The property looks like a typical older motel from the outside, but they clearly did a lot for the interiors: key card entry, tile bathrooms, laminate floors, ceiling fan, crown moulding, nice bed and bedding. It had typical issues of an older building like you can hear any and all footsteps outside, so hopefully you have respectful neighbors. Ask for second floor away from the street (what they offered us). They can't do much about the outside and the plain neighborhood, but it was a nice, clean room.

Friendly front desk manager. Clean room with micro, fridge, and coffee maker. Exterior needs a fresh coat of paint.

Nice clean room. Good mattress. Pleasant staff

Super clean rooms. Everything works. Plenty of parking. The area is safe. Check in and out is hassle free.

Front desk agent was not friendly. WiFi is poor, unreliable. Kids running around the balcony on second floor which you could hear from the room.

We did not get to use keeo our reservation on 5/25/21. I Got stuck working late. I called to make late arrival arrangements around11:30, due to weather conditions and road construction our driving pace/speed was slowed down. Unfortunately we were 10 minutes late for the new arrival time. Noone was at the customer service window. We range bell for service, we called the hotel, noone cared to assist us. I was disappointed noone was there to check us in, and my credit card got charged regardless of not staying. So yes disappointing.

Property was as described. Although the room looked more specious on the picture than in reality. We stayed just one night and it worked good for us.

So I would first say that you may judge this place how it looks from the outside, but inside its completely redone. Clean, comfortable and the management were so friendly. And the place is built so you cant hear what is going on outside which is a plus. Thanks!

Awesome hotel in great location. Close enough to downtown Ventura and lots of restaurants.

Great room, updated, clean. Only down to it was the limited parking, but there is street parking near.

Does not look like much from the outside but the room was great for an overnight stay. I will use them again.

Smallest ever, no ice, no breakfast, soap didn't suds, dark and dreary . Extremely over priced. Overall half a star

This was perfect for what we needed. A room that we would arrive in late at night after a late dinner in Los Olivos and close to Ventura harbor for a 7AM ferry check-in. We didn't want to spend a lot for a room we wouldn't be in for anything more than a good night sleep. Comfortable and clean budget choice. No complaints but I wouldn't choose it for a longer stay.

Very nice room! The staff was welcoming and the room was updated. The bathroom was really tasteful done. Great room and a great price.

Definitely recommend hotel and wpuld stay there again.

Although it appears to be a typical 2 story motel the room I had was totally redone. The decor was modern and the bed was a pillow top, Its obvious someone put a lot of time and money in the rooms and they are continuing to work on the place. My room had a 60 inch flat screen tv, full size oven and fridge. All appliances were brand new. The bathroom was completely redone with new tiles, etc. This place is a bargain if you don't mind a room where the door goes directly outside instead of a interior hallway.
