Hello, I wanted to visit Hotel Crown Plaza because it was recommended for having very good reviews, although at the arrival moment it was the opposite from what was promised. First of all, before my arrival I requested an infant bed for my daughter and was promised to be there upon arrival, I never got it and after complaining about it right away I didn’t get a response. Second of all, after getting to my hotel room at night there was a problem with the sink, the water was clogged! We called for room service but there wasn’t maintenance at the time which there should be for an emergency. Third of all, we got moved to another room, mind you we are a family of four which it says on the app and the security that went to see the problem also saw a family of four, well they moved us to a bedroom of one bed; of course we don’t fit there so we had to asked again for another room which was changed later, all this happened at one in the morning and also they moved us from 4th floor, to the 5th and lastly the 7th floor. Lastly the last room we got didn’t have water pressure for hot water. For a hotel of good reviews and also expensive shouldn’t have all this problems.

We got a 9th floor room with a magnificent ocean and pier view. The room was clean and quiet. The gal at the front desk was wonderful. The bed was very comfortable. The location was superb. Three things that were not great: 1) there was no room on the bathroom counter for anything. 2) the air conditioner from the floor above us was consistently dripping and our balcony was very wet, and 3), the bathroom light was blinding in the middle of the night due to an opaque door. It was a great stay and we will return!

I was excited to stay at this location due to the location.
Not very impressed unfortunately...our room was not clean..the carpet was damp like they just shampooed it. Trash under beds and a ring in the tub .. ridiculous for the cost..

The view was extremely disappointing, on the site it had 2 choices standard partial view and 2nd ocean view ALL the rooms are partial view...we spent 900.00 for this. We had a view of the building and some beach view. HOTELS.COM will definitely here from us.
People had large dogs ,I have a fur baby so it doesn't bother me but 2/3. Front staff was great but honestly I would of payed less at Pierpoint and had a better view.

I will never stay here again..

We were placed in likely the worst room of the hotel; room 227. Directly next to the 101 freeway and Amtrak train line with the freeway noise and trains blaring the horn until after 11pm and starting again before 7am. This rendered the “balcony” unusable. We requested four additional pillows and were told we could only have three. We requested a late checkout at noon instead of the standard 11am on a Sunday and were denied the request. We used valet parking and I’m not sure how to describe what happened. I exited the lobby to take our dog out to go to the bathroom and noticed my car was pulled up with the windows down, the doors and trunk open. I asked the valet why my car (Black BMW 540i) was pulled up and they said they accidentally retrieved the wrong car. I was under the impression that is why a ticket with our claim number was taped to the windshield to prevent things like that happening. Fortunately, the person they were trying to give my car told them it was not his car. No explanation, no apology. Lastly, there was a live band playing near the pool area on Saturday night and there were at least a dozen people smoking pot in a relatively small area. Something to consider if you are bringing children. We will not be staying at this property again.

I chose an ocean side view for a few more dollars but I only got a sliver tiny and obstructed view of the ocean and got the furthest room near the road. The highway was too loud and kept me up at night and the train is pretty loud when it is running through. The room is decent. Beds are comfortable. Bathroom is small. The hooks don’t hold the towels and am not sure what they’re meant to do. I think the highlight of this experience is the amenities (nice gym pool and free coffee) and how close it is to the beach.

Stay with family was awesome and the front desk staff was great. However, the in room dining was horrible. They took my order to the wrong room, unapologetically they gave us the salad we ordered, not fresh and over an hour later. Next, my bill had additional in room dining charges. I showed my receipt and on the bill it showed the incorrect room so they removed the charges but apprehensively. That put a damper on my stay because it ruined the vibe. Overall for this stay 3.8.

The hotel itself was fine. It was clean and comfortable enough.
We were there on a Saturday and they had live music in the restaurant and pool area. It was really loud and the pool area was very crowded. I tried to order room service and it went to voicemail, so called the front desk to ask about it. They said they would have room service call us, but they never did.
The hotel is right next to the beach and has partial ocean views. It is also right next the freeway and trains that go by frequently, so you can’t sit on the balcony and listen to the waves because you can’t hear them.

The property is well located right off the beach.. It is a short walk to the Main Street where there is a lot of entertainment and food.

However, the property is starting to show its age. It needs a refresh. It needed a new mattress in our bedroom and the bathroom was a little worn.. the staff were less than helpful. The self-help market downstairs was not stocked well, without a single bottle of water the entire trip we were there.. I asked staff about it. They said yeah we have some but they’re not cold..

We ended up checking out early the night before we were supposed to migrated up to Santa Barbara and had a lovely time

No notice that you’d have to park at the area across the way in parking facility that isn’t safe also they charged me parking when I had a handicap free parking would not take off the additional fee when it wasn’t even on there property but the cities . I was not happy with this hotel at all . The only thing good was that there are close places to eat there facility however for food is outrageous but the well over charged cheese cake pistachio was delicious well presented but way over priced for $13.00 the wait was outrageous as well ! I would not come here again until changes are shown . The staff was extremely rude in phone on early ck in n that there so busy with weekend things going on that there wasn’t parking on property . Just very rude . However when I cked in at 2 too see if my room was avail it was indeed ready had been ready for some time but they did not call me even tho I texted I needed early ck in . Nothing was given about use of bikes or anything . Again I don’t think I’ll stay here again .

Great hotel, right on the beach. The staff is great. The room was nice. Price was OK. My feedback for the hotel is, if I am paying $300 for a room, your could upgrade the amenities. Paper cups for coffee and water. Upgrade to real coffee cups, and glass for water. Make your guests feel like they are paying and staying in a 5 star hotel. This is one of the only hotels on the beach in Ventura and it is close to the promenade and pier and can walk to downtown. The location can't be beat. This is why I gave it a 5 star but they could make it feel like you are staying in a 5 star by upgrading the amenities.
