Santa Paula Inn - Santa Paula, California

Patty

We really enjoyed our stay at the Santa Paula Inn. This boutique hotel is so cute. Built in 1920, so it has lots of character. Regardless of the age, our room, a double queen suite, had new floor tile and the bathroom was new. The room was clean and nicely appointed. Our room had a wet bar, compact refrigerator and microwave. The location of this hotel is ideal. It's right off Main street, in a very walkable area behind a new cider establishment, Anna's Cider. After dinner we walked over from our room to enjoy live music. I really enjoyed the local art work in the hotel, the owner even had some beautiful pieces he made. I will definitely return to this hotel.

Santa Paula is such a beautiful place.. no need to go anywhere else... this town has charm and beauty of most others . I love the diversity and feel. The Santa Paula Inn is a historic treasure, it's so beautiful indoor and outdoors with its little sitting areas,in back. Peaceful and relaxing.. the check in and out was a breeze and the woman at the front desk was a blessing to meet . I LOVE THE SANTA PAULA INN. THANK YOU STAFF.

Super charming hotel! It's in a historic building, so it feels more like a B&B, which was a pleasant surprise!

Private lot for guest parking, secure keypad entry, & actual keys for the rooms themselves (lovely old-school nostalgic touch.)

Rooms are unique because of the architecture & updated with modern amenities, so you get the best of both worlds. Clean, well cared for. Daily linens on request and comfortable beds.

Complimentary continental breakfast & a picturesque courtyard to enjoy it. Close to everything but away from it all! Walking distance from a number of restaurants, shops, cafes, & more.

Lively nightlife in the area even though it's a small place. Super convenient to everything Ventura has to offer.

A hidden treasure & somewhere I've bookmarked for future visits.

What happened to this charming, magical place?

I don’t even know where to begin with the Santa Paula Inn. We have stayed here multiple times in the past and have always loved the comfy, charming atmosphere. That Santa Paula Inn no longer exists. This place somehow managed to go from a quaint squeaky clean little spot just steps away from Main Street that offered a huge breakfast and original and cozy aesthetics, to an outright filthy money pit. Our room was out right disgusting, there was dirt EVERYWHERE from the windows to the walls. We thought the windows were fogged up, no they were straight covered in filth. The corners of the room and electronics were covered in grime and there was standing water in our shower the entire time we stayed here. The full breakfast, a mainstay staple every time we visited in the past, has been replaced with a coffee pot with dry creamer and Splenda packets, and there is no one ever managing the office.
What happened to this charming, magical place? What happened to the friendly owners who took pride in providing great hospitality and service, roaming the halls asking how your stay went or what you thought of the breakfast, if you needed anything for your room or stay? It doesn’t’ exist anymore, it’s been replaced with cheaper thrift store aesthetics and owners that do not want to be seen or interacted with, and surely do not want to help.
This place has turned into a HUGE disappointment and can’t imagine it will last much longer. A bustling fun loving stay that was always packed was quiet, empty, and filthy. And that’s just what we CAN see I can only imagine how much worse it actually is. Not worth your time or money.

Quiet nice cozy bargain travellers' dream. Rooms newly updated, and clean. Has free small breakfast. Nothing fancy. Food and drinks nearby. Very nice for a stopover.

Atul was very accomodating. We had an issue with our AC, so he immediately got us moved to another room that was bigger, no charge. The place was charming amd quiet. Extremely clean. New renovations. We had a great time and would come back again.

Ana, who was the room service lady was beyond nice to us and always checked up on us to make sure we were all set. It’s right next to the main street which is a super cute walk, the rooms were massive which was perfect for us because we were staying for the week and needed space for our stuff, the owner was also really nice to us. Overall very pleased with our stay.

The Santa Paula Inn was a pleasant little discovery. While it lacks a swimming pool, it is a great place to stay if you like early 20th century architecture. Despite its age, however, the Inn has modern, sanitary upgrades like smooth, wood-look tile floors and nice showers. The owner was also friendly and professional, and the Inn is within walking distance of Main Street and the excellent Rabelais restaurant. Well-priced at around $120 a night.
