Nice little oasis away from the crowds

Pros: We only stayed for a night but really enjoyed this little hideaway. Perched on top of a small hill, the hotel offered a quiet respite from the town below. There's a lovely patio with fireplace overlooking the valley - perfect for enjoying the evening and looking at the stars. There's also a lovely waterfall/pond feature. Lots of birds and bunnies hanging around. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was continental but had several good options.

Cons: N.A

Peaceful and convenient

Pros: Location was perfect , quiet and close to art supplies shop and a great Italian restaurant, Pappa Lennon which was recommended to me by the staff at Ojai Retreat. The bed was comfortable and the breakfast great.

Cons: The kitchenette could have had more cutlery and crockery.

Relaxing stay in a beautiful environment

Pros: Very nice setting in a great environment. Very peaceful but still close to everything (activities, restaurants, ..). Breakfast buffet with more than enough choice. Also the communication for arrivals after reception hours is very clear.

Cons: The rooms could use a refreshment, they are a bit old fashioned. Also the patio at the Eucalyptusroom is not the most cosy spot but there are sufficient other places in the garden where you can enjoy the environment and wildlife.

A private, peaceful and mindful stay in a beautiful location.

Pros: Beautiful location overlooking the Ojai hills - 5/10 minute drive from downtown. A beautiful tranquil setting with lovely walks through meadows from the Inn. Feels more like an AirBnB - private and quiet. We would choose it again for this reason! Lovely, helpful staff. Nice breakfast with healthy choices. Homely furnishings. Plenty of opportunity to nourish the soul with philosophy, meditation books and opportunities for mindful walking.

Cons: Nothing…….. we really enjoyed our stay. It is such a comfortable place because the people who run it have found contentment 🙏 A little suggestion would be to include some yoga mats in each room. Yoga classes can be booked, but the place is so perfect for morning yoga self practice and I didn’t have my mat with me!!

Calm peaceful retreat with a magnificent view.

Pros: Calm and peaceful. Great view - very comfortable bed!

Peaceful & relaxing

Pros: Fabulous views and lovely gardens. A little remote from the main town, but fine with a car. We had one of the two rooms with a shared bathroom - but we did have a galley kitchen outside and the main lounge was next door. So, altogether, we had plenty of space & facilities. Breakfast was plentiful and good quality. Ojai is a very special area.

Cons: Checking in closes at 5pm - if you arrive after this time the arrangements to get your room key are straightforward, but you don’t meet anyone from the Retreat. We needed an early breakfast and didn’t meet anyone then either!

Truly a retreat!

Pros: A relaxing oasis of calm, perfect for a reset if you've been feeling over stimulated! Lovely staff, comfortable bedroom, beautiful setting, with mountain views and green grounds. Good buffet breakfast, hot food at weekends. Excellent reading room, with a huge collection of spiritual books. 10 mins drive into downtown Ojai.

Cons: Nothing.

I would certainly delight in staying here again and will recommend the place and Ojai to others.

Pros: The breakfast was delicious with lots of choices. There were plenty of towels and blankets and pillows. As a librarian, I loved that there was a lending library for reading while on the property with an emphasis on Ojai and Ojai people and personalities, for example J. Krishnamurti. The view and the scenery was spectacular. The ambiance of the Ojai Retreat and Inn was serene, calm, warm and welcoming. My friend and I enjoyed our overnight stay and enjoyed a nearby day spa the next day as well as taking walks in town and visiting yard sales and lunched at a local eatery. I would certainly delight in staying here again and will recommend the place and your town to family and friends.

Cons: The bed and the pull out couch were good. We could not put the couch back together and the bed in the couch was supposed to slide back into place. We could not figure it out. Sorry. The air was too dry and we needed a humidifier.
