My home away from Home

Reviewed By countrywriter

The Ventura Beach Marriott is literally my home away from home. I loved my suite with office desk (yes I still have to work). My computer, big screen TV where I can access all my Amazon Prime and Netflix shows.. Showtime is free!.. My bed is so, so comfy.. amazing pillows.. Great bathroom, Everything you need and it is only a quick walk to the sandy beach. I liked that you had to request housekeeping... You could schedule it to suit. No knocking at the door early in the morning.. I didn't require it daily.. They have a long term rate .. I stayed for 6 weeks... Oh and a swimming pool, work out room.. close parking... You can't go wrong.. and the staff are super friendly.

Classy, well-maintained hotel

Reviewed By EvanL

The Amanzi Hotel is located a short walk (7-8 mins) from the town of Ventura. We spent a night in a room with 2 Queen beds in late May 2022. The room was clean and pleasantly-decorated, and had a large bathroom with a sink inside and another outside it. The room was clean. Check-in a smooth. The room came with breakfast. They observed Covid protocol maybe too strictly - the gentleman serving us kept watching what we took and took a while to serve us when other guests were waiting in line.

good overnight stay

Reviewed By RedFiona

This is a good overnight stay if you're doing other stuff. It's not somewhere you would want to spend an evening in as it's just really a sleeping place. But it's clean, the accessible room was very good. There was laundry facilities which I found helpful. The grab and go bag for breakfast wasn't great I have to say. But we got a good recommendation to get good pizza to bring back to the room as we were too tired to go out one night. The staff were friendly. Car park is pretty small if you need to access the hotel easily with luggage and have mobility issues, but there are spaces put aside for premium members which were usually empty, not terribly helpful as all the disabled parking spaces were taken. I thought for the price it wasn't really worth it, as it wasn't a cheap stay.

Reviewed By donotgoh

This has to be the worst hotel I have ever stayed at...and my husband used to always want the Motel 6 until I finally got fed up and refused. THIS HOTEL IS A H*LL HOLE! The room was dirty, the bathtub so unbelievable that I took a photo to show my fellow guests, no stoppers in the sinks, looked like they had painted over black mold on the shower ceiling, bugs in the carpet, faucets dripping, not enough shampoo, no lotion or conditioner, and the location was so sketchy I honestly did not feel safe. No vending machines that worked, the breakfast was brown bags with breakfast bars, some fruit cups and some real fruit, a few cups of yogurt, no juice (machine broken) and coffee that tasted sour. The pool and hot tub were filthy and the (beautiful) swallows that lived in the upper reaches of the pool area pooped on me and the pool and the umbrellas. It was an absolute mess. STAY AWAY.

Budget stay with a great location

Reviewed By phvi2617

This is a pretty standard Motel 6. Not the newest property, but clean and simple. The front desk was friendly and I got good sleep, but the best part was the location. It's right off the freeway and within walking distance of both Main Street and the beach. Overall, a very good place to stay for the price.

Don't stay here !!!!

Reviewed By 316eneidad

Every employee has a bad attitude and treat you as if you are stupid when you ask any questions but they don't have any smart answers to give you. The female manager is a joke she walks around the entire property with her boyfriend talking crap and laughing about how much she doesn't care about any costumers. Every time I have been in the front office there is always someone saying they were disrespected in some way and she stands there with a little smirk. Do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else the ants and roaches will eat everything in your dirty room while your trying to unclog the toilet that was left from the previous customer. There is a reason this is a 2 star place and it shows the moment you step out the car

Great price for a clean, cozy, cute hotel.

Reviewed By MarriedWidow

This affordable hotel was way nicer than its lower than average prices indicates. Our room even had a microwave oven and refrigerator! It had marble counter tops, laminate floors, within a clean attractively decorated room. The proprietor was as delightful as the decor. My husband and I both felt thoroughly refreshed after sleeping on their comfortable mattress. Good deal and I am glad we stayed here.
