From the parking lot
Melissa L.

We went to a Christmas party at this location. The event was beautifully decorated. It was very elegant, with the winter feeling and the table scapes were just delicately decorated. The food that was catered was actually quite tasty. The charcuterie tables looked very delicious and pretty at the same time. The drinks served were ok, I was surprised that the bar didn't have Bailey's Irish cream, or amaretto liquor on hand. Over all it was an elegant event attending this location.

Bed bug bites

Beware, I got bed bug bites all over my body from staying at this hotel. I would not stay at this hotel again, and hope this is helpful to others considering staying here.

This hotel is all about location, location, location..:.:The hotel is just down the street from Ventura Beach. A short walk to Ventura Pier...and just a couple of miles from downtown Ventura. Beyond being in an ideal location, the hotel has had a major rehab from when I last stayed. The bedroom decor and furnishings are all new. The bed affords comfort that a Marriott should have in their rooms. New bathrooms exist in rooms too! Although, After all this money, a big miss was that Marriott did not invest in soundproof windows. The windows are still original thus you can hear highway and outside traffic. And the rooms are not soundproof so you can hear guest next to you as well as above you. With that said, if you are a light sleeper then this is not the hotel for you. As for breakfast; platinum members and above receive a complimentary breakfast buffet on weekends. Unfortunately the breakfast is horrible and bland. Supposedly breakfast buffet for two is 52 dollars. The coffee was even bad. During weekdays, breakfast is in the M club. Parking is a minimum of 16 dollars per a night for guest.

We stayed at this hotel over the weekend as we were attending a Weekend to Remember event. Our hotel experience was great. We checked in easily and went straight to our room (4th floor) to drop off our luggage. The room was clean and tidy. There was a safe available, but no fridge or microwave. The bathroom and shower were clean and well lit. There was also closet space and drawers for storage. To be honest, we didn't spend a whole lot of time in our room. I mean who wants to stay in a hotel when they can go to the beach and check out LA?! By the way, the beach is within walking distance of the hotel! There is an In N Out across the street, McDonald's about a block away , and gas stations nearby . The only thing we didn't pay much attention to was a $30 parking fee per day. I wish we would've caught this when booking the hotel on Hotels.com Also, while walking down the hall to our room we could hear other people in their rooms. Overall, the hotel stay was nice.

Stayed here with my husband for the weekend! It was super clean, quiet and they have a gym! They seem to be busy with work conferences and have a convenient location across from in n out burger and the walking trail next to the beach! Super beautiful area. I grew up in Ventura and will stay here again when visiting family and friends!

My wife, our puppy, and I, spent a few days in this hotel and it was so nice. The room accommodations were wonderful as the design was well thought out ! Space utilization was matched with the correct size / placement furniture and indirect lighting while giving enough of a widened traffic pattern to not be claustrophobic or overcrowded. The balcony, surprisingly, had only one small chair. However, it was a rainy stay so no loss there. The bathroom was well designed with a beautiful and larger walk in shower coupled with great water pressure. Sliding doors on the shower, as well as, the bathroom assisted with space management. Color coordination and room design was simple, yet location appropriate. The bed was firm, yet comfortable, and the temperature control worked well. There was secure parking and plenty of spaces, despite the convention that was happening. Room service was prompt, food was fresh, and served on actual porcelain plates and metal flatware brought on a tray by a well dressed waiter with a food cart. I know that sounds silly but I have not seen that since before the pandemic. Thank you .. It was so nice to encounter that again !! Please keep up the great work !! It is sometimes the little things that mean a lot to your patrons. Smiles and being nice is free and that is exactly what we received from the staff !! Cheers !!

This is included in the buffet but they don't tell you

This is a nice basic Marriott with unhappy, bad service. Looks recently upgraded but the furniture they chose has worn quickly. The floor shakes as you walk around the room which is unsettling. Tiny balcony good for drying beach stuff. Small fridge. We had a suite which had 2 TVs, 2 closets and 2 full baths. Close enough to everything but you need a car. Our elevator smelled like grease and oil the whole trip. Babies/unattended children in the hot tub with alcohol/glass every time made us not use it. You would think security checked on things once and awhile or any of the staff, but not so much. Gym looks nice. The staff from "security" to the front desk to breakfast was all really unhappy. No good notes there. The staff being rude and unhappy can really ruin a vacation. Overall, we expected more but it was fine.

See all

Ask the Community - Ventura Beach Marriott

Is the beach good for boogie boarding or rocky?

No boogie boarding there. It is beautiful though.

Does this hotel offer EV charging?

Does this feel like a beach hotel? How far is it to the beach and is the nearby beach good for littles?

I would say yes it feels like a beach hotel. It is only ~1 block from the hotel until you're in the sand; very easy walking distance. It's very close! I think the nearby beach is acceptable for kids, yes.

Cons: Water pressure, water temperature and the slippery shower was like an ice rink! We had to put down towels to avoid slipping. Mentioned to front desk and they mentioned it should have had a shower mat, but even housekeeping only gave us extra towels; the lighting in the hallways seemed very off and spooky, along with the carpeting in the halls was worn and rumpled up; Did not like the lack of human customer service. The windows on the balcony were very dirty so you can't clearly see out, but there is a balcony. Literally parked our own valet car and they never moved it. Not worth the $400 a night (including fees).

Worse Than Zero Stars -- Shocking Lack of Hospitality, Deception, and Unbearable Noise…read moreSave your money and peace of mind: avoid the Crown Hotel at all costs. From the second we pulled up, the service was non-existent. The valet staff didn't bother to greet us or offer to help with our luggage; apparently, their personal conversation was far more important than paying customers. When we tried to check in around 2:00 PM, the front desk informed us that the available rooms were right next to the noisy freeway. However, they promised that if we were willing to wait two hours, they could place us in a room with an ocean view. We patiently waited the entire two hours. When we finally checked in and went up to our assigned room, where was it? Right next to the freeway and right next to the train tracks. The massive, constant noise from the freeway traffic and passing trains made the room unbearable. They flat-out lied to us after making us waste two hours of our trip just to stick us in a room with intolerable noise from both sides. Frustrated, we called down to the front desk to get this corrected. Instead of fixing their mistake, they brushed us off and claimed a manager would contact us. By 4:30 PM--with a 5:00 PM dinner reservation fast approaching and still no word from management--I called back for an update. The front desk agent answered with pure attitude, treating me like I was the inconvenience. She rudely snapped that they were "busy" and that the manager would get to us whenever they felt like it. The unbearable noise, utter lack of communication, complete disrespect from the staff, and dishonest room promises ruined our stay. Management clearly does not care about guest satisfaction, and the front desk staff acts like customer service is a burden. Do yourself a favor and book anywhere else in Ventura.

Every Summer, the Ventura County Fair is here for about a week & a 1/2. I've gone at least once or…read moretwice every year. This year had some changes which made it either good or bad for some people. The layout seemed more spread out & open. The last few years, there have been some changes especially with concerts. You can still go GA (General Admission) or upgrade with an additional purchase to VIP. A big change for 2026 was the use of small purses or a new clear bag policy. I didn't mind because I already had a clear bag that I use when I go to concerts & sporting events. They still implemented security & metal detection before going into the fair. I did not ride any rides or play any games. Note: This is where you can spend the most. You can purchase wristbands or buy digital tickets at the different kiosks for carnival rides & games. I read other people complained about food. About some food not being good or it wasn't the food that they wanted. Either way, you're at a fair & it's fair food lol. You should definitely expect to spend $$ on food. Something new I tried: French Toast (Olde Tyme Ice Cream) Adult Lemonade (@ Beer Garden) Strawberry Glazed Almonds Sweet Chili Popcorn (@Kettle Corn Stand) Always a Fair Favorite: Kettle Corn Popcorn Corndogs Cinnamon Rolls (Must get!) Glazed Almonds (They were located inside the Building this year) Some concerts I've seen here at the VC Fair in the past include: Ashanti, Boys II Men, Chaka Khan, Huey Lewis and the News, KC and the Sunshine Band, Kool & The Gang, Ludacris, Salt N Pepa, Sugarhill Gang, Vanilla Ice, UB40 & more (I just forgot lol).

Spent $450 on a Tuesday afternoon being there for only 5 hours with my girlfriend. $120 for the 2 unlimited ride wristbands, $60 for two tickets to enter the fair, $5 for each bottled water, no AC in any of the buildings so you have no place to cool down if you get too hot or feel woozy from a ride. Food isn't special, can be had anywhere anytime for MUCH cheaper. A single small ice cream was $12. A slice of pizza? Also $12 for A SLICE! Most of the rides suck, they had 3-4 versions of the same, very sad walkthrough mirror thing that has nothing in it, just different theming even though they are identical "rides." You walk through a very short window/mirror room, go up some stairs, and ride a regular plastic slide down. $8 to do that. There was a "Conjuring" themed dark ride that had absolutely nothing to do with The Conjuring movies and was embarrassingly bad. There was little to nothing in the ride... 1 sad Michael Myers mannequin, no music, no sound effects, no AC, and the ride last maybe 40 seconds... $8. Total ripoff. Nothing is special, nothing is worth the price. The food can be good, but you can get that same food year-round anytime anywhere for half the price. It's just not worth what they charge not even remotely. Could have just went to Disneyland for the same amount and got way more bang for my buck.

I also have to give a huge shoutout to Dre, who was an amazing host! I loved how he took the time to explain the whole concept behind the restaurant and share the family background. You can really feel the love and passion behind this place, and that made the experience even more special. I absolutely love supporting local, family-owned businesses, and this one is officially my new favorite!

If your quinciañera event gets cancelled with no excuse or if they don't want to book your event because it's a quinciañera, know it's because these people are racists and they made us have the worst possible experience. One week prior to my event they changed management without even giving a heads up. New manager named Bob was really aggressive and unaccommodating. When I mentioned the horrible experience I was receiving by Bob nobody took the decency to give me a call back or follow up except for the bartender manager. When I mentioned to his staff how aggressive he was towards me they all mentioned how nobody was pleased of having him there because he is also aggressive to his staff members! The owner Ron knew exactly what was going on and never even had the decency to approach us and get our side of the story he only listened to what Bob had to say and obviously Bob was going to say whatever Ron wanted to hear. A day before the event he wanted us to cancel our caterer (previous manager had said it was ok for us to use whatever caterer we wanted to and that they could station themselves outside) when we confronted him and told him that's not what we agreed on he threatened to call the police department and after him "contacting " Ron turns out it was ok for us to use whatever caterer we wanted to. During the event he was drinking when technically he was working. At the end of the night he wanted to force us to clean up the hall when we payed for hall clean up . If there are some things that not included in the hall clean up service why not specify it in the contract? Since Bob was drunk already he approached us in a very aggressive way and threatened to take us to court if we didn't clean.
