Stayed here because it was the closest place to stay for a concert at Ventura music hall. The venue was just across the street so it was super convenient. The motel property and rooms were clean and the beds were unexpectedly pretty comfortable. Parking was kinda tight though.

3 major reasons why I gave the poor ratings where I did. #1 the bathroom smelled so bad like a sewer septic tank, that I would nearly gagged every time I walk into the bathroom. We tried putting towels over the drains on the floor, in the shower and the sink. It was TERRIBLE. #2, I picked the place for the kitchen that it provided and showed up with groceries knowing I would be there several days. There was an absolutely inadequate supply of kitchen tools and ALL dishes plus silverware were dirty! I had to clean everything in order to use. #3, I had to have an important item over-nighted to the hotel and was never told it had arrived the day before I checked out. Upon checking out I ask if anything had arrived and was told no. When it WAS there. It wasn't until I called the company that sent it that I found out it was shipped and had arrived. NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE FOR ME.

The staff were welcoming and very helpful. The exterior is rough, but that is very deceptive - our room was impeccably clean, spacious, and comfortable! So glad that we trusted all the positive reviews - they weren't exaggerated.

My two night stay had both good & bad elements. Thin walls - and an inconsiderate idiot next door... yes, you in room 205!! - meant that I was woken up at 3am by this 'charmer' standing outside my room while having a heated conversation on his phone. 🙄 I complained to the management - of course - and was moved to a much better room for my second night. The slightly scruffy outside appearance of the Crystal Lodge hides the fact that the rooms are nice! Great beds & decent showers... and clean. All you want from a Motel really. I'd go back - but I'd hope for a better neighbour!

Inexpensive Crash Pad
An inexpensive place to stay that’s clean with a reasonably comfortable bed. The place is in marginal condition, window screen was broken and held together with duct tape, water took a really long time to get warm, towels thin and the TV old. Rooms on the street side are noisy but you know that going in so bring earplugs. Parking can be tight. If you just need a place to crash and noise doesn’t bother you it fits the bill.

The price was great for a 3 night stay for the purpose of going to the Channel Islands National Park, and for driving to Santa Barba and Oxnard. There is a Thai restaurant across the street and the food is amazing. The motel is walkable to Ventura Beach which my husband and I loved. As for the room, the bathroom was newly renovated, we had a microwave and a small fridge. However the ceiling fan didn’t really work, the cabinet where the TV was placed didn’t open and it made the walking space narrow. Overall it was a great stay and will definitely stay here again.
