The location is relaxing and the restaurant food is great. Hope they have aircon in room and the breakfast should be continental not just grab and go.

Second year coming back to our little home away from home. We come here because it’s a little spot of paradise in an already busy and ever growing state. Makes it feel like we aren’t in California.

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.

I liked the quiet and privacy of the location. Staff were friendly and helpful. Although the rooms are very comfortable, It is a old hotel so there are dings in the walls and baseboards, so ants came in. The ants were quickly taken care of. I would always choose to stay here If they were dog friendly.
