“This refurbished hotel possesses an understated elegance, a refreshing departure from the ordinary. Its vintage roots are evident, yet there's a contemporary feel that sets it apart in Ventura. Honestly, the option to unwind on the patio, enjoying fine meats and cheeses, while watching downtown unfold is worth the price of admission alone.”
