    Outdated

    Old hotel, no restaurant. Staff was friendly though. Bed okay. Needs remodeling.

    Excessive pet fee

    I didn't see the ridiculous $100 pet fee before I checked out. I won't stay there again. It was not worth the price.

    Perfect for my dog

    The he location was good, near the beach. And the room was located where we didn’t hear a million footsteps so he never barked.

    My How The Mighty Have Fallen

    What was once an icon of hostelry appears to have fallen on hard times. While its architecture remains impressive the amenities are minimal. Dogs are tolerated but no extras are provided. A one night stay comes with a $100 pet fee (with added tax). Won't be staying there again.

    Great location

    I loved being so close to the beach. There is freeway noise but tolerable for me. They were helpful when changing some things and I appreciated that. Breakfast was nice to have also. Would stay again.

    Great Vacation

    Wonderful hotel and about the most perfect mattress ever. My puppies were very well received and loved the beach, which was right across the street from the hotel. Will definitely stay there again.

    Fabulous pet friendly location

    We very much enjoyed our stay at the Pierpont Inn. They were busy so be sure to book ahead. The gardens were magnificent, staff very friendly. Although a little overworked, additional staff might help during the busy times.

    Great Location

    $85 pet fee on top of the room charge was a bit pricey. Updated rooms and close to the beach. Beware that the Inn is right next to a loud freeway.

    Good Location

    Plenty of grassy areas for pets to potty. Love the fire place in the room. Bed was comfy. Walls are thin and we had noisy neighbors so dogs barked throughout the night and kept us up. Close to a delicious restaurant called Cafe Neuvou. Walk to beach. Corky and old school. No welcoming bag for pups and pet fee is a bit hefty unless you're staying for a while.

    Craftsman gem with beautiful gardens

    I stayed overnight for a short getaway with my big 75 lb dog and could not have had a more wonderful time. The hotel's grounds are beautifully maintained, with a profusion of roses at this time of year. They are a delight to walk through, to sit on the benches discreetly scattered around the lawns. Best of all, they are free of dog poop despite the fact that this is a dog-friendly hotel, because dogs are given their own bit of lawn to pee and poop on! The front desk, Gary and Stefan, were welcoming and cheerful, going out of their way to be helpful. Breakfast (free with a BringFido booking) at the hotel's in-house restaurant, Austen's, was unexpectedly delicious, many cuts above standard breakfast buffet quality. The soft scrambled eggs were done to perfection, with sausages that were closer to fat bratwurst than hard skinny link sausages. The outdoor patio where guests with dogs can dine is covered, has a lovely view of lawn and roses, and looks out upon Anacapa Island. The waitress Diane, like the front desk, gave outstanding service, accommodating a change of items on my plate with ease and good humor. The room itself was nicely updated, clean and well-outfitted with amenities, upscale linens and a very comfortable firm mattress. Finally, the location of the hotel was perfect for me - right by a section of dog-friendly beach and a short walk to the Ventura Pier which my dog loved exploring. The only caveat: ask for a hotel room that does NOT have an ocean view. The reason is that the ocean view comes with noise from the busy roadway that runs along the beach. My first room was on the second floor facing the ocean, and i knew immediately I wouldn't be able to sleep there. Stefan graciously and immediately changed my room to one facing the pool on the first floor, away from the highway. Since the pool closes at 9 pm and this was a Tuesday night, I knew I would not be bothered by pool parties. I was right - I had a wonderful sleep and so did my dog! If you enjoy walking, go out the short roadway by the Rose Cottage, and turn right on the next road. It curves off below tall trees, above the tennis courts and alongside private homes. Lovely. I you like hiking, take the ten-minute drive to Arroyo Verde Park. The first large grassy area is off-leash but all the trails are on-leash, as is the back area. Beautiful trails going on gentle upgrades through profusions of wild flowers. I live in Los Angeles, so this is an easy hour and a half getaway with my dog, and I look forward to coming again. Pricing is best mid-week and off-season, of course.

    Cute cottage!

    We stayed in one of the freestanding historic cottages (the smaller one) which was adorable. It was probably slightly bigger than the average room. It had a private patio, however it wasn't enclosed so the dogs couldn't be off leash but it was nice to have privacy. The property itself was very pretty, but they are very particular about where to potty your dog, which was on the other side of the property from where we were staying. It's kind of hard to tell your old dog to hold it until while passing many grassy areas to get to the right grassy area. They let us bring our dogs on the patio at the restaurant, which was very good, a bit on the pricey side but there is a bar menu with less expensive choices as well. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
