Ventura hotellia

Plussat: Jack, at the front desk was awesome!

Miinukset: Room was too small... location of the room in the back of the building felt unsafe...key instead of a card...

Plussat: The room was wonderful! It was clean and very nice. The full sized refrigerator and stove were great, and we both talked about how we wished we were staying longer and we could have cooked in the room. The ceiling fan was great! The beds were comfortable - some of the best I have slept on in a hotel.

Miinukset: We arrived at 2:45, and the person at the desk was on the phone. I waited for him to finish his phone call, and then he told me that our room would not be ready for an hour. He took my number and said that he would text me when it was ready. At 4:20, I finally called and he said that it was ready but he had been too busy to text. When we got there (a 3 minute walk across the street) the office was locked and said that he would be back in 10 minutes. 10 minutes later, he showed up and it took another 15 minutes to check in because he kept answering the phone to tell people that there were no vacancies. Got checked in, got to the room, and found that he had not given us the wifi password. Went back down, and he gave me the sheet with the password on it. It was frustrating that 1) our room was not ready at 3 (we wouldn't have minded waiting 15 minutes; 2) the man kept answering the phone to tell people there were no vacancies; 3) he was gone when we came back; 4) he didn't give us the wifi password and I had to go back to get it. He was apologetic, but maybe they need more help in the office?

Miinukset: The office was closed a couple times in the morning when I went up for coffee. The coffee maker in the room was antiquated. Could not open the shampoo provided. My hanging clothes on the "closet" clothes rod were in the way of the coffee make

Plussat: The price was good. I was upgraded to a larger room because they were not full. The room was overall clean and the bathroom looked recently tiled. The bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in!

Miinukset: The kitchen sink could have been scrubbed a bit better. Fortunately I was on the ground floor because there is not an elevator.

Plussat: Room very clean, shower super nice, bed comfy.

Miinukset: Location just ok, my room was under a stairway next to an alcove. Absolutely no ability to see anything not even the sky without craning neck to look up. It’s a product of the small size of the property and location.

Plussat: Staff was really nice and helpfull.

Plussat: Very hospitable staff, great accommodations.

Plussat: The staff was really friendly. The room was a good size and we could walk to our concert.

Plussat: The attendant at the front desk was very pleasant. Offering us water and ice for our travels back home. Bed was very comfortable.

Miinukset: Towels were not exactly folded nicely. Towels looked a little dingy. Kitchen area floor had spots that when I wiped them, spots came off. Floor was in need of a cleaning.

Plussat: Older motel but remodeled & updated with better quality accessories like a top quality full size cooking range & fridge, toaster, coffee maker, microwave, tasteful cabinetry with new pots, pans, cooking utensils, dishes & flatware. Updated bathroom with enclosed shower. Spacious bedroom, excellent mattresses, pillows & bedding. Good A/C & double pane windows. Helpful reception desk.

Miinukset: Located in downmarket commercial district on street that's busy in the early morning (i.e. some street noise).

Plussat: VERY clean and modern. Large flat screen television comfortable bed. Not a large room; however very adequate and functional! The owners are very friendly and accommodating. It is the second time I have stayed at this facility.

Miinukset: I didn't see an ice machine and the small refrigerator had no provision to freeze anything.

Plussat: The shower was great and the staff very courteous. The bedding was spotlessly clean but the bed was soft.

Miinukset: Very noisy. One shampoo, conditioner, shower gel etc in sachets not sufficient at all for two people. Parking is is a real issue not enough spaces. The room was small by comparison to other cheaper motels.

Plussat: Affordable parking, close to the ocean.

Miinukset: Paid extra for "ocean view" when all the rooms are ocean view.

Plussat: Great view, great room, friendly staff, great events at the location, close to down town & stores. No Jacuzzi at the location but the pool was great. Salt water pool. Family friendly. They are renovating some of the balconies right now, but was not bothered by it. Stayed on the 10th floor at south east side of the hotel. slept with the balcony door open & listened to the waves crash on the beach.

Miinukset: There was not really anything that I disliked at all.

Plussat: Location and room view of ocean and sunrise

Miinukset: Didn't like to pay for parking.

Plussat: What breakfast?

Miinukset: Access to driving to check in needs better marking viewable from the street

Plussat: The view from the balcony, it was exactly what i expected. The sound of the waves braking is so relaxing. The staff was amazing, the view was Unreal.... we arrived and valet our car, we had no problem getting in and out.

Plussat: Rooms were clean and updated also the ocean view was awesome. Restaurant in lobby was real good and reasonable

Miinukset: Construction was going on so I feel i should if recieved a discounted rate or voucher for a future stay

Plussat: Very close to water

Miinukset: They forgot to give us the WiFi code and then they forgot to give us our tickets for breakfast which was included in meal. Other than that everything else was nice

Plussat: The staff was friendly. The location was on the beach near good food and the pier.

Miinukset: The building is under construction and the noise is unbearable from 9-6 everyday of my vacation. I drove from another state and could only use the room at night. The balcony ocean view was a waste due to construction noise. Freeway noise as well as the trains coming and going across the street, contributed to constant noise. The rooms were small, the bathroom door was a sliding barn door style that did not give much privacy. I wish I knew about the renovation construction before I booked. The room was pricey and not worth the money. I feel cheated. Could not wait to check out.

Plussat: The location was great. Loved the outside sitting area facing the ocean

Miinukset: Unfortunately they were having a lot of construction work going on during our stay which was noisy but I understand why they were having the work done.

Plussat: The location is great!

Miinukset: They were remodeling right above my room and the noise was unbearable, as I wanted to have a relaxing mini vacation on the beach.

Plussat: The amazing views

Miinukset: No

Plussat: everything

Plussat: Clean modern room, friendly staff, good breakfast, nice pool.

Miinukset: Right by the freeway but they have done a good job of noise control

Plussat: We loved how the rooms are so clean and remodeled and are very spacious. Great location

Miinukset: The only thing that could have some improvements is the parking lot with new pavement

Plussat: The staff was very friendly.

Miinukset: The same dirt was on hallway carpet for five days. Room also did not look vacuumed. The underground garage has an elevator that can go straight to upstairs rooms. Not safe and secure.

Plussat: The hotel is perfectly located two walking blocks from the happening part of Main Street in Ventura. I arrived late Thursday evening and went for a walk up to Main Street. There we bands playing, people walking, just a lot going on, but nothing crazy. The hotel is not on the water, but close enough to walk to and I went for a run Friday morning on the boardwalk by the ocean. Love place with the best hotel staff! I asked for the quiet side of the hotel which is the town facing side and it was perfect. No ocean view, but I didn't need that. I needed to sleep and on the ocean side of the hotel there is the freeway and the train. So accommodating!

Miinukset: The room was a bit warm and the wall air conditioner worked fine. I just wished it has been located at the top of the wall instead of the bottom as it didn't cool the whole room efficiently. But other than that, the room was great!

Plussat: Good breakfast, big rooms, great staff and clean

Plussat: Great location! A nice,short walk to the beach. Downtown was within walking distance where you can shop and find lots of eating establishments. The staff were attentive and helpful. The full breakfast each morning and happy hour in the evening were great.

Miinukset: The maid service was lacking big time.They forgot to leave coffee & cups and didn't clean the coffee pot.Also forgot to leave water cups & ice bags to get ice. They didn't vacuum.We complained about cigarette ashes on the balcony but they weren't cleaned

Plussat: Just a great experience, my family needed a getaway and this was just perfect for us.

Miinukset: The only thing that I had a problem with was our balcony, I was so happy to have one, but we couldnt even open the door because the door was so heavy and was hard to open and close, also the windows were very hard to open so it was just a stuffy room, so the balcony was pointless. I just wish the door opened and the windows were clean and open as well, nothing better than ocean air.

Plussat: Location was great. Walking distance to everything. Relaxing hotel and comfortable. good breakfast

Miinukset: Freeway noise by the pool

Plussat: We really enjoyed our room, which was a king with balcony. It was recently done over, clean, and spacious. For the price, which was a cheaper one for the area, the room, breakfast was excellent. Good parking set up, with spaces out front, or underneath the complex. We really only spent overnights there, so it was just a base. The breakfast was excellent. Be sure to tip. The folks doing the meal are worth it. Also, 2 thumbs up to Pizza Man Dan’s. Good pizza, fair price. Very good, free WIFI. If you are planning an economical trip, and don’t need to stay right on the beach, this is a really good choice.

Miinukset: Room with a balcony description gets your hopes up a bit, but it was rather small and not noteworthy. The hotel location is on the east side of Rte 101, so you can see the ocean and beach, but are not on it. You will get greeted by the train each morning around 6, so beware. Bed is great, pillows are adequate, but if you require ortho-pillows, be sure to bring your own. The beach is really east to get to, so take the time to get the lay of the land without getting frustrated.

Plussat: Overall, a decent one night stay hotel. Decent room/breakfast/pool, etc.

Miinukset: close to road and rail

Plussat: The location

Plussat: Location and breakfast included

Miinukset: Old slow elevator

Plussat: Right near beach, towels at pool, pool open late, extras with lounge, bar, etc

Miinukset: The fact that for the amount of money, bikes were not included, our sink did not drain, water kept building, parking was extra

Plussat: Breakfast was great! The staff were excellent--we loved staying at this hotel--and we'll be back!

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Almost everything

Miinukset: The room 1063 air-conditioning had a terrible noise during the night, even when off. It kept us up for most of the night...

Plussat: It was clean -fresh and friendly! Well staffed and helpful. A wonderful surprise.

Miinukset: No. It was great.

Plussat: The breakfast was great, I had the buffet and the omelette was delicious. Wait staff very friendly.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The location and the lobby access to hang out with friends. Definitely need more fire pits.

Miinukset: No free WiFi unless you are a member.

Plussat: Close to Free Way 101

Miinukset: 1) For the room price for one night, we should have Free Parking . 2) location of the room was very bad, ground floor and window open at the parking lot, no privacy. 3) Water bottle in the room cost $3.50

Plussat: The hotel itself was nice and clean. Cont from below- I was charged for WiFi even though I am a rewards member. And they rent bikes but the price isnt posted... its $27/hr with no daily or half day rate. I selected because I expected to ride to

Miinukset: When I checked in the staff had difficulty understanding the reservation. When she asked 1 night, I said no, 2 nights. She then asked, checking out on Monday? No, two nights is check out on Sunday. There was a $16/day parking charge which was high.

Plussat: New remodel

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: The remodel is great! Comfortable beds, fluffy pillows and a wonderful shower. The room was very contemporary..sleek and uncluttered. I liked that!

Miinukset: Don’t like that they charge for parking and you don’t mention it! If you did, I missed it!!

Plussat: The bed was very comfortable

Miinukset: Everything was good, no complaints

Plussat: The room was was more than what we expected!! Very nice and clean.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: The staff was very nice and friendly.

Miinukset: I did not like being at the location. Very noisy with a lot of traffic. Not the best of locations. However, the inside was decent, the staff was extremely friendly, and our room was clean. I just think we were charged way too much for this particular hote

Plussat: Clerk very helpful with restaurant recommendations

Plussat: Convenient location right of the Hwy for our 1 night stay. Very soft sheets and the room slept the 5 of us without pulling out the couch. The breakfast was a voucher at Denny’s that was a short walk down the street. We could have drove but decided to just walk there. Breakfast was great. You picked 4 of a list of items. Honestly the best breakfast from a hotel stay on our trip to CA.

Miinukset: Tight parking lot but this was not a big deal for us. No pool but again we didn’t need one for our overnight stay.

Plussat: Location, near where we needed to be.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: nothing

Miinukset: the worst was the breakfast, they give me a voucher to eat at Dennys and this was the worst Dennys that i ever eat. worst food, it takes too much time and the food was cold.

Plussat: the Bed

Miinukset: Tv remote didn’t really work. Lousy stations on tv. Room was very small. AC kept turning off, not at all user friendly. Didn’t tell us our breakfast voucher was only good till 9, so we didn’t get our free breakfast! Coffee in the lobby was absolutely terrible. Tasted like it had been there all day.

Plussat: Room is very clean. Bed is comfortable, very quiet. Staff are very friendly.

Miinukset: I wish breakfast is in the hotel. I don’t like to walk at Denny’s too many homeless people in front of it which I’m very uncomfortable. We didn’t eat breakfast on the second day we were there. We drove somewhere.

Plussat: The staff was excellent. I enjoyed the cookies/donuts and coffee in the reception area. Double windows to block noise was thoughtful. The bed was EXCELLENT, it was so comfortable as were the pillows. Centrally located and early check-in was a definite plus.

Miinukset: The toiletries were tiny, not enough for 2 people.

Plussat: I loved that they had coffee and pastries in the lobby. The breakfast vouchers at Denny's were great! The room was also very nice.

Plussat: Great location and friendly staff

Miinukset: Breakfast before 9am at Denny’s

Plussat: This time is fine but next time I will look for more time to better organize the trip to avoid bad times

Miinukset: the place is good location the price for the room is a bit high compared to other hotels, the attention of the staff is good the breakfast was in the Denny's restaurant the service in that place was ugly at the end it seems to improve as the staff at first seems ignore that we are waiting for attention the person who started attending us never again went to attend other people and that looks very bad

Plussat: Staff was great. Bed was very comfortable.

Miinukset: Not a thing. It exceeded my expectations.

Plussat: Free breakfast and two minutes from the ocean

Miinukset: The room was SMALL

Plussat: Great location, delicious breakfast with a nice assortment and the most friendly staff(even under pressure with some folks!). We, my husband Dennis, my brother John and I, felt this was the perfect location to explore the historical downtown with all it had to offer!

Miinukset: That we didn't stay longer! We came for a concert and wished we had planned a longer stay. So much to do!

Plussat: The property was a great size and everything was close by.

Plussat: Clean and quiet. Great breakfast. Pool area ok. Great location.

Plussat: Breakfast and friendly staff. After check in, Alicia, called and made sure we were comfortable

Plussat: The towels are either washed and some kind of toxic sandpaper or something but they don't really dry it when it's like rubbing sandpaper on it so you got to buy some new towels the thermostat is extremely complicated on the new ductless AC system and unless you have a high-powered microscope and a 10000 watt light you're not going to be able to figure out the instructions or how to use it other than that great

Plussat: Our room was spacious and had an ocean view. Bed very comfortable. Cable TV easy to operate. Housekeeping staff very friendly and hospitable. Location is central to beach access and downtown Ventura. Full breakfast was great.

Miinukset: The man who checked me in was not hospitable or welcoming at all. We were not informed that there was infused water available in the lobby for guests until the evening of our second night there. We were not informed that the hotel offered pool towels.

Plussat: Close to the beach.

Miinukset: Very noisy... late into the night. Light filled the room around the door frame in the morning. Air conditioner spit ice onto the floor all night.

Plussat: The air conditioning worked well and the water pressure in the shower was great.

Miinukset: No hot tub! And the website states there is one, which is why I chose this motel over better priced ones nearby. We were very unhappy about that. And my boyfriend had to clean the leaves, etc out of the pool before going in.

Plussat: Friendly staff, plentiful breakfast with delicious potatoes, clean room

Miinukset: more soundproof doors and windows, loud cars right outside in the parking lot

Plussat: I liked the breakfast. The motel was located on a busy street. I typically don't care for outside entry doors (motel). I liked that my room was located in a private part of the motel but could not park near my room, which was ok.

Miinukset: Location, motel, style, poor lighting over vanity.

Plussat: The staff was very friendly. The morning breakfast was excellent. The room was clean and accommodating it was very nice.

Miinukset: I was disappointed by the loud train that goes by and unfortunately went by at 6:30 in the morning. I was looking forward to sleeping in because I didn't have a meeting until 9 and the train goes through there at 6:30 in the morning.

Plussat: The location and bike rentals were great! We took a bike ride in the morning before heading to Santa Cruz for hiking. You can hear the sea lions from the balcony. We also had dinner at the restaurant, and it was better than expected.

Miinukset: The rooms were a little dated, but we felt right at home regardless.

Plussat: Very spacious room, large bathroom, with excellent ventilation, comfy bed.

Miinukset: Breakfast was disappointing- compared to the room. Expected better quality from Sheraton.

Plussat: Hotel very clean very friendly staff. Beds were very comfortable. I would recommend to anyone. Close to the beach.

Miinukset: Location and lack of a functioning laundry room

Miinukset: The bathroom is bland. Some color would be nice. The cost of breakfast is high.

Plussat: The view was great and so was the pool. Staff was friendly.

Miinukset: Whirlpool/jets were not working in the spa.

Plussat: Restaurant has good breakfast

Miinukset: The surprise 12$ day parking is a rip off

Miinukset: The towels by the pool. Poor quality. No microwave No outdoor Jacuzzi without roof. Too hot, Construction going on when I arrived. Decor dreary.

Plussat: It was walking distance (longer walk) to the Village and had a good view of the harbor.

Miinukset: The spa area didn't seem very clean and there wasn't much sound proofing between the floors. We had very loud people above us and we could hear everything.

Plussat: Large, comfortable room. Good facilities especially the gym. Excellent food in the restaurant. Need transport to get to downtown Ventura and pier.

Plussat: N/A

Miinukset: Rooms were bad not Like the pictures on the website there was mold on our walls and I booked the hotel because of reviews and the website. We got in our room and there was no sofa bed which was the only reason we booked I was disappointed.

Plussat: I liked the location by the harbor. The room was clean. The restaurant in the hotel had great food with friendly service.

Miinukset: I called the hotel the day I made the reservation to be sure they would accept my dog and caged bird and that I would get a king room with a harbor view They said that I would have to pay a pet fee but that I would get the room I requested. I called again the morning of the day I was arriving and asked for early check in and was confirmed for the room I requested and early check in. When I arrived the manager said that they didn't allow pets above the first floor and the only room available didn't have a harbor view. In fact it didn't have access to a small patio because the patio doors were chain locked and had a couch in front of the doors and ew could only reach the curtain on one side of the couch. The room was on the end with an ice machine across from it and next to a gate with access to the street with a building under construction on the other side. We were there to start a vacation and go to a grandson's wedding and we're not only uncomfortable, the hassle by management made us late but what I felt worse about was that although I had called on three different occasions to confirm the reservation, I was lied to. I had choices of other hotels but had enjoyed stays with my pet's at other Sheraton hotels so chose Sheraton for my stay. I won't ever stay at this one again and made sure that the guests for the wedding were warned and advised to stay elsewhere.

Plussat: Free breakfast was great There is a new building (rooms and front desk ), it looks modern and neat. Walking distance of restaurants.

Plussat: breakfast was good.

Miinukset: had a room with a view, but the bushes blocked it.

Plussat: We slept through breakfast! Loved the balcony and view of the marina. Our room was super nice and very comfortable! Loved the location so close to the Harbor Village!

Miinukset: The pool and spa were too far from our room. Although the two properties share the pool and spa, we feel each property should have their own pool and spa.

Plussat: I liked the friendly service, the comfort of the bed and the quiet of the area. Very relaxing.

Plussat: We really enjoyed our stay at the Holiday Inn in Ventura and loved our spacious room with balcony and view of the harbor. We brought our small dog and the accommodations were just right. The breakfast was a nice bonus!

Plussat: Large clean attractive room. Nice white bedding, free breakfast, lots of outdoor parking

Miinukset: Peppers in the omelet

Plussat: Location to the beach and the room was VERY clean. The front desk staff was very friendly and accomidating!

Plussat: Clean modern

Miinukset: Could not figure out A/C

Plussat: We were placed in one of the wheelchair-accessible rooms, and found it well-designed with a good layout and finishes. The breakfast options were somewhat better than the typical chain-hotel offerings. As expected, the hotel is close to the ferry to the Channel Islands.

Miinukset: When we arrived at the hotel the staff said they had no record of our reservation, which had been made three months in advance. In this kind of situation it can be difficult to determine whether booking.com or the hotel is at fault, however our experience suggests the fault lay with the hotel. While we waited on hold with booking.com (which needs more operators because this took forever) we watched as (a) an arriving guest was given a room key and returned immediately after finding there were people already in the room, (b) another guest's attempt to pay with cash completely confused the staff, and (c) the front desk placed multiple calls to deal with reported overflowing toilets. The booking.com operator called the hotel to negotiate getting our room reservation honored while we waited; he suspected that the manager had failed to enter the reservation after it was sent. Ultimately we were given a room at the reserved rate, however the process took over 30 minutes and was extremely stressful after a long day of driving. We then found the hotel wifi didn't work, although after another half hour they ultimately fixed it. Given these experiences, the fact that the walls were so thin that we heard everything happening in the room next door was almost unremarkable (and this was in the new building). The hotel website shows photos of a pool, but the listed amenities do not include a pool; this is the hotel's oblique way of indicating that guests at this hotel have the option of going to the nearby Four Points Sheraton and using their pool. The hotel was recently expanded and now has two buildings; signage is terrible (a sheet of paper tacked to what looks like the entrance, indicating that it is no longer in use) and it was not at all obvious that the check-in had moved to the new building, far away from the entrance sign, so FYI. Note that parking a car in the (underused) hotel lot costs an additional $12/day.

Plussat: location comfort of room

Miinukset: having to pay for parking

Plussat: The view of the harbor.

Miinukset: A smell coming from the sink .

Plussat: Location was great, right on Ventura Harbor, near several shops and restaurants. King room was large with a couch, and clean. Shower was large. Breakfast was excellent.

Miinukset: We had a 1st floor room, and were told it was Harbor side, however you had to stand up on the patio to see over the wall. If you sat in the chairs, your view was a wall. We also had trouble with the TV. The sound cut out on about every other word. They also charge $12 for self parking.... but deducted this from the bill when I mentioned the problem with the TV. Overall, the price was high, but the stay was good.

Plussat: I liked the coffe in the room

Plussat: Location and the room has a complete kitchenette. Recently nicely remodel. Great bathroom too.

Plussat: The full kitchen. The excellent staff and service.

Miinukset: Nothing. Everything was perfect.

Plussat: I liked that there were 3 beds for our family size.

Miinukset: The AC didn’t cool enough. Stains on the pillows. Kitchen cabinets were dirty with stains.

Plussat: The bed was very comfortable The place was very clean. It's close to main street

Miinukset: Couldn't get the microwave oven to work and then realized I had to unplug the coffee pot and plug the microwave oven The outside view could use a little make over

Plussat: The remodeled kitchen was beautiful!

Miinukset: When we pulled back the sheets to get into bed, there were bugs jumping around in it. They looked like fleas, but we couldn’t catch them to find out for sure.

Plussat: The layout was more than expected

Plussat: no breakfast. The basic rooms did not include a hairdryer. every room has a full kitchen but no utensils, nor plates, etc in the basic rooms. old motel that has been upgraded significantly

Miinukset: access to a hairdryer. A few plates and utensils in the kitchen.

Plussat: Full kitchen and the price

Miinukset: Noisy, walls are thin. Very basic place. Employees knocked on my door twice. Once to move my car a inch forward (pointless) second the cleaning lady at 9am. So privacy and peace is not an option here.

Plussat: Location was perfect for what we wanted to do in the area. Unexpected that there was a fully equipped kitchen.

Miinukset: Bed was a bit too soft for my husband and I.

Plussat: The room was large, clean and updated. Low pet fee.

Miinukset: During the daytime, there were people who seemed to be working there hanging out on the stairs drinking beer. Every time I left the room, they were there, all the way until evening. It felt like it was their complex and I was intruding. Also, there's a kitchen, but no plates, utensils, or really anything. It wasn't clear from communication that you needed to bring these items.

Plussat: nice room, convenient, clean, friendly service

Plussat: Beds are super and room excellent in cleanliness. Neil at front desk was wonferful..close to everything beach,food shopping.

Miinukset: Stairs

Plussat: Location and comfortable bed

Miinukset: Waaaay too expensive.

Plussat: Close to the fairgrounds and downtown Ventura.

Miinukset: Too close to the fwy and the hotel did not have a pool.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great place to stay. Get your breakfast stuff at Walmart / 99c only store and youre good ;). We just used the Motel 6 as a base for our planned day-trips. Easy to visit Santa Barbara, footwalk distance to the Fairgrounds. Downtown Ventura is just a couple minutes away! Great offer of second-hand-stores, vintage / antique stores & restaurants.

Plussat: Great room, amazing neil, very comfortable.

Plussat: Very clean and located right by the beach and downtown Ventura

Miinukset: Bed was too firm for me

Plussat: I reserved a deluxe king bed room but there were none when we got there. The double room was very small, but it was a room and the clerk gave me a 10% discount.

Miinukset: See above. Also the room had no decor whatever , there was no shampoo, and the second person in The bed had no nightstand. Also the a/c blew right across the other bed, so it would be unpleasant to sleep there.

Plussat: Location proximity to train Station, downtown and beach.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The room was perfect and clean and was nice and quiet. The manager was super friendly and accommodating and worked with us regarding our stay. It is also in a fantastic location as we spend a lot of time at the beach.

Miinukset: The price of the room is more than what we are comfortable with.

Plussat: Clean room, friendly staff, easy check-in, very close to the beach!

Plussat: Location

Plussat: I love that this property allows large dogs

Miinukset: I liked everything

Plussat: Location is great if you go after to the Port to Channel Islands.

Miinukset: I don't know maybe that is a coincidenсe but somehow I was assigned the most remote room probably in the entire hotel though it didn't look like the hotel was full. The hotel is structured in not a very convenient way (it takes a lot of time to get to your room)

Plussat: Great location and reasonable price considering it was a holiday weekend

Miinukset: Can't think of anything had a wonderful stay

Miinukset: no hairdryer, no tissues, just the basics. Staff were friendly and brought extra towels since there was only 1 set in the room.

Plussat: Staff was nice and friendly. Room was quiet and clean. Parking area was good. Free wifi, coffee, and tea. Laundry and ice machine area came in handy. Reasonable price for a night stay. Walking distance to the beach. Will definitely recommend.

Plussat: Loved the location.

Miinukset: Fences locked, far too the store and food but safety was good.

Plussat: Close to the beach

Miinukset: No dislikes

Plussat: there was no breakfast, however it was next door to McDonald's and across the street from Denny's so breakfast was affordable and easy to get to.

Miinukset: I would have really liked having a tub, but I am older and prefer tubs to showers. The shower was a nice one and since the facility was close to the Pacific Ocean, the showers were probably a better way to go.

Plussat: Clean secluded room. Quiet side of building facing the beach.

Miinukset: Room was small. No tub.

Plussat: Fast Food close. Freeway access.

Miinukset: Not really.

Plussat: Good location between highway and beach.

Miinukset: Little bit loud. We had ants in our room ;(

Plussat: All the above especially the staff

Miinukset: Its a A+

Plussat: The can’t room was nice and clean.

Plussat: Great location and customer service!

Miinukset: Room was not clean!

Plussat: Location, family suite is best for kids and parents don’t have to share tv, space, location is perfect walk to beach (bridge behind hotel) walk down town to restaurants and store , Uber ride to fair ground was only $6 , bed was comfortable, staff was extremely helpful and turned in my wallet.

Miinukset: Maybe update furniture

Plussat: Staff got us a room before check in time

Miinukset: The water was shut down twice

Miinukset: Bath tub had black skid marks. Staff came right away to address. Tv cable box was found hidden behind tv, unable to change channels

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Air conditioning didn't work. Security lock on the door was broken Toilet didn't work well Stains in wall Dirty chairs in the room Handrails on stairs was dirty and sticky. Was disgust ing to touch

Plussat: Location. We were close to all the restaurants in the area.

Miinukset: The air did not work in the room. We had to change rooms. It was expensive for such a run down place.

Plussat: Great place to stay when in Ventura for a night or two. Walking distance to the beach and to downtown. We will definitely be back.

Plussat: Comfortable mattress with clean comforter, Tammy from housekeeping was great, ocean breezes, out dated mid century modern motel but quaint in it's own way, for the location to tourist attractions it was reasonably priced, easy check-in.

Miinukset: Homeless people hanging around. Poor included breakfast. Noisy in night with people searching inside trash bins. Train whistle behind motel.

Plussat: Our stay was enjoyable and the coolness by the ocean was nice.

Miinukset: A small dog next door started barking about 5:30 am.

Plussat: Not impressive. Have had alot nicer. Was like what 7/11 stores offer-Sorry

Miinukset: an older very dirty and damaged vehicle parked near the front of the inn parking lot seemed a little strange and out of place, due to it appearing like someone was living out of the vehicle. I thought it would be better parked somewhere else on property.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Old and run down. Description says that there is a restaurant on property but the restaurant closed in December of 2018.

Plussat: Room was sooo comfortable and relaxing. View of park brought back memories of living in Ventura or visiting relatives.

Plussat: Location and design

Miinukset: Limited parking

Plussat: Wanted to stay close to the majestic theater to allow walking to an event there. Was very delighted to arrive to find this little gem! Right away I was treated to a free room upgrade as there were 3 adults and the desk clerk thought we would be more comfortable with queen beds. The view was nice and We also loved the overall charm of this cool old firehouse! Will absolutely stay here again anytime we are in ventura!

Miinukset: My only complaint would be that a little more to offer for the continental breakfast would be nice.

Miinukset: Really enjoyed my stay here. Can’t beat the location. Would definitely recommend to others. I’ll be coming back for sure.

Plussat: Eggs were not offered, and that would have been nice

Miinukset: Breakfast food choices need to be healthier : less sugar, less fat. Nonfat yoghurt, bananas

Plussat: Janet at reception desk was excellent

Miinukset: Bathroom door would not close/open properly. Door sticks when near door jamb. Makes loud grinding/ scraping sound

Plussat: Best Value around. The rooms are nicer than most higher priced hotels. The staff is great accommodating and friendly.

Miinukset: Not enough parking it can be challenging

Plussat: Location and staff was friendly

Miinukset: Bathroom and walls were dirty, pillows were too hard

Plussat: They upgraded our room without requesting it!

Miinukset: It was all good.

Plussat: I arrived early and the vacancy sign was already lit and i could see why after my first day. The staff was very friendly and check in was very quick and the room was very clean with chocolates on the bed. which is something i haven’t seen for years even at the high end hotels. They even had a very good breakfast by the pool.

Plussat: Only good thing was it’s in an ideal, beautiful location a block from downtown!

Miinukset: Breakfast was bad. Stale. We left and ate in town. Staff was unfriendly and needs customer training training. Bed was uncomfortable. AC is wall unit and loud. Bathroom light is connected to fan and super loud as well. Said there was a pool and gym but there is neither. Multiple people smoking on property. No smoking sign posted but not enforced. There was a dead crow out front the hotel the WHOLE stay and no one cleaned it up! And we told them!

Plussat: The hotel has old town Ventura California ambience. Nice breeze and a nice property to stay in with old town charm. Good value for price.

Plussat: The hotel was a great price in a great location right off the 101 .. the free breakfast was a nice treat .

Plussat: Beds were comfortable. The room had a recliner, which was nice. Staff was very nice.

Miinukset: Pillows need replaced. No fridge or microwave. No toiletries. Doors to rooms are all outside. Breakfast was crowded and part of the hotel lobby. I just had coffee since there was no room to get around everyone. Expected a bit more for the price we paid compared to other hotels in the area we’ve stayed before.

Plussat: Clean room, truly received what i was hoping for in a room

Miinukset: Excellent value for money, staff at front desk was very helpful and friendly.

Plussat: My wife and I came for an early anniversary mini-vacation. The staff went above and beyond to correct our reservation error and upgraded us for the price we were originally given. The room was lovely, king bed very comfortable, clean and more amenities then we were anticipating. We do recommend the upper floor, as the ground floor did have more lively-boisterous guests. Breakfast was quite good, so much more than Danish and coffee… fruit, eggs, cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, juice, milk, waffles amd more. Every staff member we encountered were pleasant and efficient. Also, it is handicap accessible through the entire property. My wife uses a walker and had comfortable access to all areas of the property. We will be coming back.

Miinukset: The beer cans and liquor bottles left around the hot tub, the ground level walkway and in the parking lot.

Plussat: It was clean

Miinukset: Breakfast can have more options like hot eggs potatoes more to choose from

Plussat: The pool and jacuzzi.

Miinukset: No refrigerator or microwave

Plussat: Pillows and sheets smells good

Plussat: The breakfast has waffles, eggs and a nice variety of bread and cereals. The room was spacious. We were upgraded for free because the other rooms were taken. The room was very clean. Great location, near the beach.

Plussat: Nothing.

Plussat: Staff was great and accommodating. Close to stores, fwy and quiet even though close to the pool. Room had refrigerator and microwave

Miinukset: We had to upgrade to get a room with a refrigerator and microwave, it was not stated that only deluxe rooms had those amenities. Water pressure on shower was not strong and took over 15 minutes to get hot.

Plussat: Location near the highway, ideal situation for 'traveling persons'. Shops on 2min driving. Nice to have the swimming pool & spa after a long day.

Miinukset: Bathroom can have an update. Compared to other facilities they are more out dated. Nevertheless, they are cleaned every day and everything is available so still inline with our needs.

Miinukset: Needed coffee and kleenex last day of stay.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: A/C didn't work, not many bath towels in the room

Miinukset: The noise from the freeway

Plussat: Clean, good location

Plussat: Clean

Miinukset: A lot of shady characters hanging around at night

Plussat: It is clean, smells good

Miinukset: No fridge, no microwave, no soap, no shampoo. No breakfast. Only one little soap but it looks like was used before. Very weird I have been traveling for the whole country; never saw a hotel without this facilities.

Miinukset: There were bugs because my to son got eaten up. Black mold in the shower.

Plussat: Open building structure

Miinukset: The towel service was poor: old and stained. Bathroom floor was dirty. By the bed dirty corners

Plussat: N/A

Miinukset: breakfast was served later than we had to leave

Plussat: The access to freeway to get to The Collection but the place needs to have bigger room access it was crammed & felt like a small box with now space to move & didn't accommodate any comfort for the price charged for this room. Bed was extremely uncomfortable, not toiletries were supplied in room like every hotel I have stayed in. The toilet didn't flush properly I was very disappointed of this location & will not refer anyone or be returning to this location for a stay. Thank you Sylvia Gonzalez

Miinukset: The bed was uncomfortable , couldn't move in room very small had a funky smell like they try to cover up the old smell of something very unpleasant. Toilet didn't flush properly very old furniture needs updating & to be replaced.

Plussat: The location of the motel was very convenient. The staff were always helpful when we needed something and they were very friendly. The bed linens seemed to be clean. They smelled like chlorine but that made us feel like they were clean. Our room was freshened up daily, beds were remade and clean towels were restocked.

Miinukset: The bathroom was not as clean as I am comfortable with. There was dirt and a dead bug in the corner on the floor. The bathtub looked grimy. I had to buy shower shoes before I could take a shower because I was not comfortable standing on that shower floor. The air conditioner did not work well.

Plussat: Easy access, clean and comfortable.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Location

Miinukset: Dirty sheets. Smelly bathroom plumbing

Plussat: Room very tidy and clean. Very friendly staff. Huge Rooms including kitchen. Thank you, Bee! You made our stay extraordinary. We will visit you again, if we are in the US another time.

Plussat: Good Big rooms with kitchen. It was clean and the beds were comfy. It looks a bit creepy from the outside but the rooms are actually good for the value.

Plussat: Comfy room really big awesome stay

Miinukset: Overall great stay

Plussat: The staff was friendly, and check-in was fast and easy.

Miinukset: Thin walls. I learned far too much about the couple in the adjacent room. It reminded me of the Marc Cohn song, Paper Walls. I'm not sure the owners can do anything to remedy this.

Plussat: That I didn't stay there

Miinukset: I didn't like that it was a run down piece of crap, and you wouldn't let me refund the charges to my card, so I basically paid for a hotel I never checked into... fantastic

Plussat: Nothing was good. Worst maintained

Miinukset: Everything

Plussat: Very dirty, looked a lot different online

Plussat: Rooms was spacious had a full kitchen so comfy enjoyed our stay very much

Plussat: It's a typical roadside motel. Nothing special about it. Close to some shops, parking not a problem, clean.

Miinukset: It is what it is - a room in an older motel.

Plussat: Very clean room and bathroom Microwave available

Plussat: -

Miinukset: Rude, made it difficult to get the key, doona cover was dirty and made up rules that cost money

Miinukset: Building was under construction and definitely did not look like building I thought I was renting a room from. So, definitely was not worth $200 a night fee.

Miinukset: It’s kinda loud. I was woken up very early by people going down the stairs to leave in the morning.

Plussat: nothing fancy. no a/c but won’t need it. 2 min walk to the beach and lots of food close by.

Miinukset: a few ants in the bathroom

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Tacky room....mattress had springs popping up...fridge didn't work...leaked water all over the floor...very very tacky room

Plussat: Close to beach

Miinukset: Motel under construction, ice machine not working, bathroom dirty, and need of repair, breakfast was lacking

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Sheets were not completely white, bathroom

Plussat: The staff was nice and polite. Breakfast was free : waffles and juice / coffee TV was big and had some informative channels (mostly news)

Miinukset: Hard to find parking - I had to park on the street, the parking was full In the pictures, the places looks really good, but once I got there, it looks like it needs a renovation The bathroom was clean, but really old, with old curtains and a lot of rust. The main door had rust around the handle The walls are thin and the noise outside can be quite high during night (or day) The beds looked stuffy (dusty) Moreover, the images posted here are deceiving: this place is close to the beach, but not near the beach. I choose this place as I thought that you can see the ocean from the window, but it's not the case.

Miinukset: Falsely advertised. Run down, our room smelled musty, not a safe location. Our car was rummaged through in the parking lot, and our credit cards were stolen.

Plussat: The staff was very courteous when we checked in and it’s about a two block walk to the beach. The room inside was clean but the furniture was worn down.

Miinukset: The pictures on the website are deceiving. The hotel exterior Looks very run down and caution tape was strewn about on the balcony railings. It looks like the owners are attempting to make repairs but the surrounding area has a lot of street traffic, along with the liquor store across the street and the bar down the street it’s is very noisy. The hotel says no smoking but several guests had ashtray on their patio tables downstairs and would smoke in the small parking lot.

Plussat: Amazing location

Miinukset: No air con

Plussat: The breakfast consisted of a waffle maker in the front office, that is all.

Miinukset: The parking is very limited and they are performing roof maintenance that has apparently been going on for months.

Plussat: Price was great. Staff was nice and willing to work with me

Miinukset: Bed was not queen it was a full

Plussat: The staff and owners (?) were very friendly and service minded. I would come back any day.

Miinukset: Nothing wrong, considering price and location.

Plussat: This motel has such a lovely feel to it. Rooms are individual and have a boutique feel. Very clean and tidy with all the equipment you require. The couple that run it are so kind and caring and nothing is too much trouble. We were provided with everything we asked for. Would definitely recommend a stay here

Miinukset: Nothing at all.

Plussat: I had a Late arrival after a wedding. The gentleman in front came out in a good mood even though it was 1 am! He was kind and helped me. We left by shaking my hand and welcoming me. In the morning the woman was very kind! She wished me a happy Father’s Day and safe travels. This place has been there since 1977 and I’m grateful to be part of a historical place’s history.

Plussat: I felt as if I had my own apartment. Covered garage and all. Nice surprise.

Miinukset: Not so much that I didn't like any particular thing. It was exactly what I needed and paid for. Great find.

Plussat: The staff (husand and wife) are very attentive and caring! We were well taken care of

Miinukset: There were permanent tenants in some units. And the one right next to our unit smokes pot, and our children were with us

Miinukset: When we walked into the non-smoking room, we were instantly met with the strong smell of smoke. The management must have known because the fan was running and a window was open in an apparent attempt to alleviate the smell. As it was late, we just put up with the smell. However, in the morning, upon checking out, we told one of the managers about the problem and were given an accusatory look with no comment. The room had a dirty appearance and the sheets were stained.

Plussat: The property was nice, lots of flowers and a old mission design.

Miinukset: The floors were dirty, the coffee pot covered with dust, thread bare towels, kitchen curtain dirty and full of holes. The front door handle falling off, no dead bolt. We had an emergency and were in San Diego in Smart Hospital and could not make it the first day. The owner would not refund the first day even though it was an emergency. He made light of how dirty and unkept the inside of our room was. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Plussat: Wonderful support from the employees. Very kind, polite and helpful. Glad to have chosen Mission Bell!

Miinukset: The stove in the kitchenette didn't work.

Plussat: Check in was easy and quick but the kitchenette I reserved was only a small fridge and microwave. I expected a lot more but the bed at least was fairly comfy

Miinukset: I swear it said that there was a pool there n there is no pool no jacuzzi no breakfast no coffee and the water pressure was pretty miserable.

Plussat: The building had a cute design

Miinukset: The front office smelled moldy and it had piles and piles of paper like a storage room Staff barely speak English, they don’t have a coffee maker in the room but a kitchenette The beds were old with used up sheets and uneven curtains

Plussat: While not the dirtiest place I ever stayed it is certainly the most run down. Out of 12 lightbulbs in the room, 6 were missing or broken. The bathroom was dirty, the shower door was jammed and did not close, entrance door had no safety features and did not seal. Blackout curtain was hanging half off the rail. During a stay of 5 nights, my room was “cleaned” (the bed was made) once.

Miinukset: The TV was the best feature of the room. It was working and fairly new.

Plussat: Clean

Miinukset: Location and outside appearance

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Had broken bathroom window, ants in the bathroom and cleanliness on detail level was poor. Light bulb in one lamp was dead.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: We had bedbugs in our room

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: The bed was old and worn out. Probably the worst bed I have ever had.

Plussat: NOT A THING

Miinukset: Dirty carpets and bathroom floors, fire alarm missing in room, light fixture broken, window screen missing, late maid service, dried toilet paper laying on ground below sewer cleanout.

Plussat: NOTHING!!!!

Miinukset: The cleanliness of the bathroom and room in general!! This motel is in need of a major remodeling and modernizing.

Miinukset: They need to be better organized. When I booked, I told them my arrival details (arriving late on the Surfliner--I even told them which train). Still, they emailed me on my day of arrival asking when I'd arrive. When I got there, they couldn't figure out how to charge me correctly. (Sigh.)

Plussat: Clean and overall great place to stay

Miinukset: No vending machine and the ice machine didn't work well.

Miinukset: When I booked, I informed them of my late arrival (including the specifics of which train I'd be on), but they emailed me anyway asking when I'd be arriving. Then, they had difficulty figuring out how to charge me correctly, since they had charged one night (as expected) before I arrived. Housekeeping was poor. Location is out of the way and not very pleasant.

Miinukset: Place was scruffy

Plussat: Room and bath were clean

Miinukset: The outside from the hotel need to be painted. We had to push and pull the room door to open and close it.

Miinukset: The staff was rude when we arrived and the property looked as though a bunch of druggies lived there. I was charged extra because he charged me for my child who is tall for her age when kids are supposed to be free. I asked for an extra blanket and pillow and they were resistant on giving us one. The room smelled horrible... the room looked clean but did not have a welcoming or clean sent. My family and I will not be returning to this hotel.
