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!

Great boutique hotel in Ventura

The service was phenomenal and the hotel was beautiful. It’s a converted Elks lodge with a perfect mix of modern comfort and historic architecture.

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!

Loved this property. The regular rooms aren’t very practical, however, if you need to get any work done (there is no desk or even table to work from in the room). It is also odd to have nowhere to hang any clothes (just some drawers under the tv) at all so would mean living out of your suitcase for the duration of the trip. Perfect for a short stay. Excellent staff and beautiful rooms despite the lack of basic practical elements. At the end of the Main Street so perfect location.

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.
