    Pool and hot tub view from room
    Philip S.

    You get what you pay for. On Priceline this location is listed as a 2-2.5 star hotel. And it was just that. The Good Everyone was extremely friendly. From the front desk to the breakfast people and housekeepers, all super nice, big smiles and came off genuinely happy to help with whatever we needed. The breakfast was packed out which is normally a good sign. There is a beautiful little area outside with tables and chairs so it you want to eat amongst the flowers and enjoy the weather you can do that (I'll post pictures of the spot I'm referring to). The price! This was a last minute booking, we needed something close to the beach without close to the beach prices. This hit the spot for use. Two queen bed suite with a pull out bed couch, about 450 square feet, for like $200! Yes please!" The bad The hotel room it self was not the best... I went to use the pull out couch bed and was greeted by what felt like the first mattress ever made. Fabric and springs only... the bedding for the same mattress had a good size yellow stain right in the middle. Use your imagination as to what it could have been... The queen beds were ok but just not as comfortable as other places. Then there was the bathroom... the pictures I posted tell their own story but there was a bit of everything. Unfinished corners, nasty spots between the wallpaper and paint and.. above the door mold. I'm 6'6 so most wouldn't catch it but I did first thing. I stayed in room 204, be on the look out, because you get what you pay for.

    The previous guest's poop was still in the toilet when I checked in.

    Major Complaint: When I checked into my room, poop from the previous guest was still splattered in the toilet. I called the front desk, and they sent someone up to clean it within 15 minutes, but I am not very confident in how well they cleaned the room. Poop splatters in the toilet is a pretty big thing to miss. Minor Complaints: The hallway had a funky odor. Luckily, the hallway odor did not seep into the room. When I opened the curtains, there was bird poop all over my window.

    Lamp that didn't work

    Gave them a second chance, will not be a third. When I arrived Ruby saw me entering the lobby and did not attempt to greet or acknowledge me. She went around the front desk to go tell someone else to make fresh coffee. I stood at the check in desk for a few minutes. Only when she returned and stood in front of the computer did she greet me. We arrived around 340 and when she asked for my ID and card she let me know that the rooms weren't ready. I told her that check in was at 3 and didn't understand why rooms weren't available. She looked at me and smirked that they'd had a lot of check ins that day. I informed her that was an issue she should notify her staffing manager about but as a client that shouldn't interfere with my stay. We waited almost 45 mins for rooms to be available. Ruby did not offer any kind of compensation or sincere apology to our party. It was as if she didn't care because, just like when we met her last year. She did not offer to ask management if they could do anything for us, or comp the two sodas we purchased while we waited. Upon entering the bathroom had a smell but as we were late to meet family we rushed to get ready and head out. When we got back from dinner it was maybe 830 and as we were there for a funeral we all got busy with finalizing what we needed for the following day. When I finally wanted to go to bed at 1130 I turned off the TV and heard a tick tick tick non stop coming from the AC unit. I attempted to call front desk but the phone didn't work. In addition to the large in room lamp. I was so annoyed at the service I didn't bother making a fuss over the lap upon check in. But the ac we didn't notice being so noisy. So at 1130 I went to the front desk where Randy was friendly and greeted me. He was able to provide me ear plus which helped and offered to change my room but as we had adjoining rooms I declined. On this visit we booked a total of 3 rooms, my uncles was separate as he's a veteran and needed a handicap room. The next morning we were rushing to get ready to check out and head to the funeral we were there for. The sewage in room 129 got backed up. We were so irate with the indifference from Ruby the day before that we just cleaned it up and left. The rooms weren't all that clean when we arrived we assumed it was because they rushed to complete them and check us in. The hall permeated with the smell of fabuloso upon check in and now we think it had to do with sewage. The halls after 4 were filled with carts the images posted of the two carts are after we got to our rooms and were heading to dinner. I don't comprehend how this hotel can claim to be high volume and busy yet not meet minimal expectations like a timely check in. My bathroom still had hair in the sink and then one next door that backed up had to have had issues prior to us checking in. We agreed that next time we're better off spending more and staying at the fairview hotel.... this holiday inn reminded me of staying at a motel.

    A hotel for people on the go. We booked a night here with IHG points and the cost in points was somewhat reasonable. The room was very spacious and had two queen size beds. Amenities included a mini fridge, microwave, desk, TV, safe, and a reading chair. There were ample power outlets and USB charging ports, and the free WiFi was stable but slow. The room had updated decor and modern touches, though parts of it still looked dated/worn - for instance, the doors would stick. The main negatives were the noise and the smell. The hotel is about 200 feet from the 101 freeway, so there's constant traffic noise. And the air conditioner in the room made a whining sound that was even more annoying than the traffic. At least we were able to turn off the unit. And both the room and the hallway had a strong chemical cleaner smell. The hotel has a good amount of amenities including a laundry room, fitness center, and a pool. The fitness center is fairly basic and has 3 treadmills, 2 ellipticals, a stationary bike, and free weights up to 50 pounds. In the morning, there's a basic continental breakfast including scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, veggie omelets, turkey sausage, English muffins, Yoplait yogurt, bananas, juice, milk, and coffee. No potatoes. Nothing spectacular here, but at least it's free. The highway location seems par for the course. Camarillo has several other hotels and they all seem to be right off the 101. Overall though, I have to give this place 2.5 stars. This is not a bad place to stay, but it could be better.

    This is a nice, clean hotel just off the 101 highway in Camarillo, CA. It's a great place to stop if you're driving on the 101 highway for a road trip, business or just visiting the area. The included breakfast is quite good and has eggs, potatoes, turkey sausage, oatmeal, etc. However, the seating area is small and can get crowded at popular times. The room itself is very clean and everything is well maintained. The staff are very nice but they need more people at the front desk as it took me a long time to check in and when I needed my keys fixed (they suddenly stopped working). There is definitely some highway noise, but it's not horrible unless you're an extremely light sleeper. Also, there isn't really anything within walking distance near the hotel (shopping, restaurants, etc) so you definitely need to get out and drive to any restaurants or shopping (I recommend going to the Camarillo Outlets which have a lot of shopping and restaurants and it's about an 8 minute drive from the hotel). Overall, great clean place to stay in Camarillo and would stay again if I'm in the area.

    I stayed here to celebrate my daughter's birthday. We got a nice room with a balcony facing the boats. The room looked clean, but it smelled like farts when I first open the door. The outside was clean too, but I did notice that there were spider webs all over. The landscaping was very well maintained. The elevator did sound funny, but it worked taking you up and down. The hotel is in a very great location. I will probably stay here again. Next time I will make sure to bring air freshener for the fart smells. The staff was very friendly. My neighbor wasn't so neighborly. I could hear them talking loudly and playing their music at night. Overall, I give them 4 stars, minus one for the fart smell. The other negative stuff can be overlooked.

    Stopped by for some work in the area and hotel was clean and upgraded. The room was nice with small fridge and pretty big closet compared to most rooms with a similar rating. There is USB outlets for all your gadgets to charge. The service was quick and easy for check in which was nice because who likes to wait forever when checking into a hotel. Service came with breakfast in the am with the typical food and was very much appreciated! The bathroom was comfortable and large enough to not feel cramped. They had everything you might need to get ready like hair dryer, ironing board and a coffee machine if you need one before getting downstairs. I felt very comfortable here and would stay here again.

    I can't say that Camarillo is a "destination" since there is not much to see. Perhaps if you are traveling here to shop at the Camarillo Outlets or are doing a PCH trip from Malibu. There are several other hotels in the area, from low to high pricing, but this Holiday Inn Express had the best reviews on Yelp and TripAdvisor. I spent the night with my sister here while she visited for a work trip and it was a comfortable stay overall. Our room was clean and spacious with everything we needed. The air conditioner worked well and was a must given the high summer temperatures. The beds were comfortable with bleach-white sheets and had three soft and one firm pillows each. The room's decor was pleasant and recently updated and modern (minus a horrible blue painted kitchen space). There was a reading nook, desk with an awesome dimmable lamp which had international plugs and USB chargers for all your gadgets, a flat-screen TV, microwave, mini fridge and coffee machine. Wi-Fi was quite quick allowing me to get some work done. The room was stocked with all the necessities. Lastly, while I didn't take advantage of it, there was complimentary hot breakfast available downstairs, a workout room (best place to fill up your water bottle) and an outdoor pool (which you access from outside--it is not connected to the hotel directly). My only complaints were: - The bathroom fan was extremely loud, yet did take care of the humidity from the shower so I didn't see any mold. Also the door opens the wrong direction so it is in the way of the toilet and shower making it tricky for more than one person to get ready at the same time. - The exterior walls were pretty thin so we could hear people talking in the parking lot and trailer homes across the way. Thankfully we weren't facing the freeway (other reviewers complained about the traffic noise). - Whoever thought that bright blue paint on the walls of the kitchenette was a good idea needs to reconsider their choices. - I unfortunately left my toiletry tote in the bathroom. I called immediately and the front desk staff said they would notify the cleaners. Sadly, I still have not received a call back. While I'd love to have it back, there wasn't anything of value in it. Overall, a solid 4/5 star stay.

    See all

The apartment had a living room and a fully equipped kitchen, including a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, and dishwasher. A few days before our stay, I called with some questions and was glad to speak directly with the onsite staff instead of a call center. The front desk team was friendly and helpful both over the phone and in person. Upon arrival, check-in was quick and easy. Despite what must be a high guest turnover, the apartment was clean and well maintained. The carpets were free of stains. Despite a few minor scuffs, the furniture was clean and in good shape. The refrigerator and microwave were clean and odor-free. The hotel also serves a simple breakfast each morning, with hot options like waffles, scrambled eggs, turkey sausage, and oatmeal, plus cold items like yogurt, cereal, fruit, and breads, along with coffee, tea, and juices.

All of Camarillo's hotels seem to be along the 101 freeway, meaning constant traffic noise. Bella Capri is on a less busy stretch of Ventura Blvd, away from the freeway, and the rooms face inwards around a small parking lot. So there's not much audible traffic noise. The rooms are small and clearances are tight, particularly in the bathroom. Our room had a comfy queen size bed, microwave, good sized mini fridge, TV, and a small round table. The free WiFi was on the slow side. Shower pressure was good but I had to frequently adjust the temperature to keep the water hot. Noise isolation was so-so. We didn't hear neighbors or plumbing through walls, but we did hear what sounded like a clothes washer on the other side. Every day we could hear the sound of people in the room above walking around. And in the very early hours of the morning (like 5am), I would get woken up by some thudding sounds outside; it sounded like someone throwing a heavy sack of something. So I stopped keeping the windows open overnight. Fortunately, the air conditioning unit worked well. There's supposed to be a small room with some fitness equipment, but we were told that it was closed while the staff figures out some ventilation issues since people complained that it gets too hot in there. And there's supposedly free breakfast, but that wasn't available to us because we booked through a travel portal. Overall, we had an okay stay here considering that the price was reasonable. Note that check-in ends at 10pm, so if you get here past that, you're out of luck. We forgot about the check-in time the first night and ended up having to stay with my parents an extra night. At least the price was still reasonable even after losing a night!

I have had a membership here for 3 years and have loved coming to the hotel to utilize what the membership has to offer. One of the "offers" is that we are given a pool pass to use throughout the year and I thought we were able to bring guests, but I guess that's not the case. I called the front desk and was transferred to Elizabeth who was rude from the get go. I asked if I could use my pool pass for a family member and she said no - only you can use it and the pass is verified with a number on the back of the card. My card does not have this number, and she accused me of lying. She also was extremely unprofessional and said "I don't know what to tell you girlfriend" when I asked if there is anything she could do to help resolve the situation. I told her that I was excited to renew my $350 membership this year but now I will not be renewing because of her unsatisfactory service. Her response was extremely sarcastic saying "Thanks for your phone call!". I expected a lot more from this highly rated hotel. I will not be going back ever again, and people who live in The Colony or surrounding areas should take note of this.
