    A fun weekend biking in Santa Paula, Ventura and Ojai.

    I think we had one of the older rooms that had not yet been refurbished. The carpet was old and stained and the shower was dismal. Maybe from the 70's? That bathroom was marginal at best. I did glance into some of the other rooms that looked much more updated. And for some reason, the tap water had a metal taste. Very bad! Drink only bottled water there. Also, there is no breakfast offered but an amazing Italian restaurant onsite.

    The hotel staff was very nice. I had made a request to have a downstairs room because we were bringing our bikes with us. They were not able to give us a downstairs room, but did allow us to store our bikes in the event center that was not being used that weekend. That was super helpful to us! The hotel has a lot of character and history and we enjoyed learning about that. The bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet even when the hotel was full. The air conditioner worked great too. The hotel is located across the street from the old train station, so we enjoyed pedaling the railbikes through the orange groves on the old railroad. We love anything bike oriented.

    The rooms were nice and big, but our bed in particular was so soft we had very uncomfortable nights sleeping. The mattress folded in when you sat in it so sleeping wasn’t easy. Also our room had a layer of dust on top of all the light fixtures frames and door ways, it could have had a good wipe down

    Glen Tavern Inn was a great place to stay. The staff were all very friendly, the restaurant and food were amazing and the little bar had a great Happy Hour. A fun experience

    Beautiful historic Hotel built in 1911, very charming. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and pretty good size.

    Loved the dinner choices and the meals were delicious. Also having a pianist playing next to our table was a special treat The staff when we checked in were just so personable and helpful. Loved that we could play cards right in front of the fireplace. We sure enjoyed celebrating our 39th Anniversary there.

    A nice historic hotel in the center of small town Santa Paula. We particularly enjoyed talking to the bartender, an experience of its own. The room was nice and tidy. The area is clean and safe.

    As with any old building, there are some quirks. But nothing to hamper our enjoyment of this lovely inn.

    A historic inn, beautiful and fascinating inside and out. Plus some welcome modern conveniences like air conditioning. Our dinner at the on-site Italian restaurant was delicious.

    The parking sign was hard to see when driving and we ended up going past a few times. The curtains in the room also let a lot of light in- need black out curtains.

    We loved the decor in the lobby and corridors. We did take a peek on the 3rd floor as we were in a ground room. Loved the spooky feel but we didn't encounter any ghosts during our stay (thankfully!) The hotel was a short walk from the centre which was good for eating out.

    The small door entrance is at the back of the building near the trash and parking area. The door is locked, so to get in you have to walk around the large lot and building to get to the front entrance which clearly states the entrance is at the back.

    Beds were a bit soft and the bathroom (particularly the shower) was very small.

    The hotel was built in the early 1900's so it had a lot of charm and definitely different than the formulaic designs of today.
