Hotels Near Island cruise in Ventura

Wow! I wasn’t prepared for how nice this motel was, even after reading the reviews. The rooms are truly wonderful, boutique style without the outrageous price of a boutique hotel. They are spacious and spotlessly clean, something that is really important to me! The bed was quite honestly the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in on this trip (a 3 week road trip) and the sheets etc. and towels are top quality. Although there aren’t mini fridges in the rooms, I imagine that the new owners will probably eventually install them - in my opinion, the most important things have been done, complete renovations to the rooms in what was an older motel (which I do love) and a level of comfort and cleanliness that is top notch. We went for a walk in the neighbourhood, which felt very safe, and had dinner in a fantastic Mexican restaurant a few blocks down the road, called Casa de Soria. Honestly, I can’t recommend this motel (and restaurant) enough!

Anybody that reads my hundred plus review will notice I'm very fair and seldom complain But in this case travelers must be warned . The attendants at this once lovely hotel admit they rarely if ever pick up the phone to take reservation then when the call defaults to third party site they have no intention of honoring any arrangement .We were promised and charged in advance for king suite yet when we arrived were told we had ordered a standard room with two queen beds .Being a reasonable person I pointed out that we had been charged for suite and were taking a lesser room we expected a lower rate , at this point the attendant for no reason said I called her ***** and she was calling the cops . WTH I said then she stated ” well you were about to call me a ***** so take the room or leave it and fight the discount out with the third party site .I asked to see the room and she said nope ! in her words I could wait for the manager but most likely they would rent the room before she got in .I asked if I could tenths room on a nightly basis she said nope I could fight that out with Expedia .i asked if I could get a quote for the room to show to Expedia again the answer was nope . When finally did see the manager she was as aggressive as the attendant .Rather than hello she greeted me with ” oh your the guy trying to cause trouble ” She did finally admit I was over paying by 250 dollars a night for the room but would give me no paper work to prove it . Potential customers should also be warned this is a three story hotel with no elevators the main restaurant which is temporarily closed has been fenced off eye sore for over 2 years and the free breakfast is served on the farthest end of the property and in my opinion not worth the walk .I won't say the property is in poor condition as the gardens and rooms are not horrible . The attitude of the staff is appalling and I see?from other reviews my experience isn't uncommon so beware if you don't get a reservation directly from the hotel run from this place they seem to take special pleasure in ripping travelers off .

The breakfast is average and the environment is very good. The door is the seaside. The restaurant is just a few minutes' drive. Many restaurants in different countries recommend a Japanese restaurant on the side of the road. Very American-style Japanese food.

The hotel should be an old hotel, and the facilities look quite old; the location is good and parking is free. The disadvantage is that the breakfast is too simple and not fresh. In the United States, this type of room is generally equipped with a microwave oven, but they do not have a microwave oven. It is very inconvenient for late guests to heat up a quick meal.

We stayed here for a couple of nights for Memorial Day weekend. The ocean front suites we stayed in are on the first floor, which gave us a nice picnic area in front of our patio with a direct view of the sandy beach and ocean. We liked our room so much that we barely left it. The Ox and Ocean restaurant was only steps away, which made it really convenient to just order takeout and eat at our patio. The underground parking was also very convenient as it was just short flight of stairs or elevator ride to our room. Hotel staff was very courteous and accommodating to us when we requested a change of towels and toiletries during our stay. While we had some minor issues with the temperature controls in trying to keep the room cool at night, this was easily remedied by keeping the windows open and letting the cool breeze come in. Overall, you can't beat hearing watching and hearing the waves all day and night. We really enjoyed our stay here so much that we've booked another reservation again in a few weeks! Kudos to the staff at Zachari Dunes for an amazing experience!

Advantages: The hotel is a 10-minute drive from Camarillo Ole. The rooms are large, the facilities are new, the service staff is friendly and suitable for shopping transit. There are supermarkets, fast food restaurants and gas stations nearby, which is convenient for self-driving. Disadvantages: No breakfast, Starbucks on the first floor can be solved, or choose a breakfast shop next to the hotel's office parking lot. It tastes good and can be found with yelp.

I am so disappointed in the Hiltons for allowing all the rooms to have pets. I don't care how clean the animal is and that you take a deposit. Animals leave hair and smells. Our room smelled a little when we first came in but smelt like cleaning chemicals. My husband went to bed right away and sat around for a while and I started sneezing. Then i thought a smelled pee. I went to bed. I woke up all night smelling pee and dog. then I got up to go to the bathroom and the carpet was wet. I guess they had just cleaned the floors and tried to get the smell out. It didn't work. It was disgusting. I woke up with a horrible headache, They did give us another room the next day that didn't smell like animals. Come on Hilton you need to designate certain rooms for animals.

The location of this hotel is very close to the beach, about five minutes walk, bigger than other similar hotel rooms I have stayed in, overall very comfortable, breakfast is a standard American breakfast, you can find a restaurant across the road

If you are on a budget, looking for a no-frills place to stay in the Oxnard/Camarillo/Ventura area, this hotel would be hard to beat for the price. Pool was small but clean, bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. No continental breakfast here, but there are many places to eat neary. Gas stations also nearby.
