Ventura 3 Stars Hotels

"Property location is fabulous. Hotel sits right on the beach and the noise from the surf fills the air. Because there are a lot of rocks, it's not an undulating surf, it's loud and it's constant. I like it. The property itself though leaves a lot to be desired. It wasn't third world filthy, but it wasn't very clean. Floors were very dirty. Window sills were also dirty. Baseboards were dirty. Bedding and linens seemed fine. Lots of deferred maintenance. Many things were broken or in bad repair. Bathroom faucet handles were barely hanging on. Marble backsplash was cracked. There was dry rot present in door casings and baseboards. Toilet seat was hanging on by a thread. Shower surround was worn and there was drywall damage and mold at the top. The walls are VERY thin and if the ocean-facing window is closed, the sounds of the surf are replaced by the sounds of the freeway which is <100 feet away from the front of the property. The rooms have a feel of an owner that's no longer putting any $$ into the property and is simply looking to sell it ASAP."

"Not a great location. Too close to interstate so air is polluted and it’s noisy. Interior design and choice of colors is distressing. Grey,dark red ,dark wood tones which makes everything look unclean and unhappy. Needs a refresh to get a recommendation Nice interior courtyard but something about the property was off and uninspiring. "

"It's right on the beach and close to a few eateries/coffee."

"Staff was very nice but Our Room had a dirty bathroom and dirty floors. It’s very outdated and smelled dusty. Loud AC unit, bed and pillows were horrible too. Too expensive for what it offers. Basic continental breakfast. Reviews on this hotel must be fake because there is no way it was worth more than 1 or two stars. Parking is awful, we had to go park at the museum parking lot next to the hotel, which it took us 10 minutes to walk from because the parking is a public parking lot where they also hold receptions for weddings and other events. Not recommended."

"Beautiful place. No elevator for handicap or people with disabilities. You can pay extra for ground floor. They should let you know when booking. Paid 298.00 was not going to pay anything move. I struggled with stairs. Breakfast was great."

"Great place will stay again, the lobby coffee was far better than the trendy coffee shop across the road, and the bar person could mix a great cocktail, at a great price too. They welcomed our dog with treats and scratches, valet parking was convenient. Would recommend hotel Santa Barbara to anyone."
