Clocktower Inn Ventura

Clocktower Inn Ventura

8/10 Good
"Great location and friendly staff, the bed was comfy. The toilet was very slow filling when I flushed. There is an elevator which is a plus. I came during Ventura Fair. The parking lot was full I had to park outside which is fine there parking spots next to the hotel. There is. Jacuzzi on site not so great for a 6 year old. So we did not use. The continental breakfast was very basic don't expect anything better than the waffles . I did not appreciate some guest smoking Marijuana in their balcony. I think the property manager needs to police that. Overall it was good for Motel pretending to be Inn."

Crowne Plaza Ventura Beach by IHG

Crowne Plaza Ventura Beach by IHG

8/10 Good
"Nice location close to the beach. Restaurants close to the hotel. Pool is nice and heated. My only concern was the parking. Valet is next to the hotel. Paid parking was at the park entrance about a half mile away from the hotel. You then drive to a structure that is not attached to the hotel but one building away from the it’s fine if you don’t have much luggage as it’s a short walk,however we ended up parking on the third level our second night there and the elevator does not work. Had I known, I’d have opted for valet on our first night. Not good for someone with bad knees. Structure is operated by the city. Lots of construction happening so the close driveway was blocked which is why you drive so far to enter. Had I known, I’d have stayed elsewhere. When it’s finished, I’m sure it will be fine."

Zachari Dunes on Mandalay Beach, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful property. On the expensive side but well worth it. I got a basic king suite and it was perfect. The pool area was great for the kids with plenty of space and loungers. I loved that they had a staff member whose only job was to offer treats, tennis balls and pup cups to guests with dogs, so cute! 10/10 The young man at the valet was especially helpful and nice"
