This hotel is an adventurous traveler’s dream. The aesthetics, affordability, and proximity to the downtown and natural areas made it perfectly accessible and enjoyable to stay.
Details I enjoyed the most:
~ The scenery and furniture- beautiful! (Stained glass, Tiffany lamps✨ mosaic, nature) it smelled really good too
~ The bed was comfortable
~ The private feel to every room was nice (upstairs had a small patio area)
~ Jacuzzi in the room (we didn’t use it but that was cool!)
~ Beautiful breakfast area with birds and fish
~ The pool area had a bathroom which was SO helpful since it included a shower
~ Bathrobes
~ Soft towels and pool towels provided without having to ask
~ Towels to place on the floor after shower
~ The AC was pleasant, had fan option and cool

I really loved the stay, it was the perfect place for a getaway ✨

The room was ok but the light over the sink area (bathroom was toilet and shower only) the light did not work, maybe so we would not see the broken drawer under it hanging askew. The bathroom amenities, the usual shampoo, conditioner and lotion but only a small bar of hand soap and no body wash, and the lotion was 1/2 full. The TV was not connected to a network and we could not get it to connect. We went to the front desk but no one was there and a sign said to call a number but we only got voicemail and we didn't bother to leave a nessage; we were only staying one night. Instead we watched a movie on my tablet using their Wifi. I cannot imagine how people felt to pay the prices we saw for the weekend which was $150 more per night than what we paid during the week and we paid over $200!!!

I booked several rooms for guests that came to visit form out-of-state. Luckily I stopped by the Inn prior to their arrival to make sure that all was in order for their check-in (I had prepaid the entire stay through Expedia). I was informed at the reception that for Chantico Inn, I should have booked directly with the Inn because Expedia charges are never sufficient. Expedia charged the nightly room fee, taxes, and a Property Fee of $75/room for each room. Chantico Inn demanded another $95/room on-site as a \"resort-fee\". First of all, Chantico is not a \"resort\"and secondly there was no mention on Expedia NOR on the Chantico website about a resort fee. Noone could tell me the difference between the \"Property Fee\" by Expedia and the \"Resort Fee\" on-site. The combined fees added up to a very expensive week in a mediocre \"motel\" with questionable room quality, and at time of check-in, I had to accept it because it was too late to change venues. One positive: the housekeeping staff was very friendly and working hard to keep the worn-out rooms clean. The receptionist had to refer to the manager, and the manager kept referring to the \"owner\" when questioned about fees. It felt like a one big scam. I do not recommend this venue to anyone. Ojai has many alternatives that with these prices are way better. I use Expedia for personal and business travel -- generally with excellent results, so this was a bad surprise.

This was by far one of the worst hotel experiences I have ever had. I could not stay in my room. I ended up sleeping on the couch at a winery for 2 days. The shower was dirty upon arrival. If I showered there I would have needed to keep my shoes on. The jacuzzi tub was no better. It was dirty and had hair in it that was not mine. There were stains on the bed spread. Staff was not present continually but rather left a phone number to call. I took pictures and will follow up. I would not recommend this place to anyone. It’s a dump!

We arrived in the early evening for a tennis tournament and no one was at the front desk. When someone finally came, they said we owed 70 more dollars directly to the hotel beyond the already paid amount on Expedia for added tax as we were staying two nights ( this despite Expedia saying we were paid in full). This was in ADDITION to paying over 350 a night for what turned out to be a smelly, tiny sunken room with only one small window... to a hallway with a loud ice machine, oh and I almost forgot the very lumpy, bumpy bed. When we had to leave abruptly the next morning due to a medical emergency and didn't stay the second night, they promised they would refund the $70 two night tax we were required to pay on our arrival but never kept their word. I recommend saving your money and staying at a motel for $ 80 a night for better comfort and service.

Almost 500 for a room listed as 2 queens and spa tub. There were stains on the towels, stained dripping sink, a bolt holding the shower handle, a spa tub that had missing buttons and did not function. A missing drawer in the dresser. Artwork with what looked like cat scratches. No manager present to complain too. Called Expedia and they sadly gave me some useless one key cash. Will never recommend this hotel or Expedia to anyone. Pictures will be places here too.

There is NO SPA. They do NOT offer in room massages. These were the only reasons why I booked here to begin with. Very disappointed when the receptionist told me upon check in that they don’t offer these amenities. Additionally they don’t provide bottled water in the room, no in room safe, no additional pillows, no nothing. They charge a lot of money for a basic motel room. Definite hard pass.

this place was terrible. room we booked not avajlable so had to settle for room 1 with 2 queens. first off they say there’s a jacuzzi, but it’s basically a bath that won’t fit inside the small bathroom. jets don’t work in the jacuzzi. so what’s the point. the bathroom vanity countertop is cracked. there’s a hole in the ceiling of the bathroom where there was supposed to be a light fixture? to pay several hundred for the his room is a true tragedy.

Bait-and-switch. Charged over $400 for a room with 'spa bath', only to discover, AT CHECK-IN, that the bath was broken. Also, the pool and hot tub (the other two reasons I booked this hotel) were 'being cleaned' and 'might be open later', only to find the pool completely drained, with yellow CAUTION TAPE blocking access to the pool/hot tub area. Then told pool was undergoing 'last-minute repairs' (no cleaners or service people ever on-site). Was told we could 'find another place' if we wanted a refund (on a Sat evening, this was impossible), but because we USED HOTELS.COM no partial refund could be given for lying about the spa-tub room. Well, at least we could watch TV with \"all premium channels included\". Nope! Not a single premium app was 'connected to the network', not even live TV (only discovered this after getting the dead batteries replaced in the remote). Could be a decent place with all the amenities working (AS ADVERTISED), but instead had a cheap motel feel (also greeted with half-used bottle of conditioner & the CHEAPEST soaps possible). I would really like someone to offer at least a 50% refund. Otherwise, I would advise you to steer clear of both Chantico Inn AND Hotels.com, as neither seems interested in taking responsibility for false advertising and terrible service.

I know you don’t stock your air b and b with family heirlooms, but it felt like they had spent the absolute minimum to furnish this place. Beds and couch were uncomfortable no TV, chairs that were plastic and felt like they were about to break. It made the stay uncomfortable. No sugar for coffee. It just felt half assed.

Hotel was overbooked and we were turned away.

We had driven to Ojai from LA specifically for this hotel stay, but the hotel did not honor our reservation. We had to travel back to LA.

This is utterly unacceptable
and beyond disappointing!

Please see that the payment is refunded promptly.

A reimbursement for gas mileage, wasted time and a ruined Holiday weekend is also in order.

Receptionist claimed there was an issue with your website and that she couldn’t process the payment due to a recent change in her operating system. She indicated she canceled the Expedia reservation and then asked me to pay again with my own credit card (separate from this reservation). I fear I have been ripped off. We’ll sort this out when I get home.

While the hotel has a great location and was cozy, the hotel add a large amount of hidden fees. I have never come across this before using hotel.com and was quite frustrated the hotel did this. I will probably book somewhere else in the future.

<$100 quality of $263 per night price tag. Good location as it is walkable to many great spots. The place had character but everything was outdated. Sunken bed, thin walls and ceilings, water pressure in the shower, soaps and shampoo…all could use an upgrade to justify the cost.

The staff was courteous and the facility nicely decorated and very clean. It was located within easy walking distance of many places to eat and shop. Our room, was a little of a problem though. The room was clean but…. the refrigerator did not work at all, the shower curtain fell down and couldn’t be put back up and the main lamp in the room did not have a shade on it and other light fixtures were unusable. The patio area outside our patio door was not private. Other people were using it. The ice machine was not working. There was a store nearby where I was able to walk to and buy ice.

Room was in good condition and the property has lots of cute outdoor sitting areas including one for our room. The front desk didn’t have any room keys available so I had to download an app to get into the room which was a whole process with emails and verification codes. I would have much preferred a simple room key. Free parking onsite

Front desk is unstaffed most of the day so if you have issues like connecting to the wifi you will be out of luck. Rooms were averagely clean- didn’t have the attention to basic details like setting the time on the alarm clock or microwave. Hotel seemed empty but put me in a room closest to the Main Street so it was noisy all night. $25 fee for lost room keys (rfid card that probably cost less then a dollar a piece) seemed ridiculous to me.

Sheets were dirty. Front desk had to come to change them.

One curtain was missing so my window was uncovered.

There was no closet. So not even a place to hang up my jacket.

Shower was dirty. If you put your fingers by the ledge, it was black.

$254 dollars a night. Was a rip off. Front desk staff was helpful and friendly.

Best thing is the location! Very walkable to stores and walking trail. Cute aesthetics. The pool and jacuzzi were nice and warm. Sadly a lot of flaws added up. Front desk was rarely there. We only saw them at check in. You have to call them if you need them. Breakfast was very meh. Got slightly better with more guests. Maybe better to just eat elsewhere. No warm food or fruit- just drinks, cereal, pastries, bread. Waffles were available with more guests but the waffle maker was old and NOT nonstick even if you spray it with oil. Mix just got stuck, so it was unusable anyway. Room 8 bathroom door couldn’t close, the door and frame were misaligned so you have to block it with a towel on the floor to close it slightly for privacy. Most disappointing thing is we paid more for a suite with a jacuzzi and the jacuzzi didn’t even work. We had to call (No front desk) to ask what was wrong. They said it was broken and so were 2 other room jacuzzis and they said someone should’ve told us when we checked in. No apologies and no one told us at check in. No refund or new room was offered. I would have rather saved money on a normal room. I hope they can at least offer a partial refund. Very cute place but such a waste if they don’t step it up to improve these fixable issues. Not sure if we’d book again.

Staffing at the front desk is spotty. Continental breakfast was bad with bagged pastries. There were no spoons or bowls for the hot oatmeal. There were no more hot cups for coffee or tea. There's no excuse for running out of paper or utensil supplies - just sloppy & inattentiveness. Why bother even offering breakfast if the guests can't eat it?

Location of property was good. Convenient walk to shops and restaurants. The Chantico Inn management of the property is very poor. During my stay there was only one person present on the property doing everything: running front desk, setting up continental breakfast, cleaning rooms, doing laundry. Whenever we needed help, she was not easily found. We had to call someone off the premise to intervene.

Buyer beware. This hotel engages in bait and switch pricing. Reserved room through Expedia for total price and then day of arrival hotel notifies you that have an upcharge. That’s disingenuous. I am now trying to resolve the matter with expedia. No where on Expedia states additional hotels fees. Contacted manager and response was you signed the pre check in customer information card which is where they sneak in the additional fees. After that conversation I’ve been ghosted. Thank goodness Expedia is taking the lead. Additionally, staff is sparse or non existent on property and weeks prior to arrival requested a room on 1st floor due to guest needs and never received a response. Ended up having to take room in 2nd floor. We even left a day early due to these issues. I’ve stayed in lots of places and this is one of the worst. Will not be returning. If deciding to stay there I’d suggest making sure the price is the one you’re expecting.

Our nightmare 2-night stay started with the fact that they don’t open their office until 3 pm. We arrived early and sat in our car for an hour until we decided to go get something to eat. When we returned, their computer system was down and they had no way of checking you in and needed to be paid in cash. They had a Very Disappointing continental breakfast consisting of coffee (no decaf) 2 little servings of sugary cereal, bread and muffins. Again, the office was closed and the maid didn’t speak English. Later the 2nd day, they locked us out of our room (I assume they only had me booked for 1 night) and Again, they don’t open the office until 3! I had food poisoning and couldn’t get into my room to use the bathroom!!! It took an hour to finally reach someone at their after-hours phone number to get someone to come to the hotel and give us new cards to our room. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL OVERPRICED COST!!

Avoid at all costs

They double charged my card even though the first time it showed approved. On check in was the only time someone was at the desk, otherwise a “please call this number” sign was posted. Breakfast was meager and stale considering $425/night. Non-guests were using the rather small pool and letting their children splash people not even in the pool. The jacuzzi controls were broken, effectively a useless, second bath tub. I checked, there were no other places available our second night or we would have left. Lastly, seems like parking was insufficient.

It's a charming property, and we liked the swimming pool on a hot afternoon. The room (#13) feels exposed since there's a common area for other guests just outside the door, along with the adjacent highway. And there were blinking colored lights turned on at night that were visible through our curtains. The bathroom could use extra cleaning.

As a local, I put up a guest here during an emergency situation in which our power was cut off. I paid for our guest and put their name on the reservation via Orbitz. Upon check in my guest was told that they owed a separate fee because they needed to make up for the fee. They paid to the third-party platform a.k.a. Orbitz. This is illegal and sleazy.

As a small business, the staff is nice but does not always staff the front desk. I respect small business B&B style,, but unfortunately, there are things to be attended to with somebody on staff without having to text or call the ‘night number.’ For example, the ice machine was empty. The breakfast was only DIY waffles, toast and cereal and the coffee pot was empty. The pool had leaves in it but was fortunately a good temp. Most of all they need to confirm with guests that they have successfully refunded the $150 deposit thru charge, especially when there was no one to talk to at checkout. Beds were comfortable and we love Ojai, so I believe they can do better.

The Expedia website let me book a room at the Chantico Inn that I could never use. The hotel was already closed for the night at 10:30pm when I booked it but there was no way to possibly know that the hotel was already closed according to the Expedia website. And when I arrived at 11 pm and the office was closed there was no way to check into my room. The hotel lists 2 different people and their phone numbers as \"after hours\" contacts but I called and texted them both multiple times with no answer. And when I contacted the hotel the next day they refused to give me a refund. What did I possibly do wrong here other than get completely taken advantage of? It is unethical and dishonest for them not to give me a refund.

Great location and good nights sleep

Excellent location and the service wa great. The towels felt clean and soft as well as the bed. There was a spot missed when cleaning though as there was clothing left behind from the previous guest. As a solo traveler the large peep hole in the door didn't make me feel too comfortable as well as not having a front desk person overnight. Overall though it was a great night's sleep.
