Best Western Plus Inn of Ventura

The bedding chronically comes with holes burned in it by cigarettes. The Manager and assistant evidence no interest in running a first-class operation, albeit, the County of Ventura is paying top dollar for these rooms, rooms that are made available to folks who, for a variety of reasons, mostly economic, are in transition. There are no white people on staff and communication with the motel staff can be challenging, oftentimes pointless. Trains start sounding their airhorns at 0730 hrs., on into the late night. Great if you like train sounds,

1/2 the hotel is homeless staying in the rooms doing *********s! Room was very rundown and not very clean! Homeless also staying in motor homes outside the hotel grounds! For the price of the room I was expecting more!

We stayed one night while attending an event. The hotel was located within walking distance to the beach and shopping. Definitely not fancy but it was clean and comfortable.

The main benefit was its closeness to the pier and restaurants. The room was mediocre. The breakfast very weak. The coffee also was weak. There were no directions in the room for checkout. The person at the desk was brand new and dd not know what to do. The water pipes were noisy. I paid way too much money for a place like this.

We were disappointed upon check-in to learn there were no first floor rooms available, as we both have disabilities. Nor was there an elevator. When we asked for assistance with our ONE suitcase, person who checked us in told us no one could help us due to liability reasons. Fortunately for us, one of the housekeeping staff members assisted us when we asked her directly. The floor plan of the room was ideal with the sleeping and resting area (a chair) separated by a wall divider from the bathroom, closet and desk area. Appreciated the refrigerator and microwave in the room. The bathroom sink was very slow to drain even when just brushing our teeth. There was a huge stain n the carpet as we entered the room. Very unappealing wondering what was in the carpet. We wore shoes in the room at all times. The continental breakfast was ordinary and to be honest, I suspect it gave me food poisoning so I personally would recommend passing on it. Fortunately the property is conveniently located just a few blocks away from the main drag, which is lined with restaurants. Go there instead! The pool was not open to guests and this was not disclosed until we arrived. Probably would not have used it after seeing homeless people congregate night and day around the seating outside the pool entrance. Even though our schedule permitted us to stay several nights, we only stayed one night as there was absolutely nothing about this place to keep us (especially at nearly $200/night). When passing through this area in the future, we will find another accommodation.

Property was fine. Near the beach. There was a tenant that was a little sketchy but i stayed away from him. I only wish there was better parking closer to my room.

We stayed here on a road trip so thankfully it was only for one night. The room was clean BUT the window lock was broken and there was a building directly under our window where anyone could climb up and get inside. In fact there were discarded clothes on top of this building. We did not feel safe at all not to mention the shady looking people walking around. We were worried our car was going to be broken into during the night so we didn't sleep well. The staff was friendly and the hotel is within walking distance of all the downtown shops but I would not stay here again. For $220 a night I can stay at the Crowne plaza on the beach in a much nicer room.....

I arrived at 9pm, was given card key to my room, carried my stuff from the car, only to find the room had not been cleaned from the previous guest: bed was unmade, towels on the floor, garbage in the trash. I put my stuff back in the car, went to the front desk, only to find the receptionist had locked the lobby and gone on a break for 15 minutes. Once she opened up the lobby, I told her about the room. She complained to someone on the phone, but told me she didn't have another room. She offered to call La Quinta Hotel for me, but I declined because I didn't know anything about that hotel. I had to find another hotel after 9:30 pm, sleepy and with two dogs. I filed a complaint on Best Western's site a few days ago, but have not heard back yet.

Great view of the Ventura Pier from our room and really friendly staff. This is a perfect location for walkability.
