"Love the lobby bar. It's a hidden gem in Ventura. Great selection of drinks including local wine and beer. Went with a friend and ordered several of the snacks - my favorite was the bacon wrapped dates (rich but excellent). The architecture is beautiful and the staff members are friendly and efficient."

The best thing for us was relaxing near the fireplace on the patio."

The open ceremony space at the center of the hotel is breathtaking,..."
