Comfortable and Convenient

This hotel was a comfortable and convenient place for us to stay while visiting friends in Ventura. The front desk clerk was the only staff member we interacted with and he was very nice. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean which are the two most important criteria as far as we are concerned. The place was also quiet which is always a plus. We recommend staying here.

I thought it was a nice property, but it did not have an ocean view. The hotel was clean. The room was spacious. Breakfast was good. For cocktail hour they had beer and wine and snacks, which was really nice.

Amanzi at Ventura

Most comfortable bed we ever slept on in a hotel. Stayed one week. Walked to Ventura pier twice a day. Complementary breakfast was not bad AND convenient BUT free wings and beer on Thursday night will bring me back! Also every member of the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly.

First time in Ventura, and the Amanzi was well positioned to make our stay as good as it could be. It’s just blocks away from both the beach and Ventura’s funky downtown area. Really nice place.

I was bummed I thought I picked and paid for an ocean front room and was put facing the street. The elevator was very difficult to use as there was no directions. Took up too 10-15 min at times to get it to work. Starting in the elevator each room smelt very bad. The hallways and the room all different but not pleasant smells.
