It was nice, but stay there again.
Pros:

Conveniently located walking distance to the pier , the beach & several restaurants.

Cons:

The gentleman who checked us in said three words to me, no personality. Didn’t tell us where our room was located. Didn’t tell us where to park. Didn’t smile again zero personality.

Also, our room had an odd smell, kind of musty. The floor in the shower was extremely slippery.

This hotel is the best kept secret in Ventura. Amazing location close to everything!
Pros:

The breakfast was amazing, so much variety. The staff in the cafeteria was extremely professional and attentive. JUAN made sure everything was always filled. He was gracious and a true asset. Also, the gentleman on duty at the front desk JUN 26-28 (Jason, I believe was his name) was also very helpful and professional.

Cons:

I'm not sure if there was a gym. If there was, I didn't see any signs or arrows!
