Charming exterior and rustic/cowboy decorated rooms, good location (about a block or so from Downtown Ojai) and quite affordable, only problem is NOTHING WORKED! Got booked into room 1 and the first warning was the key did not work so i had to get a new one. It was a chilly night so I went to turn on the heater... more

If you wikipedia (yes, it's a verb... and who uses the encyclopedia these days anyway?) the word "FAIL", you're more than likely to come across a picture of the Ojai Rancho Inn, particularly room #7. Seeing that we didn't have the one gajillion dollars to spend on one night at the Ojai Valley Inn around the corner, we decided to... more

Their website is very beguiling, but unfortunately does not show the property in its current state. The hotel and room decor is 'fifties Cowboy Western....not unpleasant. We had made reservations on-line based on the photos we saw on the site. We were drawn-in by the price of 89.00 for a standard king room. Upon arrival we found the room to... more

Don't let the charming look of the outside fool you! After checking in to The Ojai Rancho Inn and after getting settled, I decided to check out the pool. I was told there was a code but when I tried to open it, it wouldn't work. (Red Flag Number one) I decided to not worry about it and head off... more

The Ojai Rancho Inn is reminiscent of an old motor inn. It's in a great location just a block or so out of Ojai's downtown area, and even though it's right off the main thoroughfare it was nice and quiet. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. Our room was very cabin-like with wood-paneled walls, high ceiling, and western/cowboy accents. It... more

Bottom line: this hotel needs new linens and it needs to be deep cleaned. The carpets were so dirty. At first I tried to ignore this but it soon became impossible. We woke up after our first night there, covered in bug bites and feeling allergic to the dusty room. Until there are new linens and some serious housekeeping, I... more

I booked my visit by contacting the facility directly. It took several calls over several days to get confirmation by email. When we got there the daily breakfast was served between 8 to 10:00 AM. But it was always served late, the coffee or hot water was cold, and very few items on the table with no chairs and tables... more

My wife, toddler daughter, and I went to Ojai last weekend for a little get away. The pictures on the Ojai Rancho Inn(O.R.I.) website looked great and I chose the O.R.I. because I was interested in spending some pool time with my daughter. When we got to the O.R.I., I had a feeling that I had made a mistake in... more

The outside is a drive up to your door type motel. First impression - UH-OH!! Carpet was dirty, Bed covers were dirty, Pillow missing, no remote for Direct TV (imagine having to browse 700+ channels without a remote). Kitchenette area dirty. Crack running across the entire bathroom floor. The pool and jacuzzi were gross. We had heard that they had... more
