“Get a Marina view...its worth it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 26, 2013

My husband and I were up here in Oxnard last weekend. We were invited to a Naval retirement ceremony for a family friend. It also happened to be our five year anniversary. We decided (last minute) to come up a day early, since we're from San Diego, and had a 3 hour drive. We made the reservations the DAY OF check in, no problems what-so-ever. The front desk clerk was very helpful with things to do for the weekend. They even had it in their notes that it was our anniversary and said congratulations (sneaky hubby!). We had a room on the 3rd floor facing the Marina...beautiful view. So quiet, and wonderful. The parking was fine, great service. Excellent restaurants in the marina area. Very, very clean room. The hotel staff even left a hand written posted note on the bed that the duvet was freshly clean (That kind of seemed weird to me, because I thought they (hotels in general) cleaned them with every visit, but maybe I've been wrong all these years??) Anyhoo, the complimentary breakfast was good for me. Waffles, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, cold cereal, bagels, muffins, danishes ect... the coffee was piping hot...which I LOVE..we enjoyed our coffee out on our balcony both mornings. I hardly saw a soul around it was so quiet. Overall, if we have to come to Oxnard again, I'd say this is the only place we'll stay. The only negative thing I have to mention is the refrigerator in the room...it kind of did this grinding noise once or twice a night, didn't really bother me, but did wake me up. Since we didn't have anything in the fridge I just unplugged it after the first night and that was that...no biggie)

Room Tip: Marina view is a must...3rd floor if you can get it

“Nice grounds, nice room, AWFUL towels!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

I am a Hampton fan. I stay at one whenever I'm traveling and there is one available so I would have rated this property a Very Good if not for the awful bath towels. I can't believe they are Hilton standard. Thin and small is what they are.

Aside from the useless towels it was a nice place. Great grounds that back up to a lovely marina. The breakfast was typical and the front desk people I encountered were efficient if not a little aloof.

I think I would search out another Hampton in the area and avoid this one in the future.

Room Tip: I was in 109. Pool view king and I paid around $129

Dear BobZ:
I want to thank you for taking the time to review our property; I do want to apologize for the issue with the towels, we follow Brand standards when purchasing all of our linens and have already discuss this issue with the department supervisor to avoid any future situations since this was probably unnoticed in the room inspection. If you are in the area in the future and will give us the opportunity to host your needs again, please feel free to contact me directly so that I can better assist you.
Respectfully,
Patty Tewes

“Wonderful Weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 22, 2013

Hotel is very nice. It is close to everything. Both my wife and I had a GREAT time. Weather was perfect and we couldn't ask for better service from hotel staff. The park next door hads to the location. Great for picnics and a quick stroll.

“Great Harbor Views (and ADA)!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 9, 2013

We have been staying here now for the past four years. Our daughter is now a senior at the nearby Cal State University Channel Islands. There are closer Hampton Inns to the college, but by staying here on the harbor, only 15-20 minutes away, we have a little "mini-vacation!" (Plus the price is the same!) My husband has multiple sclerosis and uses a wheelchair, so we always have stayed in one of their ADA rooms overlooking the harbor. The bedroom and bathroom are spacious and easy to manuever around in a wheelchair, plus it is wonderful to still have the balcony to use and enjoy the view of the harbor. The breakfast seems to be a little better than most Hampton Inns (and Patty always welcomes us with a hug and a smile!). One of the ADA rooms has a couch with a pull-out bed (which is nice if you have a child or an extra person). If you ask (especially in advance), you can have a mini-fridge and a microwave put in the room. There is a pizza place nearby that delivers to the hotel - perfect to eat on the balcony with your bottle of wine or chilled beer. A couple of the ADA rooms (320 and 220) are quite close to the ice machines and elevators and can be a little louder than the other ADA rooms, but usually everything quiets down not too late in the evening. There's a great little park next to the hotel that you can walk to (or roll to!), plus on summer weekends there are late afternoon/early evening concerts in the park that you can enjoy from your balcony with your own beverages/snacks. This a wonderful hotel with great views, a warm and helpful staff, and a very reasonable (low) cost! We highly recommend this Hampton Inn!

Room Tip: ADA rooms 320 and 220 are close to the elevators and to the ice machines which can be noisier.
