I have returned to the clocktower again after 4 months out of the area, and I have to say, wow! love the recent renovations! new paint carpet and decor are much better than last time. (which wasn't bad) live the new art work in the rooms, photos of the pier and marina in nice glass frames. The staff was friendly... More

The best thing I can say about this place is that it is centrally located. We stayed here during a trip to visit the Missions of California and see Mission Buenaventura. The mission was 1 block away and fabulous - up on a hill so you have a lovely view of Ventura and the ocean. Regarding the hotel, our room... More

I have seen the downsides described in other reviews, but was both happy and surprised to hear/see they have been improving things. The lobby and halls were newly painted, and the bedrooms have new carpet. I have had one or two instances with housekeeping in the past, but always had luck with the front desk when I asked for something.... More

At first glance, the Clocktower Inn is a charming hotel with Spanish-themed decor, and a comfortable lobby, but we soon discovered it needed better housekeeping than it has. Upon our arrival on Friday night the desk clerk was not at the desk, but there was a sign saying “Back in a moment”. Fifteen minutes later he returned; he must have... More
