Top Ojai Hotel Reviews

Ojai Valley Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Took my two teenage daughters on a last minute trip to Ojai Ranch and we had the best time. Only stayed 2 nights but found the perfect balance of fun and relaxation. The setting is gorgeous and the resort spread out, so you never feel like it's too crowded. There are plenty of activities to partake in, but some of the best times were spent riding bikes in to town, roasting s'mores on the lawn, and lounging by the pool. Food and amenities were top notch. The cafe has delicious coffee and treats and food that are easy to grab at any time. Staff was super friendly and accommodating, and we even got upgraded to a bigger room that was centrally located and perfect for us. Overall we cannot wait to come back!"

Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The Hilton Beachfront Resort is perfectly located across the street from the beach with an amazing view of the ocean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My family and I really enjoyed our stay there."

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"The property was charming, clean, well appointed and tastefully decorated. The staff was also equally amazing"

The Franciscan Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"10000% staying here for all future Santa Barbara trips! Everything was amazing."

Inn By The Harbor

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and comfortable rooms. Very helpful staff."

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria South

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, great staff, and a/c was fine."

Sandpiper Lodge

8/10 Good

"Good mid-Priced stay; the two-room suite is excellent, with a small refrigerator and microwave. Perfect for families. Very nice staff. Location is doable, not super close to the action on State Street and Pier, but only a 9-12 minute drive. Parking was easy to find 10 garages or lots off of State. Breakfast is ok- continental- coffee is good and strong. Basics: cereal, oatmeal, store-bought bagels, croissants (must toast both), fruit; they need to upgrade or carry a better variety of both Regular (Dannon) and Greek yogurt (Chobani). Overall fine, but it would be ideal if they had more variety, i.e., peanut butter for toast. Pool is fine but just off parking lot. This is a lodge, not a hotel, but it worked perfectly for our family as we just wanted beds to crash in at night. And it was clean, quiet, and a good place to rest between our beach, resort pass, bicycle, Mission Visits, and Solvang/Channel Islands day-trip excursions."

Ventura Beach Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"Everyone was great"

Zachari Dunes on Mandalay Beach, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property. On the expensive side but well worth it. I got a basic king suite and it was perfect. The pool area was great for the kids with plenty of space and loungers. I loved that they had a staff member whose only job was to offer treats, tennis balls and pup cups to guests with dogs, so cute! 10/10 The young man at the valet was especially helpful and nice"
