The comfortable 2-star The Shores Inn Ventura is located within 5 minutes' walk of Ventura City Beach and comprises 35 rooms with modern comforts. Located just 1.8 km from the waterfront lawn "Marina Park", this Ventura inn features a first aid kit.

Location

The hotel has a prime setting around a 10-minute ride from the Olivas Adobe Historical Park, while natural sights like the Sheltered Harbor Cove Sandy Beach are approximately a 20-minute walk away. When staying at the Shores Inn Ventura, you'll be 2.7 km from the Surfers Point at Seaside Park.

Guests might as well visit San Buenaventura State Beach, which is about a 5-minute stroll away. Standing 3 km away, the Catholic Mission San Buenaventura Parish is a hard-to-miss divine tourist destination.

The accommodation is situated 3.3 km from Ventura Amtrak train station.

Rooms

Appointed with complimentary wireless internet and a TV, the spacious rooms at The Shores Inn have private bathrooms and separate bedrooms. If you like cooking, there is an electric kettle, a fridge, and kitchenware provided on site. Some bathrooms have a separate toilet and a shower, along with bath sheets.

Eat & Drink

While staying at the Shores Inn, guests can choose from dining options nearby, such as Social Tap Ventura, located merely 100 metres away, or Surf 'N Yogurt at a 5-minute walking distance.

“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.”
