The location is 5 star, the rooms are stylish and the bed comfortable. The view (from 702) was spectacular. The restaurant, C-Street, also is very bright and airy and has a nice contemporary flair. Downtown Ventura and Ventura Harbor are both good tourist destinations. I have been to Santa Barbara for approximately six summers in a row, but I am... More

We had planned to take a longer trip up to Santa Cruz for my birthday, but work came up and we had to do a mini getaway. We'd seen the hotel lots of times on surf trips to Ventura and thought it would be fun to stay right on the beach. We booked through a web site and specifically chose... More

Our pillowcases weren't clean, the rooms don't have screen doors and they stop answering their room service calls before the posted closing time. It's ridiculously loud and charge for parking even though they don't have very many spaces. Definitely not worth the money.

Another trip to SoCal and another great stay at the Crown Plaza Ventura. All the staff was helpful and friendly. Food was great and room was sparkling. Can't wait to get back. Only minor issue with Wi-Fi late at night, but resolved in AM.

I will start off by saying the hotel is in a wonderful location and the staff were excellent. Lobby and bar area were nice. The rooms however need some major improvement. The beds were terrible for a crowne plaza, similar to something you would see at a motel 6, the TVs were still old school tube style, the bathrooms were... More

I booked a last minute get-away and wanted a beach front hotel. I booked the Crowne Plaza in Ventura because of the location and the description from their website using words like "upscale", "simplified elegance" and "world-class". Our experience was...not quite. Check-in was super fast and friendly. Had a room on the 5th floor with two queen beds on the... More

I WROTE THE FOLLOWING IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR TRIP LAST SEPTEMBER: We are currently staying at the Crowne Plaza Ventura Beach (arrived Sunday Sept 2 and leaving Fri the 7th) and just felt the need to comment on how amazingly nice and helpful each staff member we've encountered so far has been (both hotel staff and restaurant staff alike)....

Stayed here on our way through to Ojai, and since we had never done Ventura. The hotel was nice the staff was friendly and helpful. Price was reasonable. The hotel is a bit older but in good condition. We had a nice view of the beach and pier (east side of building). Everything was within walking distance. A little disappointed... More

Great location on the beach and 2 blocks from downtown. The staff: they're very nice, and friendly, but they can't necessarily answer your questions, perhaps because they're almost all really young and probably haven't been on the job for very long? Maybe there's a lot of turnover? Not sure why but it can be frustrating. The room: pretty nice, the... More
