This place was great, clean, comfortable, and seemed very new and updated. The staff was friendly and helpful and the breakfast was delicious. Also, there was 24 hour tea and coffee which was nice. We enjoyed the pool (and they provided towels!), but the pool had some small bugs and leaves. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

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.
