It matched my expectations for an inexpensive motel. Perfectly acceptable, nothing fancy. Had almost a full kitchen but odd assortment of silverware and no coffee pot. Comfy bed. Loud AC helps drown out the little bit of traffic/noise outside.
Must say truly the kindest and caring people that I believe I have ever met in the profession. Rooms are clean beautiful, and every room has it's own personality. Very convenient. Housekeeping and gardening staff keep it very appealing. Go enjoy very quiet.
Excellent. The room was clean and looked modern, something I'd expect from a high end hotel. Fully equipped appliances, beautiful flooring and gorgeous shower. Beds are incredibly comfortable. Staff was leinient with out slightly late check out due to our traveling with small children, and they were completely understanding. Worth every penny. I highly recommend this place.
A mile run to the beach. Sushi restaurant down the street. Perfect location, big clean room! My kids and I had a blast. Will be staying here again I'm the future
I love the location it’s close to the mall,restaurants, banks and so much more. Very quiet area manager and staff are amazing very friendly and knowledgeable people. I always get a good night rest.
Adorable family owned motel in Ventura! Our room was equipped with full size kitchen and appliances. Fully remodeled with great showers and heavenly beds, clean and quiet. Will definitely stay there again when in the area!
The staff is very accommodating. They were able to adjust the check in time for me, which was pretty rad. And that’s just one of the ways this place stood out for me. The rooms are large and clean with cozy furniture. Together with the friendly atmosphere created by the staff makes this a five star motel for me. This is the only time I’ve felt compelled to write a review, by the way.
In all honesty, my first impression (from the outside) looked like it would just be one of your average cheap and dumpy motels. BUT when my boyfriend and I walked in there I was very surprised at what I saw! It was super clean! Furniture was really nice. Bathroom was a nice size and very clean. And a huge king size bed. It was so soft that I felt like I just sunk right into it. Good job guys! I would totally stay there again!
Off Highway 101, this humble motel is a mile from San Buenaventura State Beach, a 7-minute walk from Borchard Shopping Center and 2 miles from the Ventura County Fairgrounds.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in California. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
