“Looking up”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 21, 2012

Although the property is slightly removed from the center of downtown Ojai, there was measurable late night traffic on Ojai Avenue, which was discernible from room 10. We flipped on the ceiling fan to help mask the noise. The bathroom (as stated by others) is also in need of updating, which brings us to the good news! Upon check-out we learned that the property has new owners who will be upgrading and updating the rooms. They had begun in the reception area already - the installation of fabulous, locally crafted ceramic chandeliers. If the rooms continue the same decor, the new owners will end up with a very charming property. The staff was very helpful, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the jacuzzi tub (which I would normally eschew) proved to be an excellent feature for relaxation. Ask for a room away from the street and you will enjoy a very good value.

Room Tip: ask for a room to the back of the property

“Enjoyed it overall!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

I booked a room for a weekend, although a bit scared and not knowing what to expect from some of the bad reviews. Glad I decided to stay! Loved the room, big jacuzzi tub with hot water (I only say there was hot water because some other reviews complained about that) and EXTREMELY comfortable king size bed. It was a great and relaxing weekend.

Only disappointment was the woman at the desk (Teresa?) who was rude at check in. I tried to ask her about the town and she did not even look up from her computer screen (online shopping...?). Just plain bad customer service. On the contrary, the young girl at the desk in the morning was very polite and pointed out some nice spots in town. The inn has coffee and tea in the morning so we asked the girl where to go for breakfast and she recommended Ojai Emporium, which was very good and helped us have a great Sunday morning! Thank you for that!

Great inn and despite some bad customer service, we'll be back (after some staff gets more customer service training hopefully) We look forward to our next stay at the Ojai Rancho Inn!

Room Tip: Ask for an upgrade! I booked a standard and got bumped up to a jacuzzi at no charge!

“Rustic affordable price”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 21, 2012

First time staying in ojai , had to change rooms due to no hot water for hot tub and bathroom, clean room, showers need to be redone, very affordable with good service from the front desk, would stay here again if we return to Ojai, not really impressed with the town

Room Tip: In room hot tubs are very small think twice

“Enjoyed our stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 18, 2012

We stayed here for 2 nights in a room with a Jacuzzi. As noted in other reviews, the rooms are quite rustic with stone floors (watch your step!) and wood vaulted ceilings. Our room was a bit too "cozy" for my husband, as he repeatedly bumped into the bed frame, bathroom sink, and comfy lounge chair! The location is convenient, but the traffic noise was loud at times. The pool area was quiet and private and we enjoyed a nice evening picnic there. The pool was too cold for us to enjoy -- but we had the Jacuzzi! Complimentary coffee and teas were offered each morning. By far, the amenity we enjoyed most was the complimentary use of the bicycles and the close proximity to the Ojai Trail (which we're told goes all the way to Ventura). Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay at Ojai Rancho Inn.

“Quiet, Scenic, Relaxed & Conveniently Located”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 9, 2012

Furnished with a "cabin in the woods" feel with a kitchenette, our room had a wide-screen television, and very comfortable bed. The swimming pool was just a few steps away, and was open until late. Therese on the front desk made us very welcome both on the phone and when we arrived. The property is located very close to the center of Ojai, so it is convenient, and yet still has an "away from it all" feel. We enjoyed our visit tremendously. Thank you.
