Comfy in Cali.

Perfect location between the downtown, and the beach. The hotel had a great breakfast, comfortable beds, and spacious rooms, as well as a nice pool, and a park across the street.

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.

10/10 stay!! easily one of the best small hotels I've stayed in the southern ca area. the only thing I would recommend is waking up a little early for breakfast as it does get a little crowded after 8am. I would come back to this place 100%

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.
