Mission Bell Motel 3237 East Main Street, Ventura, CA 93003

"The front desk people are rude, disrespectful and treat you like you’re garbage I recommend spending your money elsewhere"

"Room unsuitable for a small family, not well maintained. Drawers unclean with dust and crumbs. Kitchenette without silverware. Kitchen shelves quite dirty. Very expensive for the service. Not kid friendly: everything was strictly measured for just two people, and there was only one small bed for everyday."

"Before letting us in to view the room the host slipped his arm through the front door to turn on the lights, He waits a second before opening the door to let us in, that was strange. The room was clean but had an odd smell which we overlooked. 15 minutes after accepting the room I turned down yellow stained comforter to find 4 long black hairs, 2 on the pillows one mid down and one at the foot of the bed. Immediately we decided not to stay and asked for a refund. The host said no. After going back and forth he agreed. Well, I received my statement today and found that Mission Bell had charged my card and did not revers the charge. In addition to not refunding the charge the following day Mission Bell charged my card again for a second night."

"Found this place by accident, my spouse and I are traveling nurses, and were looking for a place to rent for a few months. The manager gave us a huge room more like a 1 bedroom apartment. The rooms are clean and very comfortable. The management is always so friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this place!"

"Nice historic no frills Motel. Checked in after hours (late) evening, had to ring the doorbell for service which was not working. After pushing all of the service bells and not getting any answer I decided to call the number posted on the door. While waiting on the phone for someone to answer I decided to push the Disabled person service button. Finally a sound it works Hallelujah, a older woman appeared peeping out of the window across from the Motel lobby. Told her I needed to check in she immediately replied, no we have no check in no information for you. She had not asked me my name reservation information or anything. Simply said no reservation or information for me. A older male appeared speaking to her in a foreign language the words spoken had her open and greet me in the Lobby. After giving them my information they located my reservation and promptly issued a key for my room. Nice bungalow Style unit single queen-sized bed, table w/ 2 chairs, old microwave that works and a unbalanced refrigerator that works as well. There is no carpet so I'm sure that it has been remodeled sometime ago as there is tile throughout the unit. The tile in the bathroom needs a good cleaning removing the soap scum and hard water scales from it. The units shower did not work properly drip all night long. There towels are thin, small, and old in need of replacement. It is a very quiet place even with all the movement around the property associated with possible monthly renters. The staff turned out to be courteous and helpful and not like when I checked in. Yes I would return and utilize their services. During my stay they were working to make improvements and satisfied my request when asked for service of the shower."
