Hotel Santa Barbara
Very well appointed hotel but had issues with the air conditioning system and could not get the room cool enough for sleeping. Kind of a bummer. It would be nice if there was a restaurant or room service. Also didn’t loce having to pay $30 a night for parking.

Nice hotel, right off the freeway. Rooms are clean and comfortable. Free parking, nice breakfast, well kept grounds. Beautiful lagoon with turtles, koi fish, and ducks that you can feed. Hotel staff very friendly especially Jeanie in the breakfast room. She was a pleasure to talk to. Will definitely ...

Ojai Valley Inn
The property was pretty. However it was not as expected. My husband also got food poisoning on the first day we arrived. Had in room dining and dinner at the Ollevilla, after that he ended up back in the room in the bathroom all night. It was our anniversary and it was a horrible experience.
