Hotels Near WinCo Foods in Ventura

Anybody that reads my hundred plus review will notice I'm very fair and seldom complain But in this case travelers must be warned . The attendants at this once lovely hotel admit they rarely if ever pick up the phone to take reservation then when the call defaults to third party site they have no intention of honoring any arrangement .We were promised and charged in advance for king suite yet when we arrived were told we had ordered a standard room with two queen beds .Being a reasonable person I pointed out that we had been charged for suite and were taking a lesser room we expected a lower rate , at this point the attendant for no reason said I called her ***** and she was calling the cops . WTH I said then she stated ” well you were about to call me a ***** so take the room or leave it and fight the discount out with the third party site .I asked to see the room and she said nope ! in her words I could wait for the manager but most likely they would rent the room before she got in .I asked if I could tenths room on a nightly basis she said nope I could fight that out with Expedia .i asked if I could get a quote for the room to show to Expedia again the answer was nope . When finally did see the manager she was as aggressive as the attendant .Rather than hello she greeted me with ” oh your the guy trying to cause trouble ” She did finally admit I was over paying by 250 dollars a night for the room but would give me no paper work to prove it . Potential customers should also be warned this is a three story hotel with no elevators the main restaurant which is temporarily closed has been fenced off eye sore for over 2 years and the free breakfast is served on the farthest end of the property and in my opinion not worth the walk .I won't say the property is in poor condition as the gardens and rooms are not horrible . The attitude of the staff is appalling and I see?from other reviews my experience isn't uncommon so beware if you don't get a reservation directly from the hotel run from this place they seem to take special pleasure in ripping travelers off .

Breakfast is a normal American breakfast with leeks and fruit. The exterior is a motel, and the internal hygiene and management are upgraded. The cotton fabric is good and the toiletries are sufficient. Very good value for money. There seems to be a long whistle around the whistle, and I have to bicker from time to time. I will still choose here next time I come to Ventura.

The location is easy to find, just across the road is the seaside, just park your car and walk past the hotel. On the first day I drove to the beach, I was charged a parking fee of $10. You must know that the beach was very cold and windy around 6 o'clock. I stayed for an hour at most, and $10 was too expensive. The next day was to go to the beach. The room is large, and the bathroom is especially large. There are toiletries, but no mineral water. The bed is also big enough for a family of three. The breakfast is richer, and the scrambled eggs and bacon areas need to show the hotel meal coupons and someone will help you serve them. The amount is relatively small, and they look unhappy. Not far from the surrounding area, there are Macy’s, Target, a Chinese restaurant. The Chinese food tastes slightly American and a bit sweet. The cost of the three dishes adds up to US$50, which is quite expensive.

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.

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!

This hotel has a great history and the staff are fantastic human beings. Very peaceful and extremely nice folks. I have frequented this hotel for over 25 years. The management, the breakfast folks are wonderful. I enjoy the rest and relaxation and more importantly the air is the best at this location.

Typical HIE, nothing great. First when checking in, my profile which specifically asks for a room located near the elevator (and even though I'm a Spire Elite) the front desk clerk never acknowledged my status and proceeded to give me the furthest room from the elevator which was quite far away at the other end of the building. I think he was traumatized by Covid-19 as he was totally PPE'd up including ridiculous looking snorkeling goggles. The room was decent but many electrical outlets didn't work and overall the room was quite dark unless you went around a found all the ”mood” lighting space around the room. The bathroom has the most pathetic water spout in the sink, the kind you get in the airports that supposed work when you put your hands underneath. It didn't work well and came out in FULL force that you couldn't adjust. So if you want to brush your teen, you have to wave your hand underneath the spout, hope it ”senses” the movement and then the water blasts out and maybe it will get warm before it shuts off. It's the most poorly designed faucet I have ever used, one absolutely nobody would have in their home and most certainly should not be in the hotel. Pathetic.

The location of this hotel is very close to the beach, about five minutes walk, bigger than other similar hotel rooms I have stayed in, overall very comfortable, breakfast is a standard American breakfast, you can find a restaurant across the road

If you are on a budget, looking for a no-frills place to stay in the Oxnard/Camarillo/Ventura area, this hotel would be hard to beat for the price. Pool was small but clean, bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. No continental breakfast here, but there are many places to eat neary. Gas stations also nearby.
