Hotels Near San Buenaventura State Beach in Ventura

The rooms look exactly like the internet pictures; very clean and newly updated. Don't let the outside of the building fool you , the price is unbeatable and the room was perfect. Suggestions: rooms need coffee pots, darkening shades for front windows. Property is a five minute drive to the beach and 8 blks from historic downtown Ventura.

Customer service was great ! Friendly service

The hotel should be an old hotel, and the facilities look quite old; the location is good and parking is free. The disadvantage is that the breakfast is too simple and not fresh. In the United States, this type of room is generally equipped with a microwave oven, but they do not have a microwave oven. It is very inconvenient for late guests to heat up a quick meal.

Stayed here due to the proximity to Channel Islands access and the location cannot be beat! Staff is super friendly and go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that you have a comfortable stay. Our room was clean and spacious, but the resort is showing some wear and tear from age. Our server at breakfast was excellent. Hotel could use some updating, especially compared with the Holiday Inn Express. No laundry facilities on-site, though you are able to go to the HI Express to use their single washer and dryer! I would rate the property 4 stars, but given the excellent staff, it bumps up the experience to 5 star.

I used it for my husband and wife. Of course, it doesn't feel luxurious, but it's clean, it's taking measures against the coronavirus properly, and instead of having no breakfast buffet, I was very grateful to have a simple pick-up breakfast. (oatmeal, cereal, apple, yogurt, milk, hot coffee, etc.). By the way, it's a pandemic and it's difficult to eat out now, but there is a supermarket nearby for about 5 minutes by car, so it's convenient if necessary. The parking lot was $ 12 per night separately from the accommodation fee. Check-out is 11 o'clock and a little earlier than others, but it was good that the car was put in the parking lot during the day after check-out. Thanks to that, I was able to put my big luggage in the trunk of the car and go to nearby beaches and restaurants within walking distance before returning home. The room was originally booked with a harbor view room so I could see a very nice view from the balcony. The sunset was also beautiful. The room had a coffee machine, microwave and refrigerator in the queue. This was also good because the refrigerator was cooled with drinks. If you want to spend a relaxing time on the beach, Ventura is more small and calm than Santa Monica or Malibu. If you live near Los Angeles, you can travel on weekends very easily because it's about an hour by car. :)

We stayed here for a couple of nights for Memorial Day weekend. The ocean front suites we stayed in are on the first floor, which gave us a nice picnic area in front of our patio with a direct view of the sandy beach and ocean. We liked our room so much that we barely left it. The Ox and Ocean restaurant was only steps away, which made it really convenient to just order takeout and eat at our patio. The underground parking was also very convenient as it was just short flight of stairs or elevator ride to our room. Hotel staff was very courteous and accommodating to us when we requested a change of towels and toiletries during our stay. While we had some minor issues with the temperature controls in trying to keep the room cool at night, this was easily remedied by keeping the windows open and letting the cool breeze come in. Overall, you can't beat hearing watching and hearing the waves all day and night. We really enjoyed our stay here so much that we've booked another reservation again in a few weeks! Kudos to the staff at Zachari Dunes for an amazing experience!

We decided to go to Ojai for my wife's birthday on March 22, 2023. She thought it would be fun to stay in a place that was built the year she was born and so did I. The online photos and aesthetic are admittedly cool, but that where it ends. I get really peeved with a too cool for school” attitude in restaurants and other establishments in the hospitality space. That's this place. But aside from that vibe, there are HUGE issues with this “hotel” (motel really), chief of which are the PAPER THIN WALLS. Next is the bathroom. Remember. This renovation was done in 2020. So with Covid, wear and tear should be minimal by early 2023 when we visited. The bathroom door is made of particle board which was completely swollen and ruined by water damage from the shower that features a fitted glass wall that only covers half the stall. As a result water sprays all over the wall and floor and even if you try to use the bath mat, it's completely soaked after a shower. Poor, impractical design. The Daiken brand AC was also odd. I've used many mini-split systems, but this one did not feature a remote that operated as a thermostat. Sure, it had a temperature setting, but no readout out of what temperature the room was CURRENTLY at, so there is no way to know where to set the temp relative to that. The in-room coffee and tea consists of a kettle and instant coffee. No Nespresso or other coffee service found in other boutique hotels of this price range. I assumed they were encouraging us to come to the lobby to enjoy their coffee ”service” which features paper cups (okay fine) but no lids. Crazy. And Like seriously - do you think people aren't going to want to take their coffee away or back to the room? Where’s the kids?! Oh, and as a cherry on the top, add bad WiFi that only worked part of the time. Good thing our t-mobile data devices worked there. A cheap, ill-conceived cosmetic renovation does not a boutique motel make. Others have mentioned all of these things in prior reviews, so l'm not saying anything new here. Listen to them, and us. I don't know if there are better options in Ojai, but I know you should avoid the Capri.

It's the motel type. Advantages: The room is large. There is breakfast. This breakfast is better than a motel hotel. Hot water is available at all times and homemade biscuits are available in the afternoon. Disadvantages: poor cleaning and cobwebs on the lights. I asked to check out at 11 o'clock. I checked out at 11:40. I was charged a $5 overtime fee. The soundproofing is not good, but it is also a common problem in motels.

There are not many parking spaces inside, the roadside can be stopped at the door. The hotel is in the old town, a small street, very close to the expressway, but not noisy, about 1 km from Ole, the cafe next door is good, the road There is a self-service barbecue on the opposite side, which is also very good. It’s good to have a break or a shopping stop.
