Ventura Beach Marriott
2055 Harbor Blvd., Ventura, California 93001 USA

It is a Category-5 property located in the city of Ventura Beach about 200 yards from the San Buenaventura State Beach. The property looks very well maintained.

Hotel Entrance
In the courtyard

It has a very nice courtyard in the middle with lots of plants and a nice waterfall. It looks like they imported an oasis in there. The courtyard also features a smallish size heated swimming pool (open till 10 pm) and a Jacuzzi.

Pool Area

The back lobby looks pretty swanky. The business center is right next to the check-in area with 3 computers.

Lobby in the back
Bar Area

It has a restaurant and bar that is open till 10 pm. The room service prices seemed a little high to me but might be standard for the location and category of hotel.

The room was clean, showing no signs of aging and was decent size. The bathroom however seemed a bit small. I didn’t like the mattress but as always I liked the Marriott comforters. One of these days I am gonna buy one of them from their website (looks a bit out of my price range but oh well !!)

King Room
