This place is not in Downtown Ojai. But close enough. We stayed in Room 6 (casita) for one night. It had a living room, a kitchen with small dinette, and two bedrooms with a bathroom in-between. One of the bedroom had a private 1/2 bath. There were private patio on the side of the unit plus a big patio table... More

We came upon the Blue Igauna towards the end of a long road trip, and were very pleasantly surprised. Staff reception was very welcoming, including a personal escort to our room. The room itself was very cozy and immaculately clean, with a lot of very nice personal touches. The beds and linens were very high quality and we had the... More

The Blue Iguana is a little outside of town surrounded by not-great properties, but don't let that discourage you. The resort itself is meticulously maintained and the suites well appointed and cozy. The continental breakfast is a great mix of healthy treats and fruit. The views of nearby mountains are relaxing. The staff was helpful and friendly.

We stayed here for one night while on a road trip. It was a lovely change from chain hotels and the buildings and gardens are beautiful, the check-in staff friendly and helpful and we only wish we had arrived earlier to linger longer.

Service was excellent and a beautiful quaint place. The only downside was I happen to be in the handicap room which is closest to street so it was a bit noisy. If you want quiet it's probably not going to be the right place for you plus it's about 3 miles into heart of town. Given the price, I would... More

My fiancé and I had a wonderful stay at the Blue Iguana. If you don't mind the 5 min drive to town, it's a wonderful location close by to many attractions. The staff was friendly and the rooms were comfortable and homey. The complimentary breakfast was a great start to the day. I was also staying while there were many... More

We loved everything about the hotel except there were many children there, who were very noisy. We were not aware that this hotel is more family and pet friendly than their sister hotel, the Green Iguana. Next time we will stay there. Perhaps the web-site could point this out in a clearer fashion. Carol & Steve

The weekend these guests stayed we did have a large family reuinion in house w/ many more children than usual. It was a warm weekend so the kids spent a lot of time by the pool. We do hope these guests will come again to enjoy a more tranquil weekend. More

Noticed that the room had no phone and my cel reception was bad. Called the office from my cel and said I couldn't find the room phone- she said they removed them but... More

We were here to hike in the surrounding hills and this was a pleasant base. The room (105) was spacious, clean and well-lit. We weren't able to fully utilize our outdoor patio area as the light went out and they weren't able to get it lit even by the next night. They did make an effort. Everyone was helpful. The... More

We stayed 3 nights in one of the back rooms (Hacienda?) that had a small courtyard and also access to a common gazebo area where I sat and read my book in the afternoons. Felt like a complete getaway in our own little house. Microwave, fridge, coffee and good internet access. Comfortable bed and soft sheets. Very quiet. Because the... More
