We were on vacation just after Christmas in 2011. I think our room number was 317 or 307? Terrible awful room. Last one on the parking lot side down by the elevator, third floor. By the way, the room numbers are written in Sharpie on tape on each door. That should've been my first clue, as if the torn up,... More

This used to be a really nice place to stay. I love being right on the beach. When it was remodeled several years ago, it was beautiful. Fireplaces put in. Will never stay there again. My room (307:$200) had a great view, but it was not worth the dirty room. Bathroom door was just filthy. Did not want to touch... More

We enjoyed the Labor Day weekend in beautiful Ventura attending the Ventura National Car Show, exploring the city & playing on the beach. The rooms were clean, the staff was helpful & the location was awesome. There are several restaurants within walking distance as well as a grocery store. It has the beach culture atmosphere, but the rooms are clean... More

I can't believe this place hasn't been shut down, dirty rooms, broken bed, broken bathroom vanity, broken tiles on the fire place, I was frighten to sleep. Not to mention the bed was soooo uncomfortable. The place is creepy like they could film a horror movie. If you feel that having homeless people sleeping right next to the hotel then... More

California is different in every way and beach hotels are no exception. Having grown up in the central valley and having had many beach vacations in this area as a teen, I already knew what to expect. But also being a world bussiness traveler as an adult I can also easily see someones disactisfaction with your average Central California beach... More

This place was great! The location and clean rooms overshadow all the negative reviews I have seen. And the price is very fair. Staff was extra friendly. Several weeks after we left I needed a detailed copy of my receipt for company travel and they were very eager to help. More

The rooms are right on the beach with fantastic views of the ocean. Rooms show a little wear but are clean and comfortable. More

I came across a recommendation for this hotel while researching the Marriott a couple blocks away. There were some scary reviews, that gave me pause, but took it with a grain of salt because they had the smell of habitual complainers. Booked on line with hotel site, and called the next day to confirm, only to find that the computer... More

Having read the majority of the reviews,albeit bad and good my wife and I decided to give it try. Location was awesome, the day staff was friendly and helpful, however what made the trip special was the night staff lady with a pretty name that seems to slip both our minds. She was charming assertive, and engaging, the restaurants she... More

I cant for the life of me understand all the scathing reviews of this place. I, my girlfriend and my two kids stayed here and we absolutely LOVED it. It really made out July 4th weekend. I had no complaints because i pretty much figured that an older beach town like Ventura would have hotels that were pretty much on... More
