The 2-star The Shores Inn Ventura is located within 5 minutes' walk of San Buenaventura State Beach, offering 35 rooms, Wi-Fi, and a car park.
Location
The inn is just 1.8 km from the waterfront lawn "Marina Park", and 3.8 km from Ventura Amtrak train station. Natural attractions in the area include the Sheltered Harbor Cove Sandy Beach, nearly 20 minutes' walk from this Ventura hotel, and a beach is nearly a 5-minute walk away.
The Shores Inn Ventura will also take you to the Olivas Adobe Historical Park, which is 3.5 km away.
Santa Barbara airport is situated 70 km from the accommodation.
Rooms
Certain rooms have an adjoining terrace and a balcony for your convenience. Guests can make use of tea/coffee making equipment, and relax with high-speed internet and a multi-channel TV. Some bathrooms have a separate toilet, along with bath sheets.
Eat & Drink
The Shores Inn is in close proximity to Social Tap Ventura, which serves delectable meals.
“What this vintage motel lacks in modern polish, it more than makes up for with its warm staff and unbeatable location, steps from the beach and close to dining; sea-themed decor adds a quirky touch, fitting for a seaside getaway.
Though some furnishings show their age, the rooms are clean and equipped with practical amenities like a good-sized fridge and a smart TV, while leaving budget travelers pleasantly surprised. For unfussy beach lovers, it's a solid, affordable base.”
