I woke up each morning to the sound of seagulls and the surf. In the evening I watched the sun set on the Pacific from my room. The staff was uniformly outstanding and they have the best happy hour deal anywhere, including the excellent calamari appetizer. Take a morning run on the beachside promenade.

I was lucky enough to spend my 40th birthday at the Crowne Plaza at the beach in Ventura. We had about forty friends/family join us for a great party in the smaller banquet room at the top of the hotel. It was a gorgeous evening and we all enjoyed the incredible ocean views before and during sunset. Amazing! The staff... More

If you are accustomed to vacationing at a five star hotel; you may want to revise your travel arrangements. I would agree with other reviews relating to the friendly staff and great location. Otherwise I was not impressed. The rooms were old, small and had that "old room smell". The bed was uncomfortable and the pillow left me with a... More

Dear ClaranceR, Thank you for staying with us during your recent trip to Ventura. I apologize that our hotel is not up to the standards and amenities of a 5 star hotel. The Crowne Plaza Ventura Beach Hotel is classified as a 3 start hotel, so we do lack certain amenities such as a sauna. However our staff does strive... More

Nice hotel on a strip of land between the freeway and Pacific. Situated so all rooms have a balcony and view of the ocean. Nice sized rooms---mine had a king-sized bed with white linens and room for a comfy deskchair and easy chair. Only complaint would be the poor lighting in the bathroom and lack of counter space there. Lots... More

My mom and I stayed here for three nights for a conference happening in the hotel. It was the classic case of a hotel looking pretty nice (and somewhat recently renovated) in the lobby area, but not having any renovations in the guest rooms. They were just old and tired looking. Armchairs were worn and ripped in places. Bathroom was... More

I got a great deal on Hotwire for this hotel, which was almost 1/2 the price of their original rate. I stayed for business for 1 week. The receptionists were pleasant, they have a bar with good happy hour and nice outdoor patio, too. Their restaurant is one of my favorites in Ventura. I recommend it!

Staying at the Crowne Plaza felt like an episode of “Fawlty Towers”. I discovered after settling into my room that the door did not lock from the outside, making a key quite unnecessary. I called down to reception and a staff member brought me a key card for another room. I then discovered I could not unlock the door of... More
