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.

Location, location. This is a very old motel that is one block from the beach and one block for town in the other direction. We were in room 26 and both beds were very, very comfortable. The bathroom was clean, with plenty of towels. The only thing I would change would be the old carpeting. They felt damp to your feet but they weren’t. Tile or faux wood floors would make this place a perfect 10.
