The Blue Iguana is just a short-distance outside of Ojai. While very close to a road, the rooms in the back of the property are quiet and lovely. The Inn is full of lovely details and thoughtful touches and breakfast under the big oak tree on the lawn is wonderful. Rooms are large - especially the suites, and well-appointed. Staff... More

We went to Ojai for the first time a few weeks ago. We were not at all impressed with Ojai, but we loved the Blue Iguana. We had the Alegra house - which was huge, had 3 outdoor areas and a yard, all fenced in and very private. The place was really great. Would for sure stay at that hotel... More

Great place to stay! We arrived early for our check in time, and they were nice enough to quickly accommodate us. Rooms were very private and quiet and larger than expected. We look forward to staying there again.

This place is not in Downtown Ojai. But close enough. We stayed in Room 6 (casita) for one night. It had a living room, a kitchen with small dinette, and two bedrooms with a bathroom in-between. One of the bedroom had a private 1/2 bath. There were private patio on the side of the unit plus a big patio table... More

We came upon the Blue Igauna towards the end of a long road trip, and were very pleasantly surprised. Staff reception was very welcoming, including a personal escort to our room. The room itself was very cozy and immaculately clean, with a lot of very nice personal touches. The beds and linens were very high quality and we had the... More

The Blue Iguana is a little outside of town surrounded by not-great properties, but don't let that discourage you. The resort itself is meticulously maintained and the suites well appointed and cozy. The continental breakfast is a great mix of healthy treats and fruit. The views of nearby mountains are relaxing. The staff was helpful and friendly.

We stayed here for one night while on a road trip. It was a lovely change from chain hotels and the buildings and gardens are beautiful, the check-in staff friendly and helpful and we only wish we had arrived earlier to linger longer.

Service was excellent and a beautiful quaint place. The only downside was I happen to be in the handicap room which is closest to street so it was a bit noisy. If you want quiet it's probably not going to be the right place for you plus it's about 3 miles into heart of town. Given the price, I would... More

My fiancé and I had a wonderful stay at the Blue Iguana. If you don't mind the 5 min drive to town, it's a wonderful location close by to many attractions. The staff was friendly and the rooms were comfortable and homey. The complimentary breakfast was a great start to the day. I was also staying while there were many... More

We loved everything about the hotel except there were many children there, who were very noisy. We were not aware that this hotel is more family and pet friendly than their sister hotel, the Green Iguana. Next time we will stay there. Perhaps the web-site could point this out in a clearer fashion. Carol & Steve

The weekend these guests stayed we did have a large family reuinion in house w/ many more children than usual. It was a warm weekend so the kids spent a lot of time by the pool. We do hope these guests will come again to enjoy a more tranquil weekend. More
