Hotel Santa Barbara
All good. Wish the common areas were a bit more up leveled (they are very sparse, carpet is poor). In the room, the bathroom slider door lends itself to being a petri-dish based on having hands all over the door to make it open/close.

Ojai Valley Inn
I think the property is nice and to my standards, the only thing that went wrong was the first night we couldn't get hot water but the next day they fixed the problem.
