maria, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Total hidden gem just off the 101 in Ventura. Feels like a time warp in the best way—think ‘60s beach motel meets vintage Hawaii. Super peaceful, no road noise, just ocean waves right outside your window (which you can actually open!). Rooms are clean, vibe is chill, views are unreal. Great dinner spot downstairs and free continental breakfast. Only gripe: no in-room coffee and none available till 7:30am. Still, I’d come back in a heartbeat.
Bill, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, right next to a beach. The pool was amazing. The only weird thing was we paid extra for a sea facing room but all rooms they had were sea facing. Unfortunately our rooms view was a but blocked at it was in the corner

Oceanside hotel right off 101.

Lovely location with ocean views -- fall asleep to the crash of waves. Easy drive into Ventura for restaurants and ferries. Very helpful front desk staff. Excellent dinner at the in-house restaurant -- enjoyed dining outdoors, watching the ocean. The rooms are simple and could use some updating, but we didn't spend much time in the room.

Stress relieving stay

Our favorite getaway! Hot water in shower an issue AGAIN, (every stay), but overall a beautiful stay. Shoals restaurant was a disappointment. Service was slow and just average. Understaffed. Paper menus, really? Food was good, not excellent. Besides all that, overall a beautiful property. Needs some work, but we will return.
Dominic P, 2-night trip

Beautiful view!!
Lauryn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Hot water suddenly became cold many times during showers, parking during restaurant hours was abysmal, and the continental breakfast left a lot to be desired (an inn with its own restaurant should offer more). But being able to leave windows open throughout my entire stay, and falling asleep to the surf every night, made up for these deficiencies. Overall I would recommend staying here, as long as you're okay without certain creature comforts.
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Dated but delightful

Amazing view. Waves pounding on the rocks. Exceptional dining. Beautiful pool. The rooms however are clean but dated with few amenities. I measured the distance from the shower head to the drain was 5’2”. I’m not saying the rooms need a major overhaul but the little persons shower head needs replacing and relocating. Also like many shoreline hotels, no AC. However because of the incredible view and dining we will stay here again.
