Categories

Cleanliness
7.8
Mixed: several reviews note generally clean rooms but multiple reports of ants, an animal smell in the lobby, and a clogged sink in one room — cleanliness is acceptable but inconsistent.
Service
9.5
Very positive: staff repeatedly described as helpful, polite and attentive; one minor issue mentioned about a desk recommendation and occasional housekeeping timing problems but overall service is a strong point.
Location
9.4
Excellent: consistently praised for waterfront/harbor/marina location and proximity to restaurants and Channel Islands — location is a major highlight.
Room Quality
8.2
Generally strong: rooms described as large, comfortable beds, good showers and nice balconies for marina-facing rooms; some negatives include noisy A/C, occasional small room size for families, bent screen door and occasional pest issues.
Amenities
8
Good but with gaps: breakfast and pool are positives, basic toiletries provided but bulk dispensers and missing items (e.g., shower cap) noted; parking tight and no recycling/filtered water options called out.
Value for Money
7.8
Mixed to slightly below expectation: one guest explicitly said price-performance was not right and others noted small service/amenity shortfalls that affect perceived value.
Food and Beverage
8.6
Positive overall: breakfast is repeatedly described as good/great with protein options, though supplies sometimes ran out and one comment called breakfast 'cheap'—generally reliable but with occasional stocking issues.
Overall Experience
9.5
Strong overall: many guests would return or recommend, praising cleanliness, comfort, views and staff; issues exist (ants, noisy AC, housekeeping timing) but do not dominate the overall stay impressions.

Great location in Oxnard in a truly lovely, relaxing hotel!
Pros:

This is a lovely hotel on the water near Channel Islands. The room was HUGE with a table and chairs as well as a balcony with chairs, really lovely. Wonderful shower, overall one of the best Hampton Inns we have stayed at!

Cons:

Silly, but the young man on the desk when we checked in recommended a restaurant that turned out to be a total dive bar! That's it, it was otherwise a fantastic place to stay!

Pros:

Great location, comfortable rooms and beds, beautiful views for rooms facing the marina.

Breakfast was good with eggs and other protein. However supplies ran out before 10 am.

Soaps, shampoos and lotion provided in bulk in the rooms.

Cons:

Improvements that could be made:
Currently no recycling on site, while guests are given plastic water bottles for drinking water. Breakfast utensils and plates are thrown into the trash every day.

Please show environmental stewardship and leadership. For example, filtered water could be made available in the lobby and breakfast room for guests to fill their own bottles. If you want throw away plates and utensils, at least use plant based/compostable materials, as many hotels do. Thank you!

Pleasant. Would definitely book another room here.
Pros:

The location and how clean and quiet it was, and the staff was polite and helpful.

Cons:

Very little. The screen door was bent a bit for the balcony, but I hardly used it and it still moved so it wasn’t a big problem.

Schöner Aufenthalt, Preis Leistung stimmt aber nicht
Pros:

Die Unterkunft hatte eine super Lage, direkt am Meer (zu Fuß ca. 20 Minuten, mit dem Auto etwa 5 Minuten). Der Pool war sehr schön und übersichtlich, mit viel liegen und Schirmen. Das Zimmer war sehr modern und sauber. Frühstück war für amerikanische Verhältnisse gut.

Cons:

Leider war das houskeeping Personal immer zu ungünstigen Zeitpunkten oder auch einfach gar nicht da, was man für den Preis eigentlich schon erwarten könnte. Das Zimmer war im vergleich zu anderen Familien Zimmern relativ klein, für 4 Personen eher ungeeignet.

Acceptable!
Pros:

Property well maintained. Room was clean and comfortable.

Cons:

There was not enough handy cap parking close to the main entrance of the hotel building. Only 2 spaces! At least 4 should have been available. And maybe 6 would have been better.
