Peace, Relaxation and Staying Connected

Guests come to stay at the Ojai Retreat — the hilltop inn with its spectacular views, lush gardens and peaceful ambience — to get away from it all.

But not entirely. It turns out that many guests want wireless access in their rooms so they can connect to the Internet with their laptop computers.

Easier said than done. Trying to install a working wireless access system in the inn’s rooms and cottages had proven to be an elusive, often frustrating challenge. Admittedly, the job presented several complicating factors: buildings at different elevations and abundant trees and bushes that interfered with the power signal.
