For the location, price, and property it’s a great hotel. What I enjoyed most was they allowed us to check in early, breakfast hours 7-1030 give you enough time, and complimentary snacks 5-7. Downtown Ventura is just a walk away as well as Ventura pier.

Room was clean. Parking was free and a parking garage is available with an elevator that goes directly to the floor your room is on. Complimentary breakfast is offered and included chilaquiles and breakfast burritos along with the usual continental breakfast items. It was the best continental breakfast i’ve had and worth returning for.

Great location, walkable to lots of restaurants and stores, as well as walkable to the pier. Highway noise is the only downside. It was also an easy drive to the Ventura Harbor where we were catching a boat to go diving. Overall checks all the boxes for a comfortable stay and I thought the price was pretty reasonable.

Nice size room! Bed was comfortable & everything clean. Employees were gracious. Breakfast was excellent! Only problem was the window shade kept breaking. Was fixed quickly, the 1st time, but broke again the next day. Close to restaurants & beach,
