This place was great, clean, comfortable, and seemed very new and updated. The staff was friendly and helpful and the breakfast was delicious. Also, there was 24 hour tea and coffee which was nice. We enjoyed the pool (and they provided towels!), but the pool had some small bugs and leaves. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

10/10 stay!! easily one of the best small hotels I've stayed in the southern ca area. the only thing I would recommend is waking up a little early for breakfast as it does get a little crowded after 8am. I would come back to this place 100%

Comfortable and clean

Overall good. Tried for an early check in but couldn’t get into the room until around 11am due to sold out vacancy. Front desk was very helpful and room was clean and comfortable.

Although it is obviously an old motel, the rooms have been very nicely remodeled. Don't judge it by exterior appearances! Great location near downtown Ventura and very walkable, including the pier (over the pedestrian bridge). Parking is free and adequate. Safe neighborhood.

GREAT front desk staff—lovely, cheerful, and had fun music as you check in. The location was SUPREME! It’s walking distance from anything you can need (pier, eateries, park, bars, breweries, shopping). Would definitely stay here again. And frankly, the price was reasonable.
