Clocktower Inn Ventura

Clocktower Inn Ventura

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and quaint. There were some small maintenance tweaks that could have made the stay more enjoyable. For example the recessed lighting directly above the bed doesn't have a lens cover, so you see right into the lightbulb. The refrigerator was making a loud gurgling sound continuously which wasn't a dealbreaker for us as we have a fountain outside of our window at our home and it could almost sound like one, but can imagine it could be challenging for someone else. The staff were friendly and the location was great as it was walking distance to shops and restaurants. An historic building which had a nice solarium atrium which was enjoyable in the mornings, the breakfast was standard."

Hotel San Buena

Hotel San Buena

8/10 Good
"Hotel San Buena is a beautifully restored location with modern amenities. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the temperature controlled room was perfect. The staff were incredibly thoughtful and kind and helpful. And little touches like turn down service (a little treat in the evening) and filtered water on the rooms were very nice. My only complaint was that the Historic room is directly below a walkway and directly next to a gate that leads to the outdoors. We could hear people walking and the heavy metal gate slam shut as early as 7am and as late as 10pm. Other than this our stay was ideal."

10/10 Excellent
"The staff is so friendly. They are personable and really take the time to explain everything . You can’t beat the location . The ocean sounds out you straight to bed and the view is second to none. At night time there is a bright light that shines into the sea. It’s a great view to enjoy where you are at. The breakfast is more than I thought they would have. I enjoyed coffee, orange juice, yogurt, a Bagel with cream cheese and 2 hard boiled eggs… I loved it so much that I rebooked another night!"

Motel 6 Ventura, CA - Beach

Motel 6 Ventura, CA - Beach

8/10 Good
"Good value. Nothing fancy... at all, but gets it done, some someone going just to spend the night and nothing else. Room is clean in general. However... I saw couple ants when arrived. Next day, there were more inside and into my cooler where I left ziplocs with traces of sweet. I didn't mind, but I am sure some people would find this unacceptable, gross, a disaster, etc. Not me. Not ideal, but it wasn't something that scared me away from the room... for me. Sooo... I strongly suggest perform proactive fumigation periodically. Objectively, this shouldn't happen in this day and age, in any hotel/motel. Yea, it should be called "unacceptable". Ice makers were not fully operational. One broken, and the other limping. Nice detail to provide free coffee... but once committed, you have to deliver. I went for my coffee, and all three carafes were empty... disappointing. If you won't keep them full, I strongly suggest not offering coffee at all... or... remove the carafes immediately after empty. I would leave better impression"
