For the price it was a good deal..My room although it smelt good ( which is important to me) was somewhat outdated....the 1st night I was awakened by police out in parking lot trying to calm a loud person who was screaming at another , they were on the roof above my room at one point. I mentioned it to the owners in the morning thinking that they'd maybe give me a credit or something for the inconvenience but they offered nothing.

Liked: Staff & service

Price was good, but room was a challenge.

The location was great, the bed was clean and comfortable and we appreciated the fridge and microwave. However, the tub didn’t drain so we stood in calf-deep water while showering. The room was hot and we couldn't figure out how the heater worked. There was a coffee maker, but only enough regular coffee for one cup.

Ventura Motel - yikes!

We were told on arrival that they had NOT been paid for the night even though I had the receipt in my hand. I had to contact hotels.com to correct the situation, but even then, they continued to claim they were not paid. We had to deal with the manager at least 3 times before the problem was resolved (we think - because we were never informed that it had been).

Pictures posted online of the property are not even close to what is available. We went to the office to notify our bathroom sink is clogged… response was no, i checked it last night, not addressed, still clogged when we left. Nothing like spitting toothpaste in the toilet. Only toiletries in the room was conditioner. Only coffee in the room was 1 decaf and plastic glasses. Enough said.

we had a home emergency and needed to get a room for the night when it was already late. Ventura had an affordable room ready to go. the motel is very much a classic old style motel. there aren't crazy amenities or anything like that but the room was quiet, comfortable and affordable. If you need a fancier place there are plenty of options but if you don't need a bunch of bells and whistles this was great.

Please update property

This hotel is not supposed to be five star, but it could use an update….for example, the stairs to the second floor, could use a fresh coat of paint, there was paint flacking and chipping off the steps….the fitted sheet doesn’t fit the mattress. Found a used can behind microwave….but, it was quite, which is important to me…the room was spacious in size.
