This hotel was not accommodating very rude. Stop and didn’t even offer a late check out. Additionally, I asked for an extra roll and slippers. That’s complementary to the room for guest stay of two and they only gave me one row and couldn’t accommodate for the second will not be staying here in the future.

AVOID

This hotel says all non-smoking rooms. Our room had a distinct smell of cigarette smoke, which seemed to be embedded everywhere. It was difficult to sleep because the room felt so toxic. The carpets were dirty in the hallway and outside the elevator. This entire hotel felt dirty everywhere we walked. The TV had channel numbers on the Guide with no description of what actually was on the channel so that was frustrating as well. The TV indicated it was a smart TV and could link to your phone yet when we checked with the front desk, the front desk said, unless you have an HDMI cable you would not be able to access that feature so that was misleading as well because The TV stated it was capable for a wireless connection. This is an old hotel, which has been refurbished somewhat, but the rooms still have The old type wall furnace, which is noisy. There is no thermostat in the room on the wall. We would never stay here again. It felt creepy to us.

Would not stay again. Room was feet from the freeway. Room smelled very badly of weed. Asked front desk for air freshener and was brushed off as they didn’t care. Power went out at 11pm. No notification from front desk on what was happening or what to expect. Took a cold shower in the morning because power was still off and checked out a day early

Good find right next to the beach.

Very clean and comfortable. Service desk was polite and cheerful. Water wasn't quite hot enough, but worked and could hear freeway noise. Had a view of the ocean and pier. Breakfast was good and again the staff assisted to serve and were extremely friendly and polite. Would stay here again!

I drove 8 hours to stay there for 1 night. Had an event to be at a couple hours after getting there. Was informed there was no power. It had been off since previous night & wasn’t expected to come back on until the next morning. WTH? No one called me at any time to let me know what was going on. Very unacceptable. Girl at desk had just gotten there & there was no manager on duty. She really didn’t know what to say other than, do you want to go somewhere else. I’d never been to Ventura. Needed a shower etc. & to get ready for event coming up shortly but couldn’t. No hot water,dark in there etc. Needless to say it was bad. When I left this morning they said I could call tomorrow when the manager comes in 11-6. Really? There was no one in charge to do something on the spot such as a refund? This place had a lot of good reviews which is why I decided on it. No they didn’t make the electricity go out & I have no clue what was going on(didn’t pay electric bill perhaps) but I can’t recommend staying there.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel is well designed and we appreciated the included breakfast. However - there are some major cons to this location. Hot tub was broken the whole time we were there and the power went out during the last night. The west side of the building has horrible highway noise. If you stay here ask to be on the east side of the hotel.

This hotel is spacious and comfortable. I don’t agree with other reviewers that breakfast was great. It was just like most places serving free breakfast. The eggs weren’t real. It was expensive for what it was and the balconies aren’t balconies.

This hotel was so clean and smelled amazing. Even the bath towels smelled so fresh! The breakfast was a huge bonus, and just a short walk to the downtown shop’s & restaurants. It is on the other side of the freeway so there is no beach view, but for the price I’d book again.
