Residence Inn by Marriott Oxnard Hotel - Page 1

Residence Inn is a favorite hotel chain due to the kitchenette, the fireplace and the overall comfort. It is competitive with other hotels that provide similar amenities. I frequently look for a Residence Inn hotel when I travel for lengthy trips.

This hotel made me feel practical: It provided everything I needed to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. It is practical by providing reasonable, comfortable furnishings and amenities without trying to impress with gimmicks of fake luxury.

One of the best things about this inn is the location, is that it’s convenient to the 101 interstate, but in a quiet residential area.

Although I agree with the review about modernizing, everything in my room was clean and in working order. The staff is efficient and accommodating, always pleasant and offering a warm greeting.

The daily breakfast was good, with a nice variety of selections on the buffet. Monday through Thursday they have a happy hour with beer, wine and soft drinks as well as an appetizer. The appetizer changes daily, but is often adequate to serve as an evening meal.

The employees that staff the room during the happy hour can always be seen greeting guests and making them feel welcome, they make friends quickly and are often asked to join in group photos.

Parking may be the only negative as the area furthest from the main building fills quickly during the week and the area closest to the main building overflow with guests for the wedding receptions and events held on the weekends.

The Residence Inn hotel in Oxnard is lovely, on the golf course and I love the breakfast room and the lobby. The only thing is, I think it is time for an update on the rooms. The room I stayed in looked like it was last redecorated in the seventies!

The rooms are spacious with kitchen, living area, comfortable beds and linens and acceptable bathrooms. From Monday to Thursday they have happy hour in the lobby building. The three times we went, the food was surprisingly good, especially the barbeque night with free beer and wine, too, as well as soft drinks. Buffet breakfast is also included, but we did not go. It is a solid and dependable place to stay in Oxnard.

Everything was fine at this hotel. The food was good, the meeting rooms were fine, and temperatures were fine. But the pool closed too early and there was not quite enough parking. The desk personnel were nice and prompt and everything worked properly. Glasses for water and drinks were too small and did not hold enough liquid. Otherwise, everything was fine, fine, fine.
