It was a cheap motel on the beach, not the Hilton. The staff was very friendly, the room was clean. What else do you need? I’ll definitely stay here again if I need a room in the area.

Lady at front desk is extremely discourteous and uncooperative. I booked this room on behalf of my nephew who needed a place to stay at the last minute. I booked it through
because it was very cheap. I provided my credit card information to hold the room and charge my card. Apparently I made an error in the booking process and chose that the guest would pay upon arrival rather than charge my credit card for the room. Nothing in my confirmation email from
specified this. When my nephew arrived the woman at the front desk right off the bat was extremely rude. He provided his confirmation # letting him know he had a reservation and room was paid for. They absolutely refused to listen to him as we tried to clarify the situation. They demanded that he «pay now!» and threatened him that they would forcibly remove him if he didn’t pay. I contacted
for their assistance to clarify the situation and ask that the hotel just charge my card. But the lady was rude to the
rep over the phone and was unwilling to listen or cooperate.
quickly canceled my reservation and advised that if this motel charges anything on my card, let them know so they can escalate it to their management. Terrible place! I ended up booking a room at Motel 6 instead without incident. Like Kaylee H. said in her review PAY THE EXTRA MONEY TO STAY AT THE MOTEL 6!

Couldn’t even check into the hotel WITH a reservation. Extremely rude Indian woman requires I’d from all customers. Couldn’t get a room because one of my friends only had a passport. Do not go here! RUUUUUUUUDE!!!

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Wouldn’t even give it one star! Rooms smelled like death & we’re very outdated. The hotel owners/​managers were absolutely unprofessional & extremely rude. As I was about to pull out of the parking lot the owner/​manager was apparently trying to get my attention & since I didn’t see her, she thought the best thing to do was beat her hand over & over on the hood of my car. Nearly called the cops, which I regret I didn’t now. They might have «cheaper» rooms but DO NOT EVER STAY HERE. It WILL be your worst experience ever!

The only good = Location
Rooms are bullshit. They look like crack houses inside. Don’t let the nice pictures fool you. The Indian lady is cool at the front desk, the man isn’t so nice on the phone. Didn’t see him so don’t know what he looks like. I called to confirm my reservation and the dude got mad lol…
Would I go back? Fuck no.
Pay the extra money and go across the street to vagabond or best western. Don’t make the mistake I did!
Oh, DID I MENTION BED BUGS???

Easily the worst hotel experiences I have ever had. The room reeked of stale smoke and was filthy. There was plaster and paint peeling off the wall, the linens were all stained, and there appeared to be blood on the the edge of the mattress. In my rush to leave (and hopefully not get hepatitis from the squalor), I forgot my electric toothbrush behind. When I called and politely ask if they had a lost and found, the woman I spoke to was extremely rude and hung up on me. When I called back she said to stop bothering her or she would call the police. Save yourself from a horrendous experience and book somewhere (anywhere) else.

This is a great place to catch hepatitis C. The rooms were absolutely filthy! Holes in the sheets. Dirt, not dust, on every hard surface. A full body condom would have come in handy.
And these treats were extended to the outside too. Crackhead and tweekers run around this place like pigeons in a Taco Bell parking lot.

Pay the extra money to stay at the Motel 6. Seriously. For the sake of all that is good and holy, PAY THE EXTRA MONEY TO STAY AT THE MOTEL 6.
First of all, the owners of this inexplicably-​in-​business motel had my review on
REMOVED because I must have struck a chord by informing people of my horrid experience here. I have tried to place another review but the site now will not let me. So let me warn you now, Unilocalers.
I am a frugal beach lover, and I have managed to stay at many different motels and inns near the coast for a comparable price to this one, and I have had much better, SAFER, and much CLEANER experiences elsewhere. This review is a 100% accurate and completely undramatized recollection of my stay at Travelers Beach Inn, a motel I try to forget most days.
I booked this hotel despite reading MANY horrifying reviews, but I figured since I had stayed at other places around the same price, I could handle it. And believe me, I am REALLY tolerant when it comes to travel accommodations. I have been to bad motels. This place is much worse than your worst motel nightmare, however, and I began to regret my decision immediately upon checking in. The owner was unwelcoming, cold, and the aroma coming from the office would have you believe the back room doubled as a manufacturing plant for curry powder. It was PUNGENT.
Ventura is beautiful, but something about this dilapidated hotel brought a trashy Stockton vibe to the whole block. When my boyfriend and I walked into our room, the smell of musty old food (or was it death?) filled the air, and we noticed a poorly maintained room with peeling paint on the walls, cigarette burns polka-​dotting the comforter, and a bathroom that I swear was the setting for a Saw movie. I was scared to sit on the toilet seat, so I did not the entire time. The tiles were cracked, there was MOLD and the grout was rotted/​rusted. Whatever room I stayed in was definitely NOT one pictured online for this motel. It was BAD and I’m pretty sure there were bedbugs. Not to mention the blood stains on the sheets. Every possible little detail that could have been disgusting absolutely was. The soap did not even lather. I seriously think this place has fake soap. To top it off, there was trash under the bed (which I didn’t notice till the next morning when I left), and really disturbing stains on the walls and carpet.
The run-​down motel room however, was nothing compared to the random meth addict that knocked on my door at midnight and insisted me and my boyfriend «had a problem» with her. We literally had no idea who this lady was, but she knocked on our door, told us she was staying in the room next door, and that she could hear us «talking about her» and that we ought to take up any of our «problems» with her to her face. We assured her that WE HAD NO IDEA WHO SHE WAS and were not looking to start any problems with her. She stood there for a minute and tried to fight with us, but we told her to leave and eventually she did. She then threw a bunch of blankets in front of our door and left us alone. At that point, we went to the front office to demand a refund, because I now felt unsafe with a crazed drug user trying to fight me, but the owner lady refused to honor a refund and instead assured me that I «could call the cops» if I needed to. UM, WOW THANKS LADY, I HAD NO IDEA I COULD NOT CALL THE COPS AT ALL PRIOR TO YOU FORCING ME TO STAY IN YOUR SICK MOTEL AFTER A DRUG USER THREATENED ME AND MY BOYFRIEND. She seemed to think her «permission» to call the cops was ample consolation for the troubles I endured with the psycho lady in the next room and the awful room I was booked into. Needless to say, I wasn’t about to find another room at 1 am, and deal with even more issues. We left as early as possible the next morning, and luckily the rest of our trip was great but the hotel definitely tarnished the whole experience. I really wanted to have a great experience and humbly deal with the run down motel, but this place was simply unacceptable.
I am still astounded at the lack of customer service this lady had, not giving me a full refund for dealing with all this. I could have put up with a roach motel, but forcing me to stay at your dump when another visitor was causing problems with me? Really? You think I’m going to pay for two hotel rooms and be okay with that? I am absolutely horrified every time I think of this experience, and I really hope no one else ever had to go through what I did. This place taught me a valuable lesson in booking hotel rooms online, and that is to pay a few extra bucks to ensure your own safety, and that the room your are getting isn’t a biohazard. I hope this place is shut down for the safety of all Ventura travelers.

A-​OK for what you pay.
It’s hardly an «Inn» but it complimented my Nardfest weekend well & it was walking distance to everywhere I was going, including the pier for mimosas & breakfast on Sunday. Oh California, how I love thee!
The place has been well-​used over the years & it really shows — cracked bathroom floor tiles, a broken switch plate, a red paint smear on the floor (no it wasn’t blood, ha!) & a wall mounted headboard with no bed (I guess it was a 2 double-​bed room at some point), just to name a few things.
So were there any pluses? Yep!
* comfortable bed
* huge closet (though it would have been nice to have a light in there).
* mini fridge & microwave
* ocean visable from the second floor room
* killer a/​c! cranked away all weekend at 60 degrees. It was hot for Ventura & the humidity was seriously unpleasant; having such effective a/​c was great.
*no evidence of the roaches or bed bugs that other Unilocalers experienced, woo hoo!
* the woman manning the front desk was very sweet & welcoming, making check-​in a breeze. Her husband (or maybe a relative) was quiet & check-​out with him was even easier, just had to turn in the room key. The lobby did smell strongly of Indian food but you’re only in there a few minutes.
* a little seating area above the office where you can see the ocean & hang out. It was perfect for a late evening snack from Corrales Mexican Food up a few blocks.
If you know Ventura, you know meth & transients are prevalent in the area where this hotel is located but all was quiet.
Would I stay here again? If I needed an inexpensive room & similarly priced hotels (like the Vagabond) weren’t available, sure.

This hotel is a pigs pen. Dirt carpets, drapes torn, wall paper peeling. I can go on but you get the idea.

I booked here because it’s super cheap and and I was gonna show up late and have to leave early. My reservation was for 3pm but traffic and stops woulda meant arriving at 10pm. I called at 9pm. No answer. I left a message, no response. I showed up and office was closed. Save yourself the hassle. Pay extra.

Location, location, location!
Yes, there are negative reviews about this hotel however I experienced the complete opposite. The rooms are dated and need some repairs but for the price and location, you simply can’t beat the price.
Inexpensive hotel just 5 mins drive from Buenaventure Beach with free parking. It’s a nice, clean, and simple hotel in the heart of downtown. Easy access to freeways, harbor, pier, and the beach. Check-​in & check-​out was a breeze, they even allow patrons to check out the rooms prior to booking. The owners are friendly especially the wife, she was talkative and personable.

This place is absolutely disgusting. Boyfriend and I are currently here for one night to take care of some family business and are on a budget. We found this place on
and took the amazing price of $ 55 a night. WORST decision ever. I wish we’d waited to book a room until we got here because the other motels look significantly better around here. We brought our own pillows and sheets to sleep on. I still feel like I woke up with bed bug or roach bites. Floor is disgusting. Bathroom has molded/​mildew covered tiles. Areas of the room have not been touched by any type of cleaning spray/​rag for decades it looks like. Beds are horrible… The squeak like you wouldn’t believe and you can feel the springs. The curtains have holes in them. There are stains in the paint that I cannot identify. The other guests here look questionable and I’m currently afraid of going outside my room. I’m not sure if this place is up to code what so ever… It’s so gross. Only plus side is that we can walk to the beach from here.
The front desk lady was kind to us though. She let us check in early and even gave us ice from her home. No complaints about her service, it’s just her establishment that is completely disgusting.

I was refused service because I have a service dog.
If you have any type of service dog you are NOT allowed to stay at this hotel.
called to verify the room and she was told by the owner that they do NOT allow any type of service animal at their hotel.
I called the hotel myself and ask to do to the manager. The lady (if that’s what you want to call her) was so rude to me. I asked her about a guide dog for the blind and she refused me. I told her that was against the ADA she hung up on me.
I called back and she wouldn’t say anything just set the phone down on counter and hung up
Please report her to the ADA handicapped people with the service dogs should not be treated this way in this day and age.
If she wants to run s business here in the states she needs to abide by the rules.

Absolutely the worst motel or «Inn» I’ve ever stayed at. My husband and I were in the area and decided we wanted to stay near the beach. We chose this place because it was very cheap and since it was last minute, we decided to give it a try. Never again. The man at the front desk didn’t even greet us when we walked in, he just stared at us. I then told him we wanted to check in and he only said «ID» then handed me a paper to fill out, after i did that and he copied my ID and card, he handed us a key without even telling us the room or the location of the room.
When we got to our room it was insanely gross looking. The carpet was coming up, the shower seemed to have grime all over it, the walls of the room looked dirty, and the carpet looked disgusting. I’m 5’5″ and the shower went to my neck and my poor husband, at 6’3″ couldn’t even manage to get in and shower comfortably when he tried to take a shower in the morning. I didn’t even want to take my socks off and walk around and I literally slept on top of the covers. I would rather pay 3 times more and stay somewhere that I won’t feel like I would be taking bed bugs home with me.

Want to see what your parents stayed in back in 70, s well here it is. We were scared to stay here. The women who checked us in is loony tunes. Bring a sleeping bag and your own pillows. We paid $ 66.00 a night and I should have stayed in my car. The pool has 3 chairs that I would not dare sit on. There are lots of homeless people near this place. I was sure our car would be broken into that night. Scary, scary place. Be warned.

This place is trash the rooms are disgusting they stunk like mildew! Tile was cracked in the bathroom I almost cut my foot! The carpets were wet We wore shoes anytime we had to walk on it! the staff very unprofessional and rude! I am warning you do not stay here!!! To top it off they charged me for two nights and I only stayed one ! I am still trying to get a refund for the second night! I’d rather sleep in my car!!!

This place is garbage. I’ve noticed that a majority of the past reviews say the management here is rude, well it’s true. The room was really gross and dirty, stained carpets, holes in sheets, plaster coming off the walls. The whole second floor smells of smoke and tobacco. They advertise that they have «Free High Speed Wireless Internet,» however it has taken me forever just to post this review haha. For $ 55 you get what you pay for.
Tip: bring a scented candle or fabreeze to mask the smell of smoke that wafts throughout the rooms.

these people are rude. it’s almost as if they were trying to persuade our party of 4 from Los Angeles to rent a room elsewhere. Ann was rude the guy yelling from the back was ruder.
Then the roaches and bed bugs seem to bite us as soon as we sat on the bed. Never go here. if I could give zero stars I would.
