The staff was very accommodating and informative. We had a small issue with our reservation and they fixed it on the spot. Making my plans with my friends much easier on us. I would definitely stay there again due to the location adjacent to the beach and the pier.

We had a wonderful stay here! The room was very comfortable, and the location couldn’t be better—just a short walk to the pier, downtown, and the Majestic Ventura Theater. The general manager checked us in and was incredibly friendly, giving us lots of helpful information about the city. Breakfast was hearty and delicious, a perfect way to start the day. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely stay here again!
