Cliff House Inn On The Ocean

10/10 Excellent
"This is our second time here, won't be our last. We love this place. So beautiful , quaint, charming. The proximity and views of the ocean are spectacular. We always get a room with a view of the ocean. We leave the windows open and sleeping to the sounds of the waves crashing all night is so comforting. The late night check in was so easy. Staff was super helpful. Non checkout gives you time to enjoy the continental breakfast and enjoy your coffee poolside about the beach."

Four Points by Sheraton Ventura Harbor Resort

8/10 Good
"25 min walk to harbor shops and restaurants; flat safe area for biking. Hotel has a few bikes to rent. Pool good size but the jacuzzi is under an enclosed dome, and the air was stifling (very hot day tho). Room spacious. Even had free cookies and hot popcorn in the afternoon. Free coffee in the restaurant and lobby (for breakfast). Was very quiet/empty when there mid August (which was nice). Ample parking @ $12/day. Close to freeway and downtown Ventura."
