I was very surprised at the value of this hotel. Not only was it one of the least expensive rooms available in the area for a decent hotel, but the full hot breakfast and managers receiption were nice extras. It is true that the rooms on the third floor smell like stale smoke, so if you don't smoke, don't stay... More

Underground parking was a nice surprise pulling into the Country Inn & Suites. Only stayed here 8 or 9 hours during a business weekend, but everything seemed fine. Small problem with the complimentary breakfast (6am-10am) was that there was no "on-the-go" option (I wanted a muffin and juice to go). Room was nice and big (rm 212), single queen, but... More

After viewing the ratings for this hotel I was expecing it to be nicer. It's not horrible, just OK .Do make sure you ask for a room away from the freeway & train tracks. The pool area is by the freeway and very loud.We did get a low rate but had to prepay to get it. We won't be staying... More

Stayed 2 nights in large and extremely clean and comfortable room. Staff helpful and friendly, breakfast very good and managers evening reception welcome. Parking is in garage below hotel. Revitalised downtown, beach and pier all within easy walking distance. Would choose this hotel again if staying in the area.

My husband and I spent 2 nights here to celebrate his 40th birthday. The hotel is very nice and I liked the fact that it's situated so close to the downtown area. There is a freeway and train directly next to the hotel, which can be loud, but I feel that we got a great deal for the price. The... More

My husband, two children and I recently spent a night here and thoroughly enjoyed it. The room was very spacious and comfortable and we didn't notice any excessive noise. The buffet breakfast was wonderful. I would definitely stay here again!

We, my husband and I, were in Ventura on business. We checked in 3-2-04 room 331 on third floor. If your not a smoker don't stay on that floor.The horrific smell of cigarette smoke filled the entire floor. Between a candle and a bottle of perfume I could not kill the stinch. Also, the tub in that room did not... More

My family has stayed at the Country Inn every year for the last six or seven years when we come to Ventura to visit family. The rooms are very large, extremely clean and very comfortable. The staff is friendly and the pool and hot tub are great! The free breakfast buffet certainly helps in our vacation budget and we love... More

Trains and freeway traffic. What else does one need to say? It's a nice, cheap motel, but if you're awake all night even an amazing breakfast (which this one isn't) wouldn't taste good.

My sister & I found this to be a great place to stay. Our room was clean and located on the north side of the building. The pillows were thick and spongy & the beds quite comfortable. The complimentary breakfast came with a friendly chef ready to prepare and dish up bacon, eggs, hash brown potatoes, gravy etc. Can't wait... More
