The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms, helpful service, and a great location within walking distance of restaurants. The dining experience, though simple, was sufficient. Free off-street parking was a bonus, but some areas were outdated with stains on bedding.

My family and I found the rooms to be very clean and ample in size for the three of us. However, we did notice some outdated furniture and stains on the pillows and bedding.

The staff was welcoming and quickly sorted out our room. While the complimentary breakfast was basic, it was plentiful. We would gladly stay here again, although some interactions felt a bit blunt.

The location was lovely, allowing for a quick check-in and check-out. We enjoyed being within walking distance of restaurants and pubs yet in a quiet area, perfect for rest. The option to wait at the hotel during car servicing, especially in the rain, was a convenient touch.

The breakfast options were simple but adequate for starting the day, including cereal, toast, and a hot drink. However, it wasn't quite what we expected in terms of variety.

The hotel rooms felt reasonably basic and a bit dated, lacking in Sky Television, and the WiFi signal was weak. On the plus side, the rooms come with x2 cookies and all the standard amenities like a fridge, tea/coffee facilities, air conditioning, TV, and free single sign-in WiFi. The service at Ventura was impeccable with 100% satisfaction, and they even provided a continental breakfast. The location was convenient, within walking distance to main restaurants and close to essential amenities. The dining experience was delightful, exceeding expectations with options like crumpets, cereal, and toast. Overall, Ventura lacks modernity in its rooms but makes up for it with exceptional service and a lovely dining experience.

After a day's drive from down south, the hotel was a cosy and comfy place to stay. The rooms were awesome, although a serviced credit card charge applied twice was a hassle. Unfortunately, the heating was freezing, especially inconvenient when traveling with a toddler.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was comfortable, albeit with just one luggage rack, and the nearby supermarket's noisy deliveries disturbed my sleep. However, the price was great for the value we received.
