Unpleasant stay

Unfortunately this wasn’t a good stay. Greeting wasn’t as pleasant to be honest. She asked if I had a PE and I said yes so she said there will be a fee, but never asked me if I had a service dog or not. Which I do. The bathtub was dirty on the side of the tub, there were lots of dust bunnies and the counters weren’t as clean. There was a blackout and our entire stay was in the dark. There was no breakfast available, we rented a movie in our streaming devices that we couldn’t finish watching, couldn't charge our phones, it was really hot and stuffy in our room, our food in the refrigerator spoiled, so needless to say this special occasion turned out to be an awful experience.

The hotel was good. The front desk person kept insisting we had only paid for 2 of our 3 rooms upfront even after presenting them with receipts. So that was a little frustrating. Other than that, the location is very convenient.

Hotel is so close to the Pier , (quite awesome). We had a great time at Main Street which is so close to the hotel . We walked to the Mission ( my favorite Mission so far , they have a nice garden and on Sundays, more coffee self serve after the mass and food . A very pleasant short walk with stops at Cafes ( Loved it ) restaurants, shopping ( Antiques , thrift shops and gift shops ). We truly enjoyed our overnight stay. Will be back again. Easy parking too and good breakfast.

If you are mold sensitive, this was a great find, at least for me. The rooms had all been remodeled. That often doesn't mean much for me. However eveything in the room looked new and I felt fine there. The cleaning staff were very courteous. The front desk was OK.

A great stay at the Ventura Best Western. The staff was friendly and very accomodating. The rooms were spotless. A yummy breakfast of bacon, sausage, omelets, scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, cereals, waffles, fruit and more. It was obvious the staff takes pride in keeping their guests happy. A great place to stay.
