Our room, while simple and dated, was very clean and comfortable. The location along the water is stunning and unique. Dinner was delicious and our wait staff friendly and professional. We could not say the same for the hotel staff. No one answered our several phone calls that day at the front desk. Check-in service...well, it was bad. It was the weirdest, worst check-in experience I have ever had, hands-down. When we arrived at the desk to check in, there was an adult woman sprawled on the floor under the counter with a large purse, two phones she was charging from a wall outlet, notebooks. etc. She was so completely and aggressively occupying the narrow space beneath and in front of the counter that I had to lean out in space over her to give my ID and card to the woman checking me in. I muttered a polite "pardon me" as I tried to brace myself and sign papers and also not touch her, but other than that neither the hotel employee (who was definitely aware of the situation) nor the woman on the floor offered an apology or acknowledged the situation at all. It took a long time to complete the process, with the employee retreating into an office several times while we stood over and too close to the woman on the floor for an embarrassing length of time. It had a feeling of unreality, like a scene from a developing country rather than a hotel on a prime piece of California coastline. Rude and so so strange, but it didn't ruin an otherwise lovely stay. Your mileage may vary...

Everything was amazing, beautiful evening on the water with a gorgeous pool and excellent dining. Only complaint is that the rooms are very outdated and the pillows and beds are not comfortable, we struggled to sleep.

This place on the coast above Ventura is truly amazing. It has a warm, family like atmosphere, beautiful pool right along the edge of the bluff, and some of the best food I’ve ever had. The views out into the Pacific revealed dolphins, California Sea Lions, many kinds of birds. But what makes the place so special is the staff, the fresh continental style breakfast spread, ample hours for leisurely dining outdoors or in, late checkout time, plenty of beach chairs for pool or garden lounging, and the lovely immaculately maintained pool, large enough for laps.

The property has a wonderful view of the Santa Barbara Channel, with many of the rooms having ocean views. The pool and outdoor sitting area was nice and the rooms were charming. The parking at night is very tight due to the restaurant and it can be hard to find spots. Also, it would be nice if the breakfast in the morning had more options for those with allergies. There was very little gluten-free options.

This a great Hotel setting between Ventura and Santa Barbara. It's an older place, but kept in excellent condition. The Restaurant is very upscale and a pleasure to dine in. Just a Fun place to spent time.
