Are you sure you want to be in the hospitality business? Consider using a steam cleaner, power washer bleach carpet cleaner some elbow grease and a can of paint. Deep cleaning your rooms would be a major improvement. You have a fantastic location & a beautiful fresh water lake. Now you just need a clean motel.

Uniquely classic 50s. Loved the old fashioned bathroom- so much like the home I grew up in. Two blocks from waterfront!! Closest neighbor a city park. Even a screen door. Price unbeatable. I don't particularly like cold, sterile modern (or fancy) hotels. Ventura was super clean, accessible and classic.

Very unfriendly welcome upon arrival. Desk clerk heavily emphasized the consequences of damage to the room, as if he were expecting we had destructive plans, and was very annoyed when asked for details about turning in the key Room was clean, functional. and quiet. Advertised breakfast was a complete failure Just four bagels, two yogurts, and orange juice were available when we were the first ones in for breakfast in the morning. Upon inspection all the bagels were moldy. When a new package of five bagels were brought out, these were all moldy, too, and that was all they had, so no breakfast.

Just don’t.
Clean enough where I didn’t feel the need to leave but there was food in our fridge and dead mosquitos on the walls. There was a locked door with a light on under it that the lobby told me not to worry about. I assume it was a non-functional “luv tub” so they should have just said that. But also why was the light on? The bed was clean but uncomfortable. The prime location is the only upside to this place.
