Ventura Beach Marriott

The entire hotel looked extremely modern and clean. The lobby and rooms were very modern, clean and nice. Beautiful outside courtyard/garden with nice plants, colorful Koi Fish, hangout spot. Pool and hot tub were big and spacious, water was perfect temperature. Shower looked brand new and was very nice. Location was great, right next to the beach. Beds were also very comfortable.

There was no option for a room with breakfast included. For breakfast, you could have only ordered something from the restaurant which was pretty expensive like a $4 small blueberry muffin. The girl at the reception was rather unfriendly and unwelcoming during our check in and check out.

Beautiful hotel with spotless, really comfortable room. Good breakfast.

You are given a wifi password but they dont tell you that its not free!!

Highly recommended! Bed was very comfortable. Love the bath. Everything about the room and its furnishings were nicely laid out, very efficient, plenty of room to sit and watch TV or work on my laptop. Nice L shaped sofa in sitting area. Very clean room and bath. Nicely upgraded to more modern look. Love the walk-in shower. Was surprised how quiet the hotel was despite how full the hotel seemed to be; even the hallways were quiet! Friendly and responsive staff. Unique thing was we were told if we want housekeeping services, we had to call front desk the night before. Thought this was strange. But as it turned out, I preferred this -- used the housekeeping services, only as-needed.

We couldn't figure out how to warm the room with the digital thermostat. Sometimes, the room got too cold and could not get heat going even though we tried to set the digital thermostat to a higher temperature.

The rooms and finishings in this property were beautiful. the location was fantastic for walking around the marina. the food and service in the hotel restaurant the first night we’re fantastic. we had two fantastic males check us in, they were so polite and friendly.

we were woken up both mornings by housekeeping. they knocked on our door at 9.15am asking we’re we checking out today. then the second morning it was construction drilling. I called guest services to ask them why someone was drilling at 9.30am and she said they were fixing a shower head, I asked why they couldn’t do this later and she said no. she was not apologetic for waking guests. DONT HAVE BREAKFAST HERE! the food for breakfast was terrible. the worst we have had our entire trip and it was $50!! such a pity because the dinner was great.

it’s clean and comfortable and close to the harbor, which is why I stay there. also it’s nice the restaurant is open again.

this time there were two nights when definitely someone was smoking pot close to my room because for hours the room smelled so bad. I have nothing against pot, but I don’t want to have to smell it while trying to relax and sleep. I thought there was no smoking on the premises. I want to stress the fact I am not against pot, but this made my stay uncomfortable.

We like the convenience of being close to the beach. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable.

We did not make reservations and when we walked into the hotel, they told us we would have to go online and make reservations, even though there were roms available. So we walked out to the parking lot, made the reservation, walked back in and checked in. This was a bit irritating. Also, for the price of the room, parking should be free.

The aesthetic of every space in the hotel is very nice. Check in was fast and friendly. My family and I enjoyed the Koi pond and jacuzzi. We loved how close (5 minute walking distance) from our room to the beach. Our room looked clean but not being able to control the thermostat to our desired temperature made our stay very uncomfortable. The beds were comfortable but the pillows were too soft for my preference. Overall I will stay again

Not being able to control the thermostat.

The room was specious, comfortable, updated & very clean. We asked and received the pool-view room, which was very pleasant . The hotel staff was polite & attentive , although we did not ask for much. Its 5 mins walk to the beach

They charge for parking ( 16$/per night ) and Wi-Fi ( 10$ to 15$ per day ) which seems pretty strange to me

The rooms are very nice and clean and quiet. The beds are excellent. The facilities are nice and clean very near the beach. Beautiful courtyard and pool area.

The halls are confusing because they are the same color. A unique color bar (or number) for each section of the hotel would help. The breakfast could be served on a plate vs a box. I understand the Covid thing. I don't like paying for parking (though reasonable $16 per day), and you needed a Marriott rewards to get free wifi.

I absolutely loved the room I stayed in, the decor was amazing, the bed super comfy, and the cleanliness of the room was awesome!! I also loved how the staff were very warm and friendly, and made you feel extremely welcomed!!

I didn’t like the lack of available channels to select from, and would have appreciated a later checkout time, but overall I really can’t complain, and I would definitely recommend this hotel to family and friends!!
