Great place. Super nice staff was very helpful and the room had a big jetted tub. I liked the little street with access to the beach and a close walk to Santa BuenaVentura state park. Will return. It’s especially a great spot if you run the MTB marathon or Ventura marathons.

Great location, walking distance to the beach. Supermarket just a block away. Parking is decent, but small, lots of big cars made it hard to park, staff was not in the office when arrived to Motel. Rooms have no air conditioning, just an oscillating fan. I get that its near the beach but was uncomfortable due to the high heat in the area. In room refrigerator and microwave came in handy to reheat left overs, not too many have them anymore. Overall, enjoyed the stay.

My stay here was super last minute and unplanned. The Inn owner and her staff were so accommodating and kind, I felt right at home. They have such warm energy and just overall left me feeling safe and cozy. She even moved my room to the upper level so I could be more comfortable (solo femme traveler). The property itself is well maintained thanks to the maintenance gentleman. He even sat with me on the patio and we shared some stories about life. Overall, it was exactly what I needed. They even gave me free postcards :) 1000/10 will be going back.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. We got a non-smoking room, but upon entering there was a musty smell like someone had smoked in the room. We had to open the windows, which only helped a little. There is no a/c, but they did provide a tower fan. The motel is very close to the beach and allows pets so that's a definite plus. Lots of eateries in the area. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Disliked: Amenities
No AC was inconvenient and the fans need to be bigger. The refrigerator side pockets were broken, so you couldn't use them. A pickle jar must have spilled in the refrigerator and everything I put inside smelled of pickle juice. If you like to camp, and I do, and the above are not major priorities, its location alone makes it worth it. I'd book again.
