Clocktower Inn - Ventura

It was perfect for my needs. Very cool looking hotel - almost an extension of the Ventura Mission which is about one block away. The room appointments (furnishings) were really nice and in keeping with the mission era. Had to call about a noisey bunch in the hot tub at 3am. Took an hour before they calmed down but the staff handled it. I enjoyed my […] stay and will be happy to return. Read more

The bumpy tiles by the elevator are not user-friendly with contemporary roller luggage. Many of the furniture (in the lobby, for example) are worn or basically show too much use; though renovation was clearly in progress. I have no problem with the staff. The location is one that I mostly enjoy.

The room was nice. Though the service was not, the hallways were dirty, my door would not open with the key provided. So the man suggested I go to him when I wanted to be let back in my room. Real inconvenient

Hotel is in a great location with plenty of shops and restaurants within a few minutes walk. Fireplace in the room made the weekend a hit.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

In the tree next door to our balcony were a pair of pink panties. The desk clerk was unresponsive to my comment to remove them as we were checking out. About 20% of the door locks were removed from the room doors making the rooms unrentable. A roll away bed was left in our second floor hallway for three days. You would think they could store it in one […] of the unrented rooms. The first room we were given was not made up properly. The desk clerk we checked in with was quick to put us in another room and very polite. The continental free breakfast was a joke, but since there were only two guest parties during our stay there was no one to feed. Read more

Don't judge a book by its cover; this I certainly did. Once I received keys to my room and opened the door, it smelled like a closet that had not been opened for years. I mumbled and said it was ok, the bed has clean sheets. I suddenly had the urge to use the bathroom. A sigh of relief came when the toilet seat had a band stating cleaned for your safety. […] I lifted the cover and was given quite the surprise: urine all over the seat. I rushed out the and headed to the front desk. The gent at the front desk was apologetic and kindly relocated me to a new room. The hotel's location is great, but the price paid was a little steep. Book at your own discretion (you experience may differ substantial than mine). Overall, 2.5 out of 5. Read more

The room was dirty and old. We only stayed one night and didn't use the shower because it was so gross.

I STAY OFTEN AT THIS HOTEL, BUT I MUST SAY THAT THE GENERAL MANAGER IS VERY RUDE. WHEN I CHKED IN HE HAD ME WAIT FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES WHILE HE CHKED IN OTHER GUEST THAT ARRIVED AFTER ME. ALSO, HE INSISTED TO GIVE ME A ROOM WITH 1 BED, BUT I PAID FOR A ROOM WITH 2 BEDS. HE TRYED SEVERAL TIMES TO GIVE ME A BED AND I SAID NO. HE FINALLY GAVE ME MY ROOM. […] ALL OTHER STAFF AT THE HOTEL IS GREAT Read more

Over all, our room was clean. The rug had stains on it. That was the down side to our room. Our card key lock to the room did not work. Every time we went to the room the front desk staff would have to let us in. It was not a big deal, felt like we had our own Doorman. I believe every room has a balcony with plenty of room to sit out side, which is […] a big plus. Breakfast was not bad they served eggs and sausage, fruit, bread and coffee and more. The staff was great and worked hard to handle our requests. For the price I would stay here again. Some homeless people in the park next to the hotel but we walked though the park several times with no problems and no begging. They have to leave by dark which is enforced by police. A restaurant and bar is located on the property. Read more

This is our "go to" hotel in Ventura. In fact, my husband and I had our wedding there last October. The rooms are not the typical cookie-cutter chain hotel rooms and many of them have gas fireplaces and/or balconies. There is a nightly hotel hosted happy hour with wine and cheese from 5-7. The free breakfast always has eggs, sausage, bagels, cereal, […] juice, pastries and, of course, coffee. There is a restaurant/bar "attached" to the hotel - Zoey's. Although I've never eaten there, they catered our wedding and it was delicious! The location is great, being one street south of the main drag in downtown Ventura, right across from the Mission. Lots of restaurants, antique stores and entertainment is within walking distance. Read more

Hotel is in dire need of restoration. Room was very damp and smelled of mold. So much so that the carpet was too damp to walk on in bare feet.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It was noisy, next to tavern. Hard to find room, elevator in awkward area. Many things did not function, window would not open, plug on wall too wide, my blowdryer plug would slip out, all light bulbs were not in. Front desk personnell were not in front desk some of the time.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Sadly our stay was not great. Our window (overlooking parking lot and main road) was very noisy - and the windows would not shut. Wedding party at venue across the parking lot felt like it was in our room. Very noisy bar adjacent to hotel - so 2 am rowdy crowd in the parking lot - finally moved on by police. Breakfast was adequate but minimal. Plastic […] plates and cutlery made it a little less than nice. Hotel staff were friendly and rooms were clean and reasonably comfortable. Corridor door did not work with room key so had to be propped open. Not a great overall experience. Read more

Walls dirty, carpeting dirty, top pillow case inside out, pillow case underneath was never changed, and had a long hair on it. Airconditioning not working (nob was broke). Remote control didn't work. Tried to open window but whole frame was falling out. Tried to upgrade room but could not. And there were some other miner issues like only 1 reg. coffee […] and 2 decaf. Had to go and ask for reg. coffee. amongst other things. Read more

The carpet got stain all over. The overall cleanses was bad. Breakfast was full of frozen food. Not enough parking.

hotel needs a makeover. Appears old and dingy. needs new carpeting, curtains, towels, bed linens, etc.

We were here for the Santa Barbara Triathelon. Got in late had spent time with family. Just slept there, but it was fine.

I wanted to take a hot shower; however, the hot water pressure was low. The hotel staff decided to put my husband and I in a different room.

Genuine Expedia guest review

We liked the central location of the hotel. However, it is located next to a public park where the homeless sleet at night. The hotel receptionist continued talking on his cell phone during much of the check in process. The room needs an update. The low level of the lighting made the room feel even more dingy. The shower curtain smelled of mildew. We […] asked that it be changed but it was not. There were insufficient hangers in the closet. Breakfast, consisting of cereals, bread, rolls, waffles, scrambled eggs and sausages, is served in a pleasant, covered courtyard. Wifi is only available in the hotel lobby. Very loud music from adjoining bar woke us both nights. Read more

Im not super picky... but heres a few things that did catch my attention could of been better. I tried to check in about 2 (1 hour early) they said no rooms were ready, please come back. I had no problem doing so but the other person said he'd check on a room and be right back. When he came back he said one was ready and gave me my key. He obviously […] didn't check very well because upon entering the room the bed was torn apart, smelt like strong cologn, towels on floor, etc. The housekeeping had not touched it. I returned to front desk, let them know . The appologized and said to come back at 3. I did this and once again when they went to check the room it still wasn't done. She applogized saying the housekeeping had forgot. Ok, so finally checked in about 4:30. Room may of been doen before then but I couldn't come back until that time. Cleaniness of room? Well, the carpet is oldera nd faded, toliet was not very clean at all where the seat attaches to bowl, bathtub is stained yellow and water drips, fridge was dirty and i would not put anything in there i planned to eat. Bed is hard too. Also about the location, there is a park next to it and many, homeless individuals hang out there day and night. They minded their own business while we were going to and from our car... but it's a little spooky to pull up at night in a parking lot and see 5-10 people just lounging around. Not that anything would happen, im just saying you never know these days. Read more

room not ready -shuffled around lugging bags from room to room, light bulb burned out, very slow service upon check-in, no clock in room, rooms smelled musty. Desk employee upon leaving was very understanding and credited 1 night. Would not return.

The hotel was kept up well but needed a vending machine area. The room was clean and well kept but the coffee maker was too small and useless. Needed a microwave oven and couple of more pictures. The breakfast was late but the food was better than most. It is in a good area and resonable walk to the ocean and the fairgrounds. I will be going back a […] gain. Read more

The staff was okay. Not all that. Location was great. Room smelled old and musty. Cob webs on lights in bathroom. Room carpet needed to be vacumed. There was a cloud of dust under the night table!! Not enough towels. Needed to ask for more. We didn't stay long in the room, so I didn't really care, but this room was not CHEAP. >_<

Staff was awesome---breakfast was great too! Having a fireplace was a bonus!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I totally enjoyed my visit! The room was cute and for the price which included a happy hour reception of a glass of wine and cheese it was wonderful. It is not extravagant, but quaint. I had only one concern and that was the mini-frig did not work. Replaceable from the maintenance crew, although I did not see it worth the trouble to ask. CS

Young Kid at the desk without knowledge of the hotel. Security door and emergency bar broken and we had an issue getting in. Asked for rooms together and we were put on opposite ends of the hotel. Rooms were very dirty and really small. Hotels.com should be embarrassed to have them on the list.

My wife and I stay at the Clocktower Inn frequently because we have family in Ventura. The staff is friendly. The included breakfast is above average for this type accomodation and, of course, reduces the cost of your stay. The beds are good and the rooms are usually quiet. The a/c units and bathrooms are outdated. Parking is free. The hotel is across […] a park from the mission and downtown shopping. Read more

Comp "breakfast" is a joke - best thing: a homeless man came in, scooped up most of it and departed happy as lark. This sent us to go to a local eatery (just around the corner) and enjoy a real one.

It is definitely not the most modern hotel but it is cute and in a great location. You couldn't beat it for the price. I also liked the large balconies off of the room and they offer free breakfast and wine and cheese at happy hour. It is in walking distance of the main street and the beach. Would stay again for sure if I was in the area.

We don't spend much time at a motel so it doesn't have to be special.It had character and was different from the chains. A nice change of pace while still satisfactory. Very good breakfast and staff was friendly. Good shower and good sized bathroom. The only negative was that the room was small. Oh and there wasn't mosh parking. Stay on the opposite […] side of the night club. Read more

As my husband said, it's one step above camping as they had running water! Service was great! Hotel condition was very bad! We were upgraded to a room with a patio and was so excited! We found spider webs, doors that don't lock securely, dirty, gaps in doors, more spider webs!!! Very disappointing. We requested to move to another room. A bit better, […] but again very disappointing! Nothing that they advertise. Sorry, hotel.com, wish I could say better. Read more

There is a night club next door to the hotel and you can hear very loud music until about 2AM. It kept us up but our friends who stayed on the other side of the hotel didn't hear anything. Overall the hotel was a decent value for the price and walking distance to restaurants, the beach, etc. The staff is very friendly.

The facility was adequate. The staff friendly and very helpful. If you are expecting great things from Zoey's Cafe next, you will be disappointed. Very limited menu.

I paid too much for this hotel and the problems were these: - We were off duty police officers that needed to store our weapons in their safe...they chose not to from what I sensed was lack of trust -The toilet rings, shower spigot handles were broken and moldy -There were a lot of mental homeless people outside our window screaming thru the day and […] night -Wine and cheese service was a utter joke -towels were scruffy and soap(s) were pinner - Ice machine was empty I paid too much for a 2 bed and was comfortable at a Super 8!

If you don't need anything fancy this is a great place. Located near old town. There are many great resturants to choose from. The only major problem is the parking is very limited. I would only recomend this hotel for a overnighter or 2 night max though.

The location of the hotel is great, but the building needs some updating. The beds were not comfortable and could use some updated linens.
