Amanzi Hotel, an Ascend Collection Hotel

Amanzi Hotel, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I really like this hotel. We have stayed here for the last 4 years. It has become my family’s hotel of choice in Ventura. The front desk staff is friendly, Housekeeping does a wonderful job while having a friendly attitude. The Food staff is accommodating, and the breakfast spread has something for everyone. The evening “get acquainted hours” is yummy and relaxing way to unwind after a long day or start to evening fun. The Amanzi Hotel is right off the freeway and easy to get to. It is very close to the beach and the fairgrounds. All this and the price is reasonable. It is easy to see why The Amanzi Hotel is such a great Hotel."

Inn On The Beach

Inn On The Beach

8/10 Good
"The location is perfect; It is just at the beach. The staff is nice. I just learnt I need to contact the staff to have an upper level room with extra payment. The upper level rooms are better. The problem is the air circulation is not good in the room. My wife got low blood oxygen problem. When I measured my blood oxygen, it was also as low as 92. Then I realized there was no enough oxygen in the room. After we sat outside the room, it was recovered."
