Top Downtown Ventura Hotel Reviews

Vagabond Inn Santa Barbara - Carpinteria North

10/10 Excellent

"For first time here everything was smooth and nice clean quite area."

Good Nite Inn Camarillo

10/10 Excellent

"This is a budget-friendly hotel that met all my expectations - welcoming staff, clean room, comfy bed, and great shower head pressure. I wasn't looking for any extra amenities and this Inn was on point with all the essentials for a restful night. If you're looking for an excellent value, the Good Nite Inn is exactly that."

Amanzi Hotel, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"The pros: The bed was very comfortable and the free complimentary full breakfast was great to come across as nowadays you only see continental breakfast in hotels. All the staff were very nice and the hotel itself was very beautiful with plenty of parking. The cons: The room smelled like an old closet we hung a car freshener by the A/C and it helped tremendously. Other downside is maybe having families with young children stay on the first floor. We didn’t get the best rest as kids were constantly running upstairs."

Motel 6 Ventura, CA - Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This Motel 6 is the perfect location you can see the ocean on The back fence and the guy who runs it is awesome he's not all up in everybody's business but he just maintains it as long as you do what you're supposed to do meaning leave when you're supposed to leave and don't mess things up or break things he doesn't trip on you very quiet and all the cleaning ladies are awesome too they do amazing job on the rooms"

The Pierpont Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had an extraordinary time! We want to thank Marci (I apologize if I am spelling your name wrong). Her vivacious personality and dedication to the Inn made our stay wonderful. She even took the time to take us on a small tour, which started the most incredible adventure. My mom and I are part of a paranormal team. During the tour, a spirit opened the room where Mrs. Vickers passed away. There was no one around us, and when Marci looked inside, the room was completely empty. We were out of site of the room for only a minute! Later that night, we investigated the Rose Garden to make contact with the spirits of the Inn. My mother successfully connected a spirit and followed it to the end of the pathway before losing the connection. Around 10:30 PM, we headed back to our hotel room, where something amazing happened. We had placed the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the outside of the door, but when we arrived, it was missing. We assumed it fell off or blew away, but when we opened the door, we were flabbergasted to find it lying midway in the entry. At first, we thought someone had played a practical joke, but everything else was exactly as we left it. We noticed some smudges on the card and wondered if someone had pushed it under the door. However, when we tried to push it through ourselves, we found our logical explanation was wrong. To our utter amazement, we proved a card could barely fit under the door frame. So how did it get inside our room midway through the entry? "
