This was a nicer Courtyard than most. Room was a little outdated, however it was big. Lobby was nice with the standard market and a bar. Would stay here again

Nothing special about this hotel. It did live up to what you would expect from Marriott. No complaints.

We got a good deal online at Venere. The Hotel itself was great as was the staff BUT the Hotel is 1,200 ft from RR tracks & though our room faced away from the RR tracks, you still heard the train whoo-hooing until midnight. Highway 101 was only 200 ft away & in a normal hotel, it might not be a problem but this is California, where I have yet to see a hotel with double paned insulated windows, or one that has a seal that keeps out air & sound. Sure enough, you could poke your finger from one side of the window seal to the outside...when the window was closed, so fresh air in early Nov. was kinda ok, but the Swooshing highway traffic might have done us in if we hadn't come prepared with a white noise maker (that we travel with). Unfortunately nothing covers up a train giving it's warning as it passes a crossing ! Did I mention the airplanes at 6 am ? I don't think there are commercial flights going out of the Oxnard airport (2 miles away) or the Camrillo Airport (4 miles away) ..so I guess what we heard were crop planes...but having been kept up till midnight by the trains, being woken up by the "Red Baron" at 6am was rude and scary. On the plus side the beds were VERY comfy. On the weird side, there was a large wood coffee/microwave cart sticking out from the wall at the end of the bed between the bed & the bathroom...what the heck, that's gonna hurt when you go trying to find the bathroom with the lights out ! Because there was a wedding & a birthday bash going on(on main floor), we were given a room on the 6th floor...we didn't hear the Mariachi band that went till ? But we did see lots of women in tight 2 inch skirts & 10 inch heels, staggering around the hotel lobby & parking lot at night. The next morning we saw g-strings & handfulls of feathers everywhere...we even saw a man wandering toward toward lobby in only boxers & a feather boa the next morning at breakfast time. Please note: there is NO free hotel shuttle to LAX...their website says hotel shuttle...to get a shuttle to LAX you have to get make arrangements outside of the hotel (we used Roadrunner)

Was a bit concerned at first, since the hotel is right next to a freeway. However, our rooms were quiet, even though they were on the highway side. Good clean rooms, breakfast buffet, very convenient to Ventura retaurants, reasonable prices.....
