I booked into the hotel as I was attending a two day seminar that was to be held there. I had read a few reviews on Trip Advisor and was cautious about staying at the hotel. I called up and told the hotel about the reviews. They said that they would book me into a nice room so I went... More

This hotel is very tired. The Lobby is attractive and when it was new it must have been a lovely place to stay. Now it is badly in need of a refit. Spongy bed, out of date bathroom and slightly grimy air made us glad we only had to stay one night. Its location, close to the centre of this... More

It is a quaint place. Out of the ordinary. You are staying in a place of history! And it felt like we were in a garden. Yes th eice machine did not work but that is trivial. The front desk staff was helpfull on every occasion that I asked a question. Everything is close and convenient. A big hand to... More

One ice machine on property, but no ice in it. Front desk indifferent on thtee occasions. Got wake up call at 5 am, which we did not ask for. Room faced parking lot... More

When I checked in, the room I was assigned was not ready. The door was open, patio door open, desk chair up on the bed, bedspread in disarray, alarm clock blinking. Got it all sorted out, but it was a sign of things to come. The bed's bottom sheet was too small and pulled up exposing the old, lumpy mattress.... More

I stayed here for 2 nights in October, 2011. Although the staff were very pleasant and helpful, the room was quite shabby. The french doors to the private patio would not lock, one of the windows would not close, the fireplace was "out of order", the TV had terrible reception, the bed was lumpy and the bedding was not at...

The location couldn't be better...right around the corner from the Mission and in the Old Town area. The rooms leave much to be desired...very "tired"...in desperate need of updating. The continental breakfast is a joke and we had an issue with the "wine and cheese" as well but did get it sorted out. The WiFi in the lobby was very... More

My husband and I stayed in this hotel for 1 night. When we called to make reservations, the young woman said they have wine & cheese every night 5-7. We arrived at the hotel around 6. There was not any wine or cheese or would there be. The young lady informed us that in the morning they provide a full... More

I spent one night here, and the staff were absolutely wonderful. Sarah and Sue on reception, Carolina making eggs [just like in her native Peru]. They each went out of their way to help. Lovely room, with comfy bed. Friendly owner around much of the time - it makes a difference! Great hot tub too Ignore the horrible comment -... More

The historical nature of the Inn was enjoyable, and the old Ventura location was interesting, with beach, main street shops, art museum, mission and city hall, restaurants, and the pier within easy walking distance. The rooms were dated with no safes, wifi, fridge but did have nice gas fireplace, deck, working heat/AC controls and my room was clean. No WiFi... More
