Casa Ojai Inn Dog Friendly Review
Casa Ojai Inn holds a disappointing D Roch Rank, which is a shame given how warmly it otherwise welcomes dogs. Your dog is welcome on the patio while attended, and he is more than welcome to join you in the lobby lounge too. There is a lovely central garden on the property where he can go to the toilet, and the hotel highlights that there are plenty of dog friendly places around Ojai, with the Ojai Valley Bike Trail just a few blocks away and Soule Park Dog Park nearby. There is no weight or size limit, so dogs of any size are accepted.
Day to day, the practicalities are straightforward and reasonably generous. The hotel supplies poop bags for convenience, and shares its dog waiver with guests before booking so you know what to expect. If your dog is in a crate, he can stay in the room unattended, which gives some flexibility around your plans. The dog fee is $39.00 for the stay, and there is no damage deposit required unless you are placed in a non dog friendly room. You may bring up to two dogs per room, and between the patio, the lounge and the central garden there are several places on site where your dog can settle or go potty.
The main restriction to plan around is that only the patio rooms are dog friendly, so your choice of room will be limited from the outset. The hotel does not provide a dog bed, bowls, dog food, toys, a dog wash area or a dog walking service, and it cannot arrange grooming or a sitter, so you will need to bring your own kit and make your own arrangements for anything beyond basic accommodation. Dogs are not allowed in the bar or restaurant either. This suits an independent owner with a crate trained, self sufficient dog who is happy to use the garden and patio and explore the trail and dog park nearby. Owners wanting on-site extras like grooming, a dog menu or a dedicated play area should look elsewhere.
