Ojai Valley Inn – Location

Ojai Valley Inn sits on 220 acres near Los Padres National Forest and is walkable to downtown Ojai.

  • About a 10-minute walk to the on-site golf course and short drives to local shops, galleries and Libbey Bowl.
  • Views of the Topatopa Mountains and easy access to hiking and local bike trails.
  • Nearest major airports are roughly 30–60 minutes by car depending on route; no direct public airport transfers provided.

Choose Ojai if you want hilltop/valley scenery, quiet grounds and on-site outdoor activities.

Cliff House Inn On The Ocean – Location

  • Address: 6602 Old Pacific Coast Hwy, Ventura, CA 93001; preferred airport Oxnard (OXR).
  • Within a 15-minute drive of Ventura Pier and local beaches; easy day trips to Carpinteria and Santa Barbara.
  • Smaller property footprint focused on beach and ocean views rather than expansive grounds.

Choose Cliff House Inn for immediate beach access and a coastal location between Ventura and Santa Barbara.

Rooms: suites and variety vs. compact ocean views

Ojai Valley Inn – Rooms

Ojai Valley Inn offers a wide mix of 303 rooms and suites with Spanish-hacienda styling and suite options.

  • 13 room types including Paseo Villa, One Bedroom Spa Penthouse Suite and Hacienda Penthouse.
  • In-room amenities include free Wi‑Fi, in-room espresso/tea (included in resort charge) and in-room dining.
  • Many rooms provide valley or golf-course views; several penthouses and suites for larger or luxury stays.

Ojai is better if you want many room categories and larger-suite choices on a resort campus.

Cliff House is a compact property with most rooms targeted to ocean views rather than variety.

Dining & drinks: multiple signature venues vs. beachfront simplicity

Ojai Valley Inn – Dining & drinks

Ojai Valley Inn runs six distinct dining venues from casual to fine dining.

  • No on-site spa is published in the supplier listing.
  • Evenings are typically spent at the beachfront restaurant or exploring nearby Ventura and Carpinteria nightlife.
