When we arrived the staff was seating outside on chairs they seemed very laid back enjoying the ocean breeze, since it was a hot day. We had no problem checking in and our room was ready. When we got to our room I very disappointed on how run down the room was, the furniture had a muggy smell and the... more

Two stars because it is on the beach. Otherwise, it is pretty bad. It was actually the dirtiest hotel I've ever stayed in. There was a thick layer of dust on every surface over four feet high and the bathroom was in desperate need of a good scrubbing. The rooms are hideous and covered in pink rose wallpaper that is... more

Loved this place, like others before me- don't be expecting the sterile atmosphere of a chain hotel. We came here on Memorial Day & stayed till Wednesday- quiet & peaceful, helpful & friendly staff. Continental breakfast was costco muffins & pasteries, OJ, & coffee. This place has allot of personality & charm, we sat on the balcony enjoying the ocean-... more

After reading alot of the reviews I was hesitant to stay here. It turned out to be a really cute and cozy hotel, with the feel of a bed-and-breakfast, right on the beach, where I could leave the balcony sliding door open, enjoy the ocean breeze from bed, and listen to the sound of the ocean all night long. (Yes... more

This inn has been recommended to me by a good friend. She and her husband visit the inn at least twice a year. I've always hesitated because of the reviews. I finally succumbed and now I understand why the bad reviews. I honestly think that people give bad reviews to keep people away from this gem of an inn. I... more

My husband and I wanted to get away for a few days, and Ventura is only 1 1/2 hours away. We were booked at the Sheraton, but took a wrong turn and ended up on this side street right by the beach -- a real "surfer" neighborhood, with a wonderful tiny Mexican restaurant, the best coffee at "Full of Beans,"... more

I booked this hotel based on an article from a Sunset magazine from 2006. Just prior to the trip I read several reviews from Trip Advisor that made me want to cancel, however, I'm glad I went. Yes, the handles were missing from the sink and I had to use my fingernails to pull out the nob in the shower,... more

is the only good thing about this hotel. The carpet was so dirty I was afraid to walk around my room in bare feet!!!! The black mold on the shower curtain was sickening. There were holes in the bathroom towels, and no handles on the sink faucets to turn the water on and off!! To take a shower you had... more

Ventura: The Inn On The Beach, could be a jewel of a place if only the property were cared for. We found the carpets in the hallways and the room itself to be old, run down and dirty, all windows in the hotel were dirty. Wallpaper in areas was torn and dirty, molding missing from around windows and window sills... more
