First off I stayed here knowing it was a budget motel, I mean I'm pretty sure it's in the description. It is a block from the beach, and also within walking distance to a nice coffee shop, convenience stores, restaurants, and downtown Ventura. The cleanliness of the room wasn't bad overall. It was clean. There was no free breakfast and also no laundry or hair dryer. But also, you can't complain about location or price. It's nothing fancy but also staying there for 4 nights only cost me $300. I would definitely stay again given I needed a budget motel in southern California. The staff was friendly as well, the lady at the front was pretty funny and laid back. All in all, not a terrible place to stay...as I said...I knew it was a budget motel.
