Comfort Inn Ventura Beach

The Comfort Inn Ventura Beach is a roadside motel, not a destination hotel, offering basic amenities in a clean, comfortable environment that could be anywhere in the United States, except for the palm trees and tropical plants outside. There is no swimming pool, fitness center, bar, or other common gathering place, except for the lobby, which is furnished with a sofa and a few chairs but is more a place to book tours and do business rather than socialize. The hotel is near a vast assortment of tourist attractions, including beaches, theme parks, golf courses, and Hollywood. This is a good pick for budget-minded tourists and business travelers who don’t plan to spend a lot of time in their rooms but who want a basic, comfy place to recharge at the end of the day.

The Comfort Inn Ventura Beach is easy to find -- it's right off the 101 freeway. There's an In-and-Out Burger right next door, and other fast-food restaurants, convenience stores, and gas stations nearby. San Buenaventura State Beach is within walking distance of the hotel; guests can swim, snorkel, and surf here, explore bike trails, or enjoy the famed Ventura pier with fishing, restaurants, and shops (including bait shops). The historic San Buenaventura Mission, Ventura County Museum, and art galleries are within a short drive. Six Flags, Magic Mountain, and Universal Studios theme parks are an hour away by car.

Rooms at the Comfort Inn Ventura Beach are (mostly) clean and up-to-date, with enough space and storage for a short stay, but no room to hang out and spend family time. Decor is basic Comfort Inn, in olives, browns and golds, with dark wall-to-wall carpeting. Bathrooms are tight, but showers have massage features and free toiletries are provided. Rooms include large, comfy beds and pillow menus, microwaves, mini-fridges, flat-screens, and coffeemakers. Some suites have fireplaces and whirlpools in the living area. Double-paned windows keep noise at bay, but light sleepers should request rooms facing away from the freeway. Past guests have reported minor issues with maintenance and cleanliness. 

The Comfort Inn Ventura Beach offers guests a free hot breakfast voucher for use at the neighboring Denny’s, where visitors can indulge in hot coffee and a Grand Slam. There's a lobby concierge who will help book excursions. Laundry facilities and a small business center, as well as a meeting room, are available for guests' use, and there is free Wi-Fi throughout the property. Parking is also free.
