I really enjoyed my stay - wish I had more time - I would have stayed much longer.
Pros: Extremely friendly staff - fabulous outdoor area; patio was shaded with an excellent ocean front view and comfortable furniture - excellent location.
Cons: Primary areas are current and modern; rooms, towels and curtains are worn/stained - due for updating/replacement and remodel - glad that is on schedule.

Pros: Every employee we came in contact with was absolutely wonderful: good at his/her job and eager to assist. Also loved that the guest rooms had balconies.
Cons: Could have lived without the stained comforter or sheets. The room was well-appointed yet a bit cozier than anticipated given all the furniture.

Pros: The lobby was well maintained.
Cons: The Crowne Plaza is likely the best hotel in Ventura but it's only a 3-star. I stayed on the third floor and it looked pretty dumpy with carpets that should've been replaced long ago. So many other problems...the whole inside should be gutted.

Cons: Management is not responsible. They put us in a room close to the their heating system. It has malfunction but they did not move us till next day. Then manager offered us drinks and appetizer but I suggest he offer us one free night out of the 3 we paid.

Pros: Integrity of the staff. I accidentally walked off and left my wallet at the counter when checking in. I received it back in the morning fully intact and so far all credit cards appear fine as well.
Cons: Parking lot was inadequate and thus required the use of a public garage near by though the charges were reimbursed. It was just an inconvenience.

Pros: It was on the beach, what we could see of it? The ads made it look like you were facing the ocean, your not, the "Ocean View" was from an angle.
Cons: Terrible experience, will never go back again! Poor Ocean view traffic noise from freeway nonstop, no parking, party at hotel took all of the parking, what a nightmare! Will never go back again not worth the price.
