Leisure & Business

“What stands out is the property's obvious commitment to contemporary spaces, with renovated rooms and the welcome absence of carpeting; proximity to Ventura State Beach and downtown adds to the appeal. It's family-friendly, pet-friendly, and there's even a business center. This feels like a solid choice if you want modern comforts near the beach.”
