We loved the room. They have just renovated the rooms so they are excellent. Spacious, clean and everything works. They are renovating the property so we were worried about noise but they were very quiet and did not disturb us at all. We did not know what to expect when we arrived at Ventura after dark and were very pleased with the experience. They do not serve breakfast but there are two very highly rated breakfast place within walking distance. We went to Cafe Nouveau and we liked it a lot. Great outside seating.

Clean and nice service.
For the price, the renovated motel is clean and in a good location. There’s a parking spot in front of your room which I thought was supposed to be for our car but when we got back from dinner it was taken. At 10:00 we wanted to shower but there was no hot water. We called and he did fix the problem so we got to take a luke warm shower within an hour. I would definitely come back if the price stays the same just because of the location and cleanliness but I would want a guaranteed parking spot in front of my room.

We had a wonderful stay. The cafe down the street was terrific. The music hall is beautiful and an easy walk. My only concern is that our room door was left wide open. Here’s what happened, Sunday morning we walked to the cafe for breakfast. When we returned I noticed multiple room doors were open. With the cleaning cart in view I assumed the open doors were for cleaning purposes, no big deal. However, as we approached our room the door was also wide open! All of our belongings were as we left them, thankfully, so we didn’t address it immediately. During our check-out I mentioned my concern to the on-site owner, not in an aggressive or angry way, like I said our belongings were in tact. But he insisted I left the door open and denied the probability that the cleaning person may have mistakenly opened our room. An apology and acknowledgment of error on their part would have sufficed, but he began to become upset so I dropped it, thanked him and left. I’m glad my sneakers weren’t stolen and my girlfriend’s stuff wasn’t missing after our door was opened. The room was clean, but the comforter smelled like mildew when it sits in the washing machine too long. Overall it was a nice place to stay.

Non-assuming motel with easy access to anywhere. Very simple on the outside but quite nice and comfortable inside. The decor is tasteful, shower is large with a rainfall shower head, and very comfortable bed. Has a small fridge and large TV but our room did not have a microwave or coffeemaker which was totally fine for us. Parking is right outside of your room and the location was very quiet. We really enjoyed our stay and it did not feel like a hotel room at all. Would stay again!

Booked through Expedia. Couldn’t reach the front desk staff, called 6 times in the 4 days previous to the stay. Tried email and contacted Expedia customer service and even they couldn’t reach the motel. Once we arrived the front desk person was kind. The room smelled strongly of old stale cigarette smoke. White bedding had stains. Under the sheets the mattress cover had hairs and looked like it needed to be cleaned. The shower wasn’t cleaned well and once I use half the box of tissues I noticed the box had been reused and refilled, the tissues underneath looked used. The toiletries were basic but few. The renovations look nice but it’s like a bad facelift. Wouldn’t pay $200/night for it again.

I arrived early and had to pay a 50 dollar check in fee which was fine. The one thing that was confusing was i had to pay them a 100 dollar security deposit before check in even though i paid through expedia, for my stay, dosen't sound right to me but whatever...

It’s a terrific little spot, very quaint yet up to date with the decor. Very clean and basic. My only issue was no coffee pot which is very much needed in the morning. But you can drive down to a little donut shop by Vons which has excellent coffee! Still, in the room is better regardless. Also, no ice machine on the premises which is inconvenient to say the least, but you find a way to bring it back to the room and not make a mess. I just got large cups of ice at a sandwich shop. But seriously, except for these two issues it’s totally fine and a great place. The front desk agent was incredibly nice and helpful.

not only was I harassed by the property owner, discriminated against, had my privacy invaded, but beyond all that when checking out the property owner checked our room and proceeded to say we stole a plastic try from the refrigerator!! Like come on out of all things what! Not only that but even after we were treated so poorly by staff here we even had the decency to leave with the room cleaner than when we got there because we didn’t want any more problems. I mean literally the facts are that we were stereotyped to what the owner must have thought the filth of the earth was because that’s how he made us feel. What’s funny is that everything was fine u til we asked to stay another day which is what changed everything. By asking to stay that extra day the owner then decided after we paid that he could then just come In our room with no respect of our privacy and begin to tell us “you have too much stuff” then checked the bathroom and said “ oh no “ and then when leaving told us “ no graffiti on the walls no scratching the walls and don’t bother the customers” whatttt!!! Are you kidding me!! So rude, so disrespectful, never been treated like this at any other place in my life, and I’ve stayed at many establishments far and wide. So if you wanna be treated like second rate garbage, go right ahead and stay here. You’ll be welcomed with open arms.
