We stayed at this hotel while visiting family in Ventura. It is an older hotel, with outside hallways. The location has a nice view of the marina, and our room was clean. Apparently, they are in the process of remodeling the hotel. The staff accommodated all our requests. This hotel offers breakfast, and the airport shuttle has its office there,... More

My husband and I were going to be running the Mountain2Beach marathon/half marathon, and this was a less expensive option than staying in the host hotel. Our room was spacious and clean. Patty, the night clerk who checked us in, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area; she looked up some local info for my husband and left it... More

Overall, the hotel was okay. Cons: No in-room safe. Our door key only worked after the 4th or 5th time even after getting new cards. It feels very much like an old motel that was given a partial renovation. The room could have been cleaner but were not filthy. Pros: Great location if going to the Channel Islands. Staff was...

Hi YesTravelNow! Thank you for letting us know how your recent stay with us went. I was disappointed to hear that you had such a hard time with your keys.

While visiting a friend recently staying w/ this property, I was astonished at the un-kept conditions of this Chain hotel which repeated themselves next door at the adjoining 'Four Points', likewise. While the exterior of the bldng. was good enough, it was the corridors and some rooms which suffered obvious neglect. While walking down the carpeted hallways, there were obvious... More

This hotel has access to the harbour- wonderful view from our room balcony on the thrid floor. I highly reccomend staying on the thrid floor. Dinner at the Harbour was great - kids walked around and enjoyed the atmosphere. Morning time we went to downtown and had a wonderful breakfast and shopped all the quaint shops. Best trip in awhile... More

After checking in, this seemed to be a basic hotel with a tiny lobby and no extra services like a pool, fitness center, and hot tub.

I have come here for a research conference but can certainy recommend this hotel also for leisure travellers. My room was facing the harbor and you can experience a great sunset on the balcony if you are in the room at that our. Rooms are spacious and clean. They have a refrigerator but no safe.
