"We stayed here a week and were able to enjoy staying in, walking to the beach, and was a close walk to liquor and grocery store. They had a bottle of champagne for us when we arrived which we greatly appreciated!"
"Our stay was 5/9 -5/10. We were very disappointed that we were not informed when we booked our room and made our spa appointments, that we would not be allowed on property until noon. This was a Mother's Day celebration for my daughters. They both took time off work and made childcare arrangements so we could take full advantage of the spa when it opened at 8:30. I received a call the day before our arrival confirming our appointments and that is when I was informed of the spa's reduced...
"This is my favorite of all the small hotels in Ojai. Best location for walking into town and the rooms are well appointed, clean and spacious. It's a gem!"

5/5 Excellent
"AMAZING place! Cute, peaceful, with beautiful flowers and plant trellises all over. It gives an English cottage vibe. My Fiance and I LOVED our time here. But my favorite part is how much you get for your money. When we checked in they let us know there was a complimentary champagne bottle in our room, complimentary breakfast served 7am-10am and free bike and DVD rentals upon request! It feels like you can actually go on vacation and just just relax and have fun and enjoy the hotel and space and area and the staff are so nice and helpful!
I don't think I've ever been at a hotel where it didn't feel like I was price gouged, but also the place was out of a storybook, the area is RIGHT by downtown AND the beach, and so much comes with your room.
This was truly my favorite hotel I've ever stayed in. Highly recommend!"

"They had a continental breakfast. There were a ton of dinner options near by. The staff was very polite and they made the check in and out quick and easy."
"We absolutely LOVED everything about this quaint little hotel nestled beneath the palm trees near the beach. The customer service was top notch from the welcome email received right after booking, to the follow up saying they were looking forward to our arrival. Ben at the front desk treated us like family from the moment we walked in, greeting us with fresh coffee, warm cookies and the inside scoop on a map with everything we would want to see within walking distance. We were pleasantly surprised to find that our room was actually a suite with a full living room & kitchenette that included a full size refrigerator, microwave, dishes and even wine glasses. It was super clean with lots of smart upgrades and the bed was super comfy. All the amenities of home. Definitely one of the nicest places we have ever stayed. We will certainly stay there again and tell all our friends to do the same. Thank you Franciscan for being so fabulous! "

"Check in was very quick and nice. Person at check in was very helpful in telling us about restaurants nearby. We stayed on the ground floor w/an ocean view. Room was very nice. Didn't notice any noise outside in the hall even though our room was in front of the elevators. The restaurant, Convivo, was good also. The staff at the bar was super friendly and service was excellent. "
"It's hard to find the driveway for the property but after that the hotel is close to all the area attractions. We walked everywhere. This is a quaint hotel with a friendly staff. The only drawback was the small shower."
