Centered in the heart of Downtown Ventura, the Clocktower Inn is a very short & easy walk to shopping, restaurants, etc. Staff is courteous & helpful & the hotel fees are very reasonable for its location.

We love the Clocktower Inn and stay there fairly regularly. We love the access to downtown Mainstreet and we go for the Downtown 10 movie theater often when we’re here. It’s an older property with limited amenities, so nothing fancy at all, bite comfy. We like the second floor esp. Room 222 overlooking the park when we can get it. Unfortunately, when booking on Expedia, we don’t get the room shown in the ad. Don’t know why. I’ve even called the hotel and tried to request our favorite room for a specific date and was told they could book a specific room. Oh well. Anyway, we’re happy campers.

We loved this place! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The lobby is very inviting, there was even a fire burning in the fireplace! ❤️ We had a ground floor room with a little patio, which was nice. The bed was comfortable, and a king, which was nice. The hot tub is amazing! Super powerful jets, great back massage. Breakfast on the weekend had delicious sausages, very tasty country potatoes, and some fake looking scrambled eggs, (I skipped those,) as well as the regular weekday continental breakfast fare they offer. There was also a waffle maker, even on weekdays 😋 There were 2 minor disappointments with the room- we didn't get all our coffee supplies replenished daily (like cups, creamer and sugar,); and the bed is layers of flat sheets with one blanket between and it does not stay together. The bottom sheet doesn't even fully tuck in around it. It's a little annoying. Nothing that would keep us from returning, though. The location is great! It's easy walking distance to a bunch of fun shops and restaurants. It's also next to a lovely park, so be prepared for the fun and colorful crowds that parks attract. We will definitely be coming back!!

Very disappointed. Photos are a fiction.
Was very disappointed. The photos look nothing like the property. I have no idea why the rating is so high. The staff were nice, but the property is very old & shabby. Chipped paint, stained curtains, plastic peeling off the mini fridge. Hallways are dark and grimy. Room was clean but definitely didn’t feel like a fun place to stay on vacation.

Check in
Close to a business function. There was not enough available parking. Had to park in the street. First receptionist was sharing her life story with the person checking in front of me. Must have been the end of her shift because the second receptionist helped me out immediately.
