The rooms are small, but the views are great if you can get a room on the 7th floor or higher. Although the hotel is way overpriced for the room size (it was much cheaper when it was branded “Holiday Inn”), the location is unparalleled. Make a right turn on the boardwalk when exiting the hotel, and in a couple... more

The service is amazing and the view was beautiful. i had a view of surfers which was just what i was looking for. the staff is freindly and made me feel as if i have been going there for years. San diego has many people so staying... more

The hotel's web site lead-in says it all: "Ventura's only beachfront hotel." If you like ocean views, walks on the beach, and ready access to sea-side amenities, then the Crowne Plaza is your only choice in Ventura. My wife and I have been to Ventura five times in the past five years and have stayed at the Crowne Plaza twice... more

Wow, I find it unbelieveble that some of the above reviews are speaking of the same hotel that I stayed in back in July. I must preface that my stay was unexpected...my friends and I broke down on the highway. But nevertheless, my first thought upon walking into the hotel was 'Thank you God for the Crown Plaza'. I found... more

We had planned on spending two nights but checked out after the first night. We were on the eleventh floor which literally vibrated from the party noise on the twelfth floor which apparently caters to private parties. The freeway noise was intolerable even with the windows closed and earplugs in. The sound of the train would have been romantic if... more

We stayed here because we couldn't find any other place to stay. It was an 'okay' place, clean. But, over-priced! The toilet ran all night unless you got up to giggle the flushing handle. And, the toilet would not always flush properly. When we left, the management did not offer us any discount or apology for our inconvenience, but they... more

First of all I highly recommend this hotel. I travel alot on business and I meet alot of people. The front desk staff is very friendly as well as the restaurant staff. When I arrive at this hotel my keys are already made and a bellman is waiting for me to help me with my luggage. Unfortunately there is no... more

We expected far more from a hotel named the Crown Plaza. It is dated and in need of a remodel. The bathroom had no room for toiletries/make-up and the closet was no bigger than a telephone booth. There was no vent in the bathroom either. Fortunately, our room was clean and we found the staff very friendly and accommodating. We... more

I stayed here with my husband and two young daughters. The toilet in the room above ours leaked water all throughout out room. Th dirty toilet water was everywhere. This happened about 5 in the morning. I called the front desk for help. It took 45 minutes for someone to answer. They stated they could not help me because maintenance... more
