Mission Bell Motel — Hotel in Ventura

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...

This motel is really a nostalgic throwback to the early motor courts, with car ports. It is kept up well and was very clean . We got the kitchenette room in order to have more room and we were glad for the large fridge as our ice chest was barely warm after traveling. We were easily able to refreeze ice blacks and cool off our food again. With a very large closet ( but no hangers), the room can be a complete sudio apartment. It had a nice large flat screen tv with lots of channels and wifi which worked great!! | There were no utensils or dishes but we had brought plastic ware and paper plates. Unfortunately there was no coffee pot at all, and no coffee or anything in the office ( no longer is there any type of breakfast) so we did have to stop later for coffee. | Other than that, it was very satisfactory and we got a good...

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...
