Hotel Diary: Ojai Valley Inn
I’ve lived in Los Angeles for 34 years and until last year I’d never stepped foot in Ojai, the charming city only 2+ hours away from me. After my second trip there I just have to yell from the rooftops about how amazing it is! Our most recent stay was at the Ojai Valley Inn for Andy’s birthday and it did not disappoint. Keep scrolling to see why I highly recommend for a couples getaway and don’t forget to check out my Ojai Travel Guide with activities, eats, and more.

Location
Unlike other locations, Ojai is a tiny town which means everything is very central. You’ll most definitely pass by Ojai Valley Inn during any trip to Ojai. The draw of Ojai Valley Inn is the expansive property itself that really has everything you could possibly need for a weekend away. To be honest, I had all intentions of taking Andy to some other spots in Ojai during our trip but after 3 days we realized we NEVER left Ojai Valley Inn. With 3 pools, 6 eateries, a golf course, spa, bike rentals + picnic options, and incredible rooms you really don’t have to leave which makes for an extra relaxing visit to Ojai.
The Vibe
Spanish bungalow and desert resort goodness! The clientele is definitely a bit older given their nightly rates but if you’re looking to really veg out in a beautiful setting, Ojai Valley Inn is your spot. It’s also very romantic and a great place to reconnect with your S.O.
The Rooms
We stayed in a Fire Place Mini Suite that opened out onto the golf course. Andy was in heaven to say the least. I’m pretty sure you can’t go wrong with any room in the place. We had great customer service and room service the entire time we were there.

Everything in one place! It’s such a treat to just turn off your brain and not have to think about what to do or where to eat when everything is all a golf cart ride away.
