Crowne Plaza Ventura Beach by IHG

Crowne Plaza Ventura Beach by IHG

8/10 Good
"The location is great. Steps from the beach and a block away from DT Ventura. We stayed on a busy weekend, so I’m guessing that affected the overall infrastructure. The hotel is fairly dated and needs some TLC. The elevators were super slow and at times were shut down altogether. Our shower drained slowly and the hot water wasn’t consistent. The room felt very cramped with two queen beds in it, and the bathroom was tiny. The balcony was nice but you had to be wary of the condensation from your upstairs neighbors air conditioning dripping down on you. The staff seemed very overwhelmed and stretched thin, but I attribute that to the busy fair weekend. I would stay again simply for the location, but would avoid busy weekends."

"If you’re looking for a clean easily accessible place to stay this is it. This is obviously not the Ritz Carlton but It’s a completely renovated motel inside and out. Very affordable pricing. No complaints."

Del Playa Inn Oxnard Near Camarillo

8/10 Good
"Parking was easy and room was well-maintained. Microwave and fridge worked. The shower was a nice surprise as it was better than most motels. Oddly the lady at check-in required a $10 deposit for the one card key in cash. Overall, no complaints considering the cost for a one night stay. "
