My husband and I stayed in this hotel for 1 night. When we called to make reservations, the young woman said they have wine & cheese every night 5-7. We arrived at the hotel around 6. There was not any wine or cheese or would there be. The young lady informed us that in the morning they provide a full... More

I spent one night here, and the staff were absolutely wonderful. Sarah and Sue on reception, Carolina making eggs [just like in her native Peru]. They each went out of their way to help. Lovely room, with comfy bed. Friendly owner around much of the time - it makes a difference! Great hot tub too Ignore the horrible comment -... More

The historical nature of the Inn was enjoyable, and the old Ventura location was interesting, with beach, main street shops, art museum, mission and city hall, restaurants, and the pier within easy walking distance. The rooms were dated with no safes, wifi, fridge but did have nice gas fireplace, deck, working heat/AC controls and my room was clean. No WiFi... More

The top floors have wide open air balconies with tables and chairs. In room coffee pots! It is almost connected to Buenaventura Mission (of the historical mission... More

Save your money and sleep on the beach. Everything is old and dirty. I didn't even want to brush my teeth because of the grime, moldy smells, and dirty carpet. The best thing about the stay was the moment I woke up (5am after checking in at 11pm) and could get ready to leave. More

The good things first: the lobby is welcoming, and my boyfriend and I thought breakfast was good. Also, it's a very short walk to Seaside Park. As for the room, we are very tolerant people, so we laughed most of the time we stayed there. I saw the less than stellar ratings on the hotel. But we decided to give... More

I stayed at the Clocktower Inn this time to try it because of its location close to every thing. I am very impressed with the Hotel Lobby. Rooms were not so big but very comfortable and clean. Staff is extremely friendly. I will stay here again and I definitely recommend this Hotel. More

Came to the Clocktower Inn a few weeks ago for a family get together downtown. I stayed in room 221. Everything was perfect really. From the hotel we were just a walk away from the restaurant on Main Street. We had a glass of wine durring their free wine and cheese hour in their restaurant. Came back to the room... More
