“This property stands out for its exceptional staff, particularly the front desk team, who are consistently accommodating. Its proximity to Ventura State Beach and downtown Ventura adds to its appeal. While the absence of in-room microwaves may pose a minor inconvenience, the overall experience is elevated by the updated facilities and family-friendly atmosphere.”
