The hotel was conveniently located near downtown Ventura, the beach, and shopping centers, making it a great spot for exploring. However, the room had some maintenance issues, and the overall ambience was not the best due to the underground feel and distant vending machines.

Rooms

The room needed maintenance as I had to call multiple times for fixes. It was disappointing not to have a working coffee pot and to access the room through a steep stairway with an unappealing view.

The staff was friendly and went above and beyond in their service, but there were challenges during check-out.

Location

The hotel's location near downtown Ventura, the beach, and local restaurants was a highlight, but there was a noticeable smell of mold particularly in the exterior and registration area.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were just what we needed but unfortunately smelled like cigarettes and were far from the breakfast area. However, the service was top-notch, especially from Stephan who went above and beyond. The location was close to the beach and pier, making it ideal for creating lasting memories. The dining experience had some highlights with a beautiful setting but lacked variety. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.

The hotel was like a cozy Italian cottage, shielded from the noisy motorway nearby. The rooms, though unique, showed signs of wear and were in need of a refreshment. Unfortunately, we found ourselves in a handicap room that was not up to standard.

Rooms

5.0

The rooms had no view, which turned out to be a blessing given the noisy motorway nearby. They reminded me of a quaint cottage in Italy, but they were in need of some updating and felt a bit worn. We were disappointed to find them dirty, and being placed in a handicap room was an inconvenience.

Service

5.0

Though the A/C had not been functional for a week, the staff did not inform us until the day of check-in. They fell short in providing alternatives for food and water, but were friendly with ready smiles, unlike the receptionists at the Yosemite View Lodge.

Location

6.0

The location next to the Bluff House was pleasant, with a view and new fixtures in the bathroom area. However, the presence of a railroad running nearby a few times a day was a drawback. The surroundings were pretty and within walking distance to the beach.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience offered good but expensive options, with a decent selection of items. Breakfast needs more variety for such a nice venue, although the cured meats were enjoyable.

Facilities

5.0

The facilities were overall decent but showed signs of wear and a lack of proper maintenance. While basic amenities were available, they didn't stand out in terms of quality.
