    Charming spot with a great vibe

    I enjoyed my stay, especially for its beautiful surroundings and cozy atmosphere. The room was clean and comfortable, and the bar offered fantastic service and a lively crowd. The pool area was a lovely oasis to relax. However, the shower did need a bit of improvement as it could have used better water pressure.

    unexpected luxury jacuzzi
    bicycling adventure

    Overall, it was an excellent stay. We relished the laid-back vibe while soaking in the jacuzzi tub, truly a luxurious touch that made our evenings perfect. Plus, the bike rides to the market? Just thrilling!

    Pricey? Sure, but you get what you pay for in comfort and charm.

    friendly staff
    uncomfortable mattress

    The room was pretty spacious for us, and we were in the back, so road noise wasn't a big deal. It was clean, but just a tad dark because of all the wood. We enjoyed the whirlpool tub, but the mattress could've been a bit better—woke up with a sore back. Oh, and the ceiling lights didn’t help much either. Still, the vibe was cozy overall.

    spacious layout
    vibrant atmosphere
    noise issues

    The Superior King Room offered a spacious layout and comfortable bedding, perfect for unwinding after a long day. The pool area exuded a vibrant atmosphere, drawing in a lively crowd that made for a relaxed environment to meet fellow travelers.

    Our room had an adjoining door, allowing some noise from neighbors to seep through, particularly noticeable due to its proximity to the bar where music played until 10 PM. The wifi signal struggled to reach our room adequately, which may pose a hassle for those needing reliable connectivity. Additionally, the overall lighting felt dim without the overhead light on, making it challenging to navigate the space comfortably.

    comfortable bed
    clean room

    This place was an excellent fit for a stopover in Ojai with outstanding value. The wooden bed in our room was comfortable and added a nice touch to our stay. Request a room away from the street for a quieter night.

    vibrant bar
    cozy clean room
    pool oasis
    poor lighting
    shower curtain issues

    The bar at Rancho Inn is a total gem, perfect for unwinding with an organic pulled pork taco in hand! The pool vibe is pure oasis—chill music, hammocks—ideal for kicking back after a day of exploring Ojai's culinary hotspots. The room was cozy and clean, with the best bed and shower!

    But, man, the lighting situation was a bit of a bummer—the bedside lamp was more of a spotlight, making bedtime reading a tough gig. And don’t get me started on the shower—it was like swimming in shadows! Still, I managed to enjoy everything else.

    jacuzzi room
    friendly staff

    We had an excellent time at this place the reception staff were super friendly and welcoming and we loved our room with a HUGE jacuzzi that was just what we needed to unwind after a long day.

    It wasn’t exactly a bargain but it was worth it.

    nice pool
    fun activities
    great location
    loud guests

    Had a fantastic time with my friends here! We relaxed by the pool, enjoyed some drinks, and even played corn hole. It's a great spot for a fun getaway. Just keep in mind that the rooms near the street can be a bit noisy. Would definitely recommend for a chill group trip!

    One downside was the noise from other guests late at night, which made it hard to get a good night's sleep.

    poor shower lighting

    We loved chilling by the lovely lawn and enjoying the cozy king room with spa bath. The pool area was perfect for unwinding, and the firepit added a fun touch to our evenings. Just a heads up, the shower lighting could use some improvement, but it didn’t take away from our great time! 😊

    no drinking water
    poor shower design

    I had a cozy stay in the garden cottage, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere around the pool. However, the lighting in the room was quite dim, making it hard to read, and access to drinking water was unclear. Overall, a charming place for a short getaway, especially for those wanting to relax by the pool.
