Charming place to stay for a night that could do with a bit of paint and overall renovation. The staff is friendly and the rooms are ok but could also be a tad cleaner. Without the high costs of LA or SF - it is a great stop between the two and nicely located in the town near a very... More

Bella Maggiore is a real find and good alternative to motels along the highway in Ventura. In center of a laid-back town that's good for walking; lively bars and restaurants are handy. It's rambling and has nice little patios, cozy living room area, and good eating area. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Every night 5-6 PM 2 glasses... More

Contrary to several reviewers we found the facility to be extremely well kept, clean and staffed by individuals who excelled in their roles in the tourist industry. I must give a shout out to Lisa who is a server in Nona's Cafe and also prepares and hosts the Happy hour in the second floor common area. The desk personnel and... More

The up-side is the location. The down-side is everything else! - Some of the furniture is so old and unsightly a thrift store would be ashamed to offer it. - There is a bar with live music so close it feels like your neighbor is throwing a party. - There were a few small stains on our sheets. - The...

After checking reviews online during a busy holiday weekend, I called the Bella Maggiore, got an excellent, double-digit AAA price on a big, funky-quaint room near the hotel courtyard, stayed 2 nights, and had pretty much a perfect getaway weekend. Good food, included w the room; free parking; walking distance to Ventura pier, the beautiful Watermark bar and the entire... More

Overall I enjoyed staying at the Bella Maggiore Inn. It is a cute hotel with lots of charm and little niceties, but feels a bit dated. Pluses include: 1. Great location in old Ventura 2. Free daily breakfast made to order 3. Lovely common areas for relaxing 4. Free nightly wine and snacks 5. Pleasant front desk service 6. Free... More

This INN is not your top of the line 4 star place to stay but my brother-in-law, sister-in-law, husband and I go every year if not twice a year and we love it. It includes the best free breakfast at the attached cafe. It is right by the bars and close to the beach. A great place to go and... More

My wife and I have stayed here at least a 1/2 dozen times. The decor and ambiance are charming, if maybe a little frayed around the edges. If you want to stay in downtown Ventura, you simply cannot beat this hotel's location. The complimentary breakfasts we have enjoyed in the hotel's courtyard restaurant, "Nona's," have been well-prepared and would certainly... More

My husband and I got to our room on the third floor, no elevator, immediately noticed the 80's decor complete with torn throw pillows, worn bedding and stained carpet. The bathroom was large with lots of counter space that I appreciate since I like to spread out my make up and hair products, no hair dryer however. We were just... More

My wife and I have stayed at the Bella Maggiore many times. True, it is a little dated. Also true, if you get a room facing California street prepare for noise -- drunks hollering, motorcycles racing and sirens. That said, our room for this latest visit was clean and very spacious. They now have flat-screen TVs but they are really... More
