What a wonderful stay! I was so impressed with Hotel San Buena. The staff were incredibly accommodating and kind. The hotel is within walking distance of downtown, yet it's quiet and tucked away from the main street, offering the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility. I highly recommend staying here and would absolutely return!

The best in Ventura!
This property is absolutely stunning—every detail exudes charm and comfort. Our Landmark Room was incredibly spacious with soaring ceilings, creating an airy, luxurious feel. The complimentary water, snacks, and nightly brownies were such thoughtful touches that made our stay feel extra special.
The staff was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and full of fantastic local recommendations (especially for restaurants!). We loved cozying up by the outdoor fireplace in the evenings and sipping the delicious, fresh-brewed coffee each morning.
So thrilled we discovered this gem—can’t wait to come back!

We only stayed one night but next time we’ll stay a few more. The remodel and repurpose of this old Elks club came out great. The patio and courtyard areas were cozy with plenty of seating. Many restaurants just a short walk from the hotel.

We checked in very late a little before midnight Joshua was the person who checked this in and he was very accommodating and showed us three different rooms we could choose from. The hotel was an old Elks Lodge but has been remodeled quite nicely. They were complimentary beverages in our refrigerator and I would certainly stay here again if I was in the area.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at Hotel San Buena. Everything is so thoughtfully curated, and the space is beautiful. Every staff member we interacted with was so friendly and helpful - the vibe was really welcoming.
The location one block from the Main Street walking area with all it's shops and restaurants was fantastic. It was also an easy walk to the pedestrian bridge over to the pier. We wish we'd been there longer to take advantage of the bikes available to borrow!
We really appreciated the complimentary snacks and drinks in our room as well as the evening cookies. Our room in the historic building was thoughtfully appointed and had everything we needed. It's worth noting that the bathroom shower and sink area is not a separate room, but a glassed off area, so it's definitely a set-up for people who are either solo or very comfortable with each other.
We'd absolutely stay again and hope to do so!

I recently stayed at this hotel for one night and was thoroughly impressed. The property was immaculate, with every detail attended to meticulously. The customer service was outstanding, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant stay. The hotel has an amazing scent throughout the hotel that was delightful. I can't wait to return and experience it all over again.

The property is beautiful!! The room was so cozy and extremely clean!! The bed and pillows are so very comfortable. ALL of the staff was so very kind and helpful. After going out for an evening, it was so nice to come back to cold water bottles on the night stand and some chocolate covered nuts as a nice snack. 10/10 we will definitely be back
