Blue Iguana Inn

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Iguana Inn. The room was so clean and spacious. We can’t wait to be back.

Kind staff and the room was perfect for our family of three. We had a lovely stay and will likely be back.

Hotel grounds are nicely designed and well-maintained, room was clean and spacious, but overall the stay was noisy and not restful. There is a busy main road just in front of the hotel, so inside the room and all across the complex you hear constant traffic/car noise until about 11 pm, starting up again around 6:30 am; also there is a well-used pool and hot tub spa, so fair amount of sound from that during the day & evening travels across the complex and can be heard in the room (though maybe that’s more summertime with more families vacationing?). The hot-tub and pool are decorated nicely, but you do hear the road noise as background while hanging out there. Note that the hotel is 2 miles from downtown, and although there is the Ojai Valley trail across the road from the hotel, that trail is alongside the busy road so not really a pleasant stroll to get into town for the restaurants and shops. At the hotel, the staff at registration and at checkout seemed prickly and indifferent (or maybe just tired of dealing with summer tourists?). Not the warm vibe we’d expected for a first visit to Ojai and for a hotel with such a cool name & room decor. It is a good hotel overall if your plan is mainly just to shower & sleep and then motor out to other sites around town during the rest of the day.
