Hotels Near Central Shopping Center in Ventura

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 rooms look exactly like the internet pictures; very clean and newly updated. Don't let the outside of the building fool you , the price is unbeatable and the room was perfect. Suggestions: rooms need coffee pots, darkening shades for front windows. Property is a five minute drive to the beach and 8 blks from historic downtown Ventura.

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 location is easy to find, just across the road is the seaside, just park your car and walk past the hotel. On the first day I drove to the beach, I was charged a parking fee of $10. You must know that the beach was very cold and windy around 6 o'clock. I stayed for an hour at most, and $10 was too expensive. The next day was to go to the beach. The room is large, and the bathroom is especially large. There are toiletries, but no mineral water. The bed is also big enough for a family of three. The breakfast is richer, and the scrambled eggs and bacon areas need to show the hotel meal coupons and someone will help you serve them. The amount is relatively small, and they look unhappy. Not far from the surrounding area, there are Macy’s, Target, a Chinese restaurant. The Chinese food tastes slightly American and a bit sweet. The cost of the three dishes adds up to US$50, which is quite expensive.

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.

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.
