I booked the multi-room suite, which was spacious and well-maintained. However, I was not informed that the suite was located near Ventura Hwy 101 and the train tracks. The constant noise from highway traffic and passing trains, including frequent horns, made it challenging to sleep. I ultimately had to move to the quieter room within the suite. Additionally, the air conditioning emitted an odor resembling urine, which was unpleasant. That said, I do want to note that the property overall, as well as the suite, was very clean.

We had a hard time finding a simple cup of ice. Also no lotion in the room, instead had one small container of conditioner beside the sink while there was already conditioner in the shower…seemed random. Mold in areas of the shower, and it leaked out if a seam onto the bathroom floor soaking the mat.

Clean and spacious

Amazing room, clean and spacious, the beds were made each day, free coffee maker and refrigerator. The self service washing machine and dryer was very useful. The hotel was well situated for East Main Street, Botanical Gardens and the beaches. There were parking spaces. The morning breakfastsvwere tasty.

We got to the hotel in the early morning intending to leave our luggage so we can roam around without having to worry, luckily enough the front desk staff Gabriel was able to check us in earlier than expected! Our room was nice and clean, the balcony was fully covered but after a few hours it made sense why, we were facing the freeway and it does tend to get really loud. Breakfast was great, simple options, eggs, bacon, sausage etc. TV channel selections were more than what you’d get at any luxury hotel. Shampoo and conditioner along with body wash was provided in case you forget your own supply. Beds were comfortable, pillows were also comfortable. AC units were working perfectly. We had a view of Ventura pier so that was a plus. Elevator is quick and goes from top floor down to the garage, the area is safe and walkable eateries. Weekends seem to be more lively there in that area, live bands, etc. 101 Fwy entrances are just outside the hotel (literally). Would absolutely book this place again!

A Great Place To Stay!

This is my favorite hotel in Ventura. They consistently deliver clean comfortable rooms at reasonable prices. The water facing rooms do experience a lot of road noise, so if that bothers you, ask for a city view room. The location is superior! Lots of shops, restaurants and bistros within an easy walk.
