Su Nido Inn

Su Nido is located just a block from the Ojai Arcade, with plenty of restaurants and shopping, and has a lovely courtyard for taking in the Ojai calm and peacefulness. My suite (Peacock) was comfortable, with a bedroom, living room, and small kitchen in between. Appointments were fine, with a fridge and Keurig coffee machine but no microwave. Pandemic precautions made the pre-check-in more complicated than it could have been, but the staff were very friendly and helpful. The Peacock suite would be good for a couple or small family, but is probably a bit tight for any larger group, as the rooms were quite small. Some minor maintenance problems cropped up, but nothing serious, and I was very comfortable during my stay.

The property is great, and the suite was nice. Service was warm and friendly but requiref some phone calls for clarification and to receive some missing items. This was due to their Covid protocol. The big problem is that they have some upstairs rooms and they assigned one to a family with two very young kids, who do what kids do. In my case at 6am there was a continuous loud pounding from the ceiling due to a kid running back and forth. So even though the room was nice, the overall experience was no better than the average motel, and this was for over $400 out the door price. If the upstairs room happened to be all they had which could sleep that number, then it was bad luck. But if they gave the room to that family knowing there were children, and knowing the property has hard floors, then that was dumb.
