offer me a coupon to come back with a free night ........awful awful awful .....I hope the other people in the party cancel and find something else but they are probably stuck here because nothing is available.

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

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!

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 WILL NOT BE RETURNING UNFORTUNATELY.

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.

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.

The problems started immediately. Our door keys failed and had to be fixed or replaced when we were…read morelocked out. The room was initially filled with a harsh bleach smell that made us feel sick while trying to sleep. Although staff said the bed was "new" it was stiff and uncomfortable. The rooms sit along a parking lot and bright lights shone through the plantation shutters at night. A loud refrigerator was right next to the bed, which would have kept us awake even without the light and strong chemical odor. In the middle of the night, I got up and stepped barefoot in a cold puddle. The refrigerator had leaked water onto the floor. We had to turn on the lights and mop it up with towels. Apart from offering an equally bad room the next day (after the smell had started to wane), removing the refrigerator and replacing our towels, there was essentially no effort to make this right. Staff explained door keys often fail if they're placed near a cell phone -- as though that is normal! I know things can go wrong (Murphy's law), but it's the attitude of indifference that really sets this property apart. We didn't get the restful stay we paid for and expected. Worse, this trip was for my wife's birthday. (My fault for not reading the reviews.) Nonetheless, there appeared to be little concern for our experience or even the business' poor reputation. We ended up leaving a day early -- despite the no refund policy -- just to get away. A few photos of the "clean and well-appointed room" are attached.
