Clean and quiet. Great decor inside and outside. Comfortable beds and pillows. The area to eat breakfast was beautiful just to sit outside and relax. Breakfast itself could use some work though but fine for a morning coffee or tea.

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.

Stay away!!!!

The hotel charged my debit card for my room the day before we checked in. I chose this hotel because it said reserve now, pay later. I was going to pay at the hotel on the day of check in and did not consent to paying a day early. I have done this reserve now pay later with other hotels and have had no issue. Also, they charged my credit card $25 for nothing a few days after we checked out. We literally stayed the night, and did not have any of the free breakfast, the hotel room was perfectly intact as we had first come to it when we first checked in. This has never happened before to us with any other hotels. It definitely ruined our anniversary stay and left me feeling frustrated and like they had stolen from us. Stay far away. Definitely shady. You call the office and no one ever answers. When I had hotels.com try to call them they couldn’t not contact them either and told me to keep trying to no avail. Do not stay here. Also no one is ever at the front desk. When we checked out there was just a basket that said leave keys here.
