If you want a great place for socializing over dinner for family reunions or with groups of friends this place is great. The dinning room is cozy and separated from great room that has ample seating with sofas, love seats, bench seats, and lounge chairs nicely arranged. Its also a historic landmark that has for many years said to be haunted.

I REALLY wanted to like this hotel ; I grew up in the area and was looking forward to it . The front courtyard is nicely kept . The lobby area is lovely , but who really hangs around in a hotel lobby all the time ? The parking lot is VERY badly lighted at night . My room was very dusty - there was a THICK layer of dust on the top of the draperies , and when I accidentally dropped a pillow into the crevice between the bed and the wall , the pillow came back up covered with dirt/hair ! There is a 6"step up into each bathroom , with no reflective tape to keep you from stumbling during the night ; there IS a plaque on the wall warning you about it , but who looks UP when you are trying to navigate an unfamiliar place ? The toilet is inexplicably raised another 2" above the rest of the bathroom , again an area of potential injury. The sink was SO SLOW to drain that it was practically unusable. The TV did not work , and I tried several times to figure out that remote with no luck. There are no in-room phones , and frequently the posted phone number on the website was simply not picked up by the staff ! This required ANOTHER trip down the staircase to ask any questions or get help with an issue, and after long days spent going out to visit friends and family I simply didnt have the energy to pursue it ! The restaurant is hardly ever open , and I didnt see ANY evidence of basic things , like just a continental breakfast or decent snacks . For the money , I was expecting MORE .

Lovely old hotel, beds too soft for our taste (but that's us), bathroom small (but appropriate for hotel age). Reminded us of a hotel our family used to own. Pleasant and helpful staff. Definitely would recommend and probably would stay again.

The Glen Tavern is an excellent option for a stay in the Santa Paula area. The attached restaurant and bar Enzo's is very good though we didn't get a chance to eat there this time around since the children were with us and they wanted pizza instead. The lobby is very peaceful and atmospheric, so much so that my wife and I spent an hour reading and talking in one of the sitting areas there just because it was so pleasant. The outdoor gazebo area is also a great place to take the kids in the evening once things start cooling off. There are date palms there and comfortable wooden rocking chairs and it is rarely crowded.
