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.

Reopening after a pandemic

Upgrades needed around the property. The shower needs to be redone. To switch between the water coming out of the tub spout and shower head was NOT an option. It came out of both ends but more for the tub. The shower curtain needs to be longer so the floor doesn’t flood. Window curtains lets a good amount of light in when your trying to sleep and the light hits your face. I like that there is not an iron and a steamer is given to use but it would be great if it worked. Instead it would shoot out water. Sinks need to be raised. Why is everything at knee level when it’s not even a handicap room. Beds and pillows are very uncomfortable. Microwaves could be added to the rooms. Fridge does not get cold but cooler than room temperature. The outlets to plug in your phones on the nightstands do not work. Pool needs to be cleaned if your having guest. I did kill a cockroach one night. Noise you get anywhere when you’re on the bottom floor. This place was great before the pandemic. It’s finally opened back up but I think it’s not the best place to stay with a family. Do some upgrades and offer housekeeping with a longer operating window.
