Top Ventura Hotel Reviews

Hotel Santa Barbara

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel with comfortable upgraded rooms, bikes to borrow, even a sparkling water dispenser on each floor."

The Pierpont Inn

8/10 Good

"Beautiful property in a great location near the beach. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The only complaint I would have was the breakfast was not very fresh. We threw away most of what we put on our plate. Seemed the food may have been prepared very early and kept in warmers for some time."
