We stayed here by recommendation of our niece who lives in Ventura. We booked a suite, which was huge, with a regular kitchen and separate dining room/parlor. Unfortunately, as another reviewer mentioned, the air conditioner/heaters were quite loud (mounted in the outside wall). This worked to our advantage, since our room was directly above the freeway. After driving for 6... more

I'm currently staying at the hotel, so the first plus is that the internet works. This is very important. I booked the room for a business related stay, so I wasn't expecting luxury. I expected a bit better than this though. The heater/air conditioner is way too loud. So loud that I've opted out of even running it, and it's... more

Jan 28, 2008 We enjoyed Ventura for 4-days. Country Inn & Suites met our needs, for it's central location and price. Some TLC would make it more pleasant. The entrance is clean, inviting and cozy. The staff were professional. Once you leave the lobby, the need for some TLC becomes obvious with peeling wallpaper, chipped paint and scarred furniture. We... more

This hotel/motel was a wonderful surprise after reading other's reviews I was worried about the location. It sits on the highway so I requested a room on the other side. I did not hear any traffiic . The location is great if you are visiting downtown Ventura or the beach. It is within walking distance of both. The room is... more

We got two rooms for Friday night via Priceline. As the hotel is located right by the freeway and train, I hoped we'd have a peaceful night. We arrived at 2:30 to check in and she quickly gave us keys and was very pleasant. We had two rooms, each non-smoking w/two queen beds on the first floor and fairly close... more

I didn't expect to like this hotel as we were forced into it when everything in Santa Barbara was sold out. I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms are very large, bathrooms were acceptable, and location turned out better than expected. The Country Inn & Suites is literally right on the 101 freeway in Ventura, be sure to ask for a... more

For some reason I was expecting much worse but I found the Ventura Country Inn to be a totally acceptable hotel for the Ventura area. Check-in was easy and pleasant. I asked for a room not facing the freeway and was accomodated with no problem. The room was a nice size and had a really comfortable lounger-type chair. The bathroom... more

Not knowing the Santa Barbara area, we chose this hotel as it was the only Saturday night vacancy in a 50 mile radius. We were very disappointed that the hotel was right next to the freeway, the pool was not usable because of the loud traffic noise. The hotel was shabby, the rooms very large but musty smelling and borderline... more

We stay at Country Inns whenever possible, but this one was not up to the normal standards. As many reviews state, its location next to the 101 and a railroad is not ideal. You can walk to the beach, but you must go through a half torn down steel gate, over an active railroad track with lots of rocks and... more

We stayed at this hotel for one night. The location was very convenient - walking distance to the pier and walkways along the ocean, as well as walking distance to the old town with many restaurant choices. It is an older hotel - typical Country Inn and Suites configuration and decor. The room was very large with two queen beds.... more
