Budget Hotels in Ventura, California

"First red flag I should have know was the number listed was not answering 2 days prior to booking I left a message then realized when I got there and asked the number they had was different then the one listed on Expedia which i feel they use to their advantage. Upon arriving was hit with a “remaining balance” fee that I couldn’t get an understanding of aside of “this is because you booked through Expedia” after trying to understand for nearly 10 minutes going back and forth with the manager. She then tried to convince me that my stay for what I was getting was well worth it (her opinion) being that I had no choice but to pay or lose the total I had already put nearly $300, I paid. Got into the room to realize there was absolutely no AC but a small circulating fan luckily it’s not summer opened a few windows notice only 1 out of 5 had a screen. The beds weren’t very comfortable and to top it, all the complementary breakfast was was literally a bagel or a choice between 2-3 cereals. Not even a dining area for that either. There seemed to be a lot of sketchy people wandering at night and was a little worried leaving stuff in the room. This is not a place i recommended anyone unless it’s a very last resort and even still don’t expect much. There was only one staff member there that was helpful. Wi-Fi password wouldn’t connect due to the amount of devices already online. Being on the same block as the beach is probably the only positive thing and that’s me looking for one. "

"Restaurant was great. Good breakfast. Perfect location. Ocean view. Loved falling asleep to the sound of the waves. "

"Checking in was easy. I had a simple request to get a corner room and it was granted. But the best thing was the honesty and friendliness of the cleaning staff. On my way out I said good morning and told them I was leaving. So they went to clean my room, they saw some items I left behind (especially an expensive watch) and they tracked me down in the parking lot. That is 1000000% great customer service, an awesome human being, and definitely integrity. I would not have noticed for sometime. I will definitely be back over this small act of kindness. "

"Great hotel - centrally located, friendly staff, our stay was very enjoyable. We would definitely stay again."

"I was downstairs.. There was someone upstairs with heavy boots on clomping around half the nite and even when he(her) Was barefoot was very heavy footed.. Busy making noise allot of the nite.. Very irritating!! I came into Ventura because my dad is dieing.. Only good thing was the bed didn't hurt my hips. 😡"

"It was very disappointing experience.I stayed one night and paid about $160, but it didn't feel it was worth the price. First, there was not enough parking ,so I had no choice but to park on the street. Another issue was that there was no place to buy water. There was one vending machine, but it was broken,There was no nearby place to buy water, and even if there was, the area did not seem safe. As a result, I had to spend the night without water."

"My husband and I came to stay here for our honeymoon and we were so happy. Mickey, who checked us in at the front desk, was delightful! We got upgraded to a room with a patio (I don’t even think they knew it was our honeymoon, so that felt really lucky) and everything was clean and lovely. There was a full kitchen and full size refrigerator, a desk, robes, champagne glasses and an ice bucket, and a TV with a DVD player. This place has free dvd and bicycle rentals from the sister property next door, and we used both! We loved taking the bikes around town. They were all in good condition and had baskets on the front. I also loved the free breakfast in the morning and wine and cheese happy hour in the evenings. We felt right at home, and we would absolutely come back here again in the future. I forgot to mention that it’s VERY close to the ocean. On our first night, we did a full moon walk by the beach all the way down to the end of the wharf and had a romantic time snuggling and listening to seals barking. We spoke to a few people around town and when we mentioned Inn by the Harbor, everyone’s reaction was “that’s a lovely place to stay!” and we couldn’t agree more. Thank you Mickey and team!!"

"Clean, friendly staff, great location."

"Room had ocean view. "
