Had a perfect So Cal winter afternoon here today.
Needed a stay for into the nights, and this place was only a forty minutes away. The main attraction of this place is that it's right on the ocean. An upgrade to an Executive King (ok room, good sized, right next to elevator) with two balconies.
But it was right at sunset. We went for a long walk on the beach, cloudy turned into sunny. Then watched the sunset from the room. (Went back home for the evening.)
Ninth floor view was pretty high for Ventura, and it was a gorgeous sunset. For that, the hotel is as good as it gets.
