The Expedia price was about $150 more than the property was charging that night, should have checked the BW website It was super convenient to downtown Ventura and very walkable. Beds were squeaky but staff was great and breakfast was pretty good.

Took the family for a quick couple day trip and stayed here with my child and dog. Very pleasant staff and hotel. Very animal friendly with park right across the street with play area for kids as well. Walking distance to the beach! If I visit this city again I will be staying here!

This location was probably one of the worst places to stay at. The staff was nice but the room was very uncomfortable. The bed was super tall and very, very soft that you sunk into it. There was a train that would go by. The walls were thin and you can hear the neighbors talking and doing stuff. I don't think I would stay at this location again.
