Very nice hidden hotel near Ventura pier
"Very nice hotel that is right by Ventura pier and in the heart of downtown Ventura. It is a bit hidden which was actually kind of nice and the pedestrian bridge to get to the pier and beach is only a 10 minute walk. The room was very spacious and had a mini fridge and microwave which was awesome. ..."
