Bayshore Inn Ventura

This is among the 5 worst places I've ever stayed over my 40 years of travelling. In its favor, it was clean and the bed was comfortable---I actually got a good night's sleep considering my disgust about the room. But there is a total lack of maintenance or pride in ownership. I met the owner and he was very sweet. But (1) the lightbulb in the beside lamp had been painted black. I did get a new bulb (2) no smoke alarm (3) missing plate over plug (4) GFI plug in bath did not work (5) bed made poorly (top sheet was used as a bottom sheet) (6) screens missing in two windows. (5) room smelled badly, like old smoke and mustiness. Had to open all windows to air out room. Etc, etc. Fortunately it was one night. I was on a low budget and it was a Saturday night, and they did not require a 2-nite stay. But for the money (Total with taxes etc. $171) it was NOT worth it.

This affordable hotel was way nicer than its lower than average prices indicates. Our room even had a microwave oven and refrigerator! It had marble counter tops, laminate floors, within a clean attractively decorated room. The proprietor was as delightful as the decor. My husband and I both felt thoroughly refreshed after sleeping on their comfortable mattress. Good deal and I am glad we stayed here.

Besides the roaches, ants, and flies, the motel is a drug party zone. Full of theives. Long termer that leave garbage the to rot in their room. Meth is so strong it poors into the room. Nothing is working
