Great location and good nights sleep

Excellent location and the service wa great. The towels felt clean and soft as well as the bed. There was a spot missed when cleaning though as there was clothing left behind from the previous guest. As a solo traveler the large peep hole in the door didn't make me feel too comfortable as well as not having a front desk person overnight. Overall though it was a great night's sleep.

Stay away!!!!

The hotel charged my debit card for my room the day before we checked in. I chose this hotel because it said reserve now, pay later. I was going to pay at the hotel on the day of check in and did not consent to paying a day early. I have done this reserve now pay later with other hotels and have had no issue. Also, they charged my credit card $25 for nothing a few days after we checked out. We literally stayed the night, and did not have any of the free breakfast, the hotel room was perfectly intact as we had first come to it when we first checked in. This has never happened before to us with any other hotels. It definitely ruined our anniversary stay and left me feeling frustrated and like they had stolen from us. Stay far away. Definitely shady. You call the office and no one ever answers. When I had hotels.com try to call them they couldn’t not contact them either and told me to keep trying to no avail. Do not stay here. Also no one is ever at the front desk. When we checked out there was just a basket that said leave keys here.

Overall, our stay was very comfortable. Our room was very spacious and clean. I did not like that the sink was in the common area outside of the bathroom, but we made due. The bathroom also needed a few minor upgrades. The hotel staff was very friendly but was often not at the front counter. The hotel is close enough to restaurants and shops that you can walk to, but not too close to hear a lot of foot traffic.

Terrible experience. Lobby was locked upon 6pm arrival. We had to wait almost 2hrs for return of clerk. There was an emergency key in plain view that gave access to EVERY room. Had to coordinate with Expedia to even be given a room as we were told they sold out upon check in (I had a prepaid reservation for months) Had to find other accommodations due to safety and cleanliness concerns.

We booked to stay at this property for a two day weekend in Ojai. When we arrived, they gave us a room that we didn’t book and what was even worse was the overwhelming smell of chemicals, specifically bleach when walked into the room. The smell was so strong that we immediately checked out. The young man at the front desk was unable to help us, tear the manager would not call us back in fact we tried two times to speak to her and then when I finally did get to speak to her a week later because I initiate the call she said I was harassing her. There is nothing charming or rustic about Chantico inn. It is old, poorly run and I would not recommend it at all. I tried to have a reasonable and rational conversation with Tia and I can show you text messages from her to Corporate what I’ve said. But she was very rude and was yelling at me on the phone. I reported this to Expedia and will also follow up with my credit card company.
