“Great Staff-Old Hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 8, 2013

First let me say the helpful, attentive, friendly staff make up for the outdated condition of the hotel. The new lobby was great and resembles what I have seen of the newer/remodeled Courtyards.
The check in/out was quick and efficient. The hotel could stand a “True” remodel, it looked like some surface upgrades have been made but the whole place is in need of work. The elevator was having issues, my sliding door would not open and appeared to be broken or did not open, the fan/air was noisy and the carpet was worn. I could hear people clearly upstairs stomping on floor and talking in room next door. The parking was free but tight as it is shared with other businesses. The hotel was in a good location right off 101 fwy and close to grocery, food, banks, and satellite colleges of Devry/APU. Clean room, good bed had a microwave and fridge.

“No Hum”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 30, 2013 via mobile

Not up to Marriott standards! I always look forward to a great night's sleep at a Marriott. Not so here! Lovely facility and well maintained but the mattress was a leftover from the past. Also, the smell of cleaning liquid was overpowering until i ran the fan. on the positive side, the location and price were good with easy access to tourist spots and a nearby outlet mall.

“Oasis After a long day in the premium outlets nearby”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

This hotel is not the standard of the larger Marriott's but the layouts and services are consistent with other Marriotts. They are the MacDonald's of the hotel business. Providing consistency you can rely on right through all levels.
This one was perfect for a one night stop with good beds and friendly staff.

“Some beds may be more comfortable than others”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 28, 2012

We have family in Ventura and have stayed multiple times at the Courtyard near the beach, but decided to stay here to avoid the big parking fee you pay at the beach location. We stayed here in late November 2012 and again a month later the weekend before Christmas. We are Marriott Rewards members so we have stayed in a lot of Courtyards, and this one is definitely comparable. The person at the front desk during our first stay was extremely helpful and friendly. She gave us some complimentary water bottles to take back to our room when we tried to purchase some from the market. All of our special requests made at the time of our on line reservation were acknowledged and honored. The hotel was extremely quiet even though it seemed fairly full. We only heard people leaving their rooms in the late morning once we were already up and moving about. The coffee in the room was awful but I don't really expect much from in-room coffee at any hotel and they do serve Starbucks in their cafe. The cafe had some wonderful light options for breakfast. I had an egg white, spinach, havarti cheese breakfast sandwich with a side of fruit that was very good along with a Starbucks pumpkin latte. It's not complimentary but it was very convenient and I don't mind paying if the food is good. There is a mall very close by as well with food options. Although this hotel is in Oxnard, it seems to be off the very first exit from the freeway after you leave Ventura (or close to it) so it's definitely an affordable and convenient location if you are a tourist in Ventura and don't want to pay the beach hotel prices and parking fees. The reason I give this an average rating is because, while the bed in the first room in which we stayed in November was pretty comfortable (seemed hard when we sat on it so we were pleasantly surprised), the bed during our more recent stay was not nearly as comfortable. It seemed to sag a little bit in the center and I woke up with hip/back pain. I'm not sure if they are in the process of updating rooms/replacing beds, which might explain the inconsistency? I think we were on the 6th floor during the first stay. We were on the 4th floor most recently. I would stay here again for sure, but I'll inquire about the beds for next time.

“Well-maintained property, excellent customer service.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 7, 2012

Stayed here for a night as a base from which to drive up to Santa Barbara. Check-in was efficient and friendly. Front-desk staff were superb, both during check-in and check-out. Renovated lobby area was modern and the breakfast at $9-10 was reasonably priced and of good quality. The rooms are what you expect of a Courtyard Marriott. They were clean and upgraded. Abundant parking. Well-located. Fitness room (which I used) was functional and sufficient.
