Amanzi Hotel, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had an ocean view room which does have the freeway and train right outside but with the double windows you could barely hear them. Great location, room was large and bathroom was well separated from sleeping area which is great if one person is waking up earlier. Also sinks in and out of the actual bathroom, which was great. Free parking onsite was nice. Breakfast wasn’t great but hey, it was free."

Hampton Inn Channel Islands Harbor/Oxnard

"I stayed in a marina view room and it was perfect for watching the sunset! I took a boat tour to the Channel Islands the next day and the hotel is in a perfect location to walk over to the launch site. The pool was nice and having breakfast included was a real treat!"
