Amanzi Hotel, Ascend Hotel Collection

I hate leaving reviews like this, but I need to warn others who book online!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! I have stayed at hundreds of hotels in my life, but this I believe was by far the worst. First off THE ENTIRE PLACE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION! Construction workers everywhere! It is 7 am. I believe my son and I are only non-construction workers staying here. I got no sleep at all due to bright lights that they leave on all night!!leaving my already openly viewed see thru-curtain-room (see picture). Back to it being 7 am. Construction workers are outside my room now banging on the walls. Staring in our room at me and my young child. You would think they paid us to stay here! Nope it was actually quite expensive. Only nice thing is the beach is close. Not close enough though, and not very safe. Had to walk past a few different individuals smoking pot. On the way back I saw the construction workers doing drugs through ya know those see-through-curtains again. The entire place smells moldy. It just has been a very uncomfortable experience. Shame on them for even advertising online with the conditions like this!!! I do not see anywhere in description on the website I booked talking about the entire place under construction whatsoever. Update: I get the owner still needs to make a living and by doing that best option is keeping hotel open. Perhaps though cut the price in half - my goodness.

Large room, unfortunately construction was ongoing outside. Walkability: Easy access to downtown Ventura

Bit lackluster check-in, and very close to Freeway and train traffic and noisy if your room points that direction. Other than that very clean, and large rooms!
