This is the most beautiful hotel I have ever stayed at. The view was amazing . The staff were exceptionally kind and made sure we had everything we needed. Whenever we are in Ojai, we will stay at this hotel!!!!

Room we were in was old and shabby with a couple of windows that didn't work, and the towels were from another century I believe. Wifi did not work most of the time in our room. It is a beautiful location, on top of a hill with nice views.

A let down. The view is the only plus. The rooms are very old. The cleaner came once, and didn’t come back so we couldn’t empty our rubbish. Was a nice area, but no restaurants nearby. You will need to drive into town. It’s basic considering the high cost in October.
