Ojai Vacations from $819

While I'm glad there's available parking, the parking area is a tight area that makes getting in and out a bit tricky. Sometimes, you need another person to navigate you out of there.

It was a lovely hotel

I actually really liked the small rooms. They had a certain charm — cozy, unpretentious, almost endearing in their simplicity. That said, I do wish they were better soundproofed. You’ll hear everything that goes on in the hallway, and I mean everything. The sweet, tender moments between families. The hushed giggles of lovers sharing a private joke. The guttural symphony of someone purging their late-night choices into a wastebasket. It’s all part of the ambiance, I suppose — an unexpectedly intimate glimpse into the lives of strangers. If you're a light sleeper or value privacy, pack earplugs. But if you don't mind a little audio theatre with your stay, there's something oddly human about it.

Lovely property. Quiet neighborhood, yet close to State Street, shops, restaurants, wharf, etc. Our room was well appointed, and beds were very comfortable. We also had washer/dryer and kitchen which made our stay convenient. And we loved the rooftop seating! Only slight complaint is that living room furniture was not very comfortable for our movie night (couch and chairs are small, don't have headrests and are not oriented toward TV). But we made it work. We enjoyed our stay!
