This place was perfect for a weekend getaway from the city. The room was beautiful and every little detail was just perfect. We are already planning our next stay!

10/10 Exceptional

quaint, quiet, cute, casual & comfy
We will definitely stay here again. Comfortable, clean, and the bed was surprisingly comfortable. It sits back off the main road, so was quieter than expected. I can't remember the last time my husband and I slept in! The heater was a little quirky, but once we figured it out, it was fine. The loaner bikes are a bonus. All in all, a very peaceful and relaxing getaway.

2/10 Poor

1950's hotel
We stayed only one night out of two planned. The first room the TV did not work so we moved into second. This place is rustic but not comfortable. The heater control was hard to understand so it was not on at night so we were cold.

Simple, Clean And Friendly
Simple and clean. No extras (lotions or shampoos). Great location but need more lighting around the hotel. We were talking a walk before New Year dinner on the 12/31 and istead of nice Italian restaurant I ended up at the Emergency Room. It was dark outside and I triped and landed face down on the concrete. Missing tooth and stiches inside my lip and out. I'm not saying that it's hotel's fault, just suggesting the light in the area could be better. So be careful at night.

4/10 Fair

Rustic but not comfortable
The room was cute and rustic, but the uneven stone floor was cold and the small cotton area rug was slippery on the stone floor. The toilet had problems right from the beginning. The heater worked well, but all heat rose into the high peaked ceiling. Maybe in another season, the room would have been cozier.

good location
The hotel was good value and on the main street. It was only a few blocks from the middle of downtown. Nice to have free bike use and the trails were just outside the backdoor. Helpful staff. Bed was comfortable and enjoyed the jacuzzi in the room. Some sand on the stone floors but otherwise clean.

8/10 Very good

nice place, would probably visit again.
The hotel is right off of the main street, easy in, easy out. this is more of a motel style with a park in front of your room type of setup. there are two long bungalows with at least 8 rooms each (i didn't take a tally) and a nice country vibe. i heard the place was recently renovated and it looks pretty cool. painted wood faces inside and out, big wooden king size bed, stone on the floor, and was pretty clean. our room had a little kitchen and directv playing on an lcd (although kind of a waste, since the receiver isn't widescreen/hd capable). we didn't check out the jacuzzi or pool. staff was friendly. the bad was intermittent no hot water. staff was kind of aware of the issue, they mentioned it may be because a lot of people are showering or the jacuzzi is running. said to try in 20 minutes and let them know. i forgot to let them know, but it was a good hour before any hot water came through (barely lukewarm otherwise) this was a 5 pm. the next morning there was hot water, but it would randomly get cold. also they weren't able to accommodate a late check out due to staff shortage... which sucks... on a Sunday morning. there was also no breakfast, just coffee and tea, which is not what the description said when booking. it didn't matter that much to me but i thought i'd point it out. one mildly annoying thing was the lack of a night stand on my side of the bed. all in all, i would come back. i got a great deal and had a great time. if they get the water issues fixed, i don't think they should have a problem keeping the rooms busy.

Great Room with Personality
We really enjoyed this room, best part of Ojai! Slate floors, Western/country decor, in room hot tub was great. Immaculate! First room - hot water was out, so we were moved to a second room, which was perfect. Staff was very friendly and apologetic about hot water situation, which unfortunately prevented coffee in the am as well. If we'd been staying longer we would have loved to take advantage of the free bikes and the bike route behind the hotel.

Nice rustic California getaway
Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Room clean and well maintained. Had kitchenette which was a surprise. Close to downtown Ojai. Quiet. I liked the rustic decor. I would recommend this motel to a friend.

Romance in a room
It was a very pleasant surprise to open our room door and be treated to a redwood panelled, wooden setting with a floor made of individual flat stones and a miniature hot tub in one corner. It was like staying in a rustic cabin, complete with the creaking ceiling with the changing tempuratures. We had just reserved a hotel room in Ojai as a getaway and didn't expect the warmth presented by this room.

Nice quiet place
The room was very nice and it was a quiet place. They had cereal in the morning. We were told there would be waffles, but the place changed ownership and the new owners don't serve them. The pool area is nice, but the pool is pretty cold and it needed a little cleaning. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Great weekend getaway!
We really enjoyed our stay at the El Rancho. The location is very close to town. Liked the cowboy/cowgirl decor; the rooms were clean, quite and friendly staff, quiet. The pool was not open (closed by the county apparently - and had been since September) but pool area was still a nice area to enjoy.. Reasonably priced - we'd definitely come back again.

Cowboy Chic
I have stayed at this hotel many times and enjoy the quaintness of the rooms and of Ojai itself. The kitchenette is great for saving money on lunch or snacks. This trip it was cold in town and I could not get the heater to come on. I guess there is a trick to taking off the thermostat cover. I wish the staff had taped a note to it or something. It would have made the trip much more comfortable. The cottage rooms are by far the best value for your dollar.

Ojai Rancho Inn Review
Had dinner at a local Pizza Parlor. Great food and awesome people. What made my stay more enjoyable had to be the Hotel Service staff and the cleaninnes of the room was perfect. Check in was a breeze with a smile. This trip can be compare to 0nes i've taken in the past. I only wish i could stay there one more day. But is was a 1 day Bussinness trip...

Clean Bed, Polite Staff, But...
I essentially needed a clean place to stay, but the facility was aged, including a coupld of the towels in my room that were ready to shred... The office did not open until 8 a.m., so I could not ask for a replacement towel. The staff was polite and nice, but the facility was aged and in disrepair. The sign in the lobby lists a bunch of "complimantary" stuff that should be in the room, but I did not find the toothpaste. If you just want to crash in a clean bed after a business meeting, you can't beat the price!

2/10 Poor

Not woth the money
Upon arriving and checking in at this motel I attempted to make friendly conversation with the staff by indicating that I was in town for the annual Ojai Yoga Crib/yoga retreat. I was called one of "those people" by two front desk staff members. Any reference to yoga students was "those people". I felt very uncomfortable being referred to in such a rude way as I and other yoga students were choosing to spend our money in this establishment. When I entered my room the smell was so bad I knew I couldn't stay in it and had to be moved to another room. When I returned to the front desk one of the staff members was sleeping with her head on the desk. The second room still wasn't pleasant smelling, but wasn't quite as bad as the first. As I was settling in I noticed that the toilet would not stop running. I reported this information to the front desk staff and was told to "put up with it." No one ever came to fix the problem. I went out for the whole day the next day and when I returned to the room it had not been cleaned by housekeeping, so there was a full trash can and dirty towels. Again I reported to the front desk staff and the response was "Oh." I had to ask for at least clean towels, as no offer was made for someone to come and clean the room. During my second night, around 11:45 pm I was bit by a spider while sleeping. Of course this woke me up and caused great concern. It was clear the room wasn't cleaned on a regular basis if I could be completely covered in bed and have a spider crawl in and bite me. Upon inspection I found several large cob webs behind the bed. At this point I chose to check out the next morning. The front desk staff did not ask why, did not ask if there was a problem with my room. I requested a refund and was told someone would call me later. No one ever called nor did they respond to a complaint filed with the Better Business Bureau. I do not recommend this motel to anyone. It is dirty, the customer service is poor, the staff is unhelpful and uncaring. Casa Ojai just down the road was kind enough to rent me a room for the remainder of my stay and offered me a yoga discount they were offering for the weekend. They welcomed the yoga students and were kind, helpful and grateful for our business. Casa Ojai is a far better choice for your business.
