I attended a conference for work and the staff at your Crowne Plaza in Ventura were wonderful. It was my first time staying here. Also, the fitness center was spacious enough to work out in too! I was not sure if my room had a view of the ocean and it did! Ivan who is the manager at the restaurant down stairs made me a delicious cocktail with my dinner on Sunday night! He was very pleasant and so was your entire restaurant staff. However, the Santa Cruz room we had for the conference was not accessible for wheelchair users or people who use walkers, etc. Overall, I would definitely come back!

Crowne Plaza Ventura Beach

Wonderful location. Step out of the hotel and you are on your beach walk. Our room had a beautiful view of the ocean and Surfer's Point. We left the patio door open all night and slept happily in the sea breeze. One caution, the hotel is close to the 101 freeway and the railroad tracks. It didn't bother us, but some people may be more sensitive.

Unfortunate stay

We arrived early to play at the beach, paid the valet and left our bags in storage; and after aprx 2 hrs we received a phone call that the hotel overbooked and needed to cancel our reservation. We had 3 kids very excited for this stay, which I expressed to the supervisor, who was able to find us a room. I then received another call from the hotel about 2 hrs later that I would need to contact hotels.com because the credit card was being declined. After being on hold about 20 mins, they finally worked it out. The supervisor upgraded our room for our trouble. We finally went to retrieve our room key at 4pm and had to wait in a long line, despite already having physically checked in. The manager gave us complimentary breakfast vouchers. Later that night we called down for more towels and an extra blanket, which we never received. The tv doesn’t offer and streaming services where you can login with our own credentials so we were forced to pay 10 for a family/kid friendly movie. The toilet ran every 2 minutes. Finally, after checking out, I called twice regarding phone chargers I left in the room and left 2 voicemails asking that they please hold them so I could pick them up, but never received a call back.

Nice hotel ( a bit expensive). Nice place. Staff for the most part were nice. I did ask a front clerk if there was an outdoor shower to wash sand off your feet. She immediately replied “no there isn’t “ I went by the pool and yes there was one. Maybe she didn’t know. Anyway good hotel I would stay again.

I was impressed by the hotel's beauty and cleanliness. The location on the water was also a significant advantage. Nevertheless, I was disappointed by the front desk staff's lack of customer service, which was similarly inadequate during my previous stay. To enhance their performance, I strongly recommend that they participate in training seminars.

Beautiful ocean views and lots of walkable food options. Noise from karaoke bar lasted until almost 11 pm and Amtrak trains run right next to the hotel. Also, the bathrooms have sliding barn doors that are noisy if you open them while others in the room are sleeping. I would still stay here though because of the positives.
