This hotel has access to the harbour- wonderful view from our room balcony on the thrid floor. I highly reccomend staying on the thrid floor. Dinner at the Harbour was great - kids walked around and enjoyed the atmosphere. Morning time we went to downtown and had a wonderful breakfast and shopped all the quaint shops. Best trip in awhile... More

After checking in, this seemed to be a basic hotel with a tiny lobby and no extra services like a pool, fitness center, and hot tub. We only discovered on the second and last day,that we had privileges at the adjoining Four Points by Sheraton. We have stayed at other Holiday Inn Expresses and this location seemed lacking. I would... More

We stayed here for a couple of nights and extended by another night as we enjoyed the location very much. Our room was on the second floor, very large, with a balcony overlooking the marina.

I have come here for a research conference but can certainy recommend this hotel also for leisure travellers. My room was facing the harbor and you can experience a great sunset on the balcony if you are in the room at that our. Rooms are spacious and clean. They have a refrigerator but no safe.

Stayed here for two nights in February. Had a corner room on the 2nd floor with a wrap around balcony. Great views of the harbor. Room was large and very comfortable. Staff was very friendly. Loved that we could walk to the harbor shops and restaurants. Would rather stay at this location rather than right in Ventura. Downtown is only... More

Very good size room and excellent bathroom. All nicely appointed. Nice view of harbor. Problem: smell in room. We were actually given a second room because first room was so bad. Second room not as bad. It seems to relate to the fact the rooms have no windows to open. So the rooms get stale smell. It was the end... More

Well landscaped hotel has a good location between farm fields (and a road) on one side and the small boat harbor on the other. My room was large, with a sofa, comfortable bedding, excellent shower, good bath amenities and an unused space which apparently is for opening up the sofa bed. As promised, it had a harbor view, and even... More

This is the second trip to Ventura this year and both times we have stayed here, but it is definitely time for some major improvements. Obviously the place cannot help its location just across the road from what appears to be a strawberry farm. The very strong odor from the fertilizer used is a huge turnoff. The rooms are clean,...

The frozen, fake "omelet" they provided was just terrible. I doubt there was any real egg or cheese in it - texture and taste was awful. I expect more out of Holiday Inn. They've tacked on a $10/night parking fee since the last time I stayed here. I will look for a different hotel next time I'm in the area.
