This is our last night here. Booked for 3 nights. Tried this hotel based on the reviews I read and I am not disappointed at all. It may be an older property but we are very pleased with our room - very clean and comfortable. We have a king with the sofa, it's on the first floor facing the courtyard which is so well maintained and looks beautiful. I usually don't like staying at exterior corridor hotels but I do not have a problem with this one at all. It is very quiet and I feel very comfortable and safe here. They do have a great breakfast in the morning. I can't comment on the food but my husband ate and said the food was very good. They had eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, french toast, muffins, yogurt, juice, cereal, fruit etc. and of course good coffee. A great breakfast variety which is unusual in most places. The staff is very nice and helpful makes you feel very welcome. We also ate one night at Erics Restaurant which is attached to the hotel - very good food and a very pleasing atmosphere. We would definitely stay here again should our travels take us to Thousand Oaks.

We booked this hotel based largely on its positive TripAdvisor reviews, & we weren't disappointed. Yes, it's older & typical of a "garden court" type motel, & some aspects are aging such as interiors. But they are also keeping up with improvements; while we were there, they tore out numerous patches of "lifted" cement & re-poured them. This was sort of a pain when trying to get in from the parking lot, but still it was work that needed to be done. We were in an inward-facing unit & although we were on the freeway side, we heard no noise inside the unit. There is a Ralph's, gas & Starbucks next door & a Walgreens across the street, which made it very convenient. The only problem we experienced with the room (non-functioning TV) was quickly fixed, although we had to wait a day as there are no maintenance staff there on Sunday. (Still, the guy at the front desk came right over & tried to ascertain the problem in the meantime.) The pool is lovely & is well maintained, although it was too cool for swimming while we were there. As others have noted, the breakfast buffet is generous; you won't go away hungry. Considering that it's included in the pretty modest room price, I certainly can't complain! We easily could've paid the amount it cost us for several nights here for a single night at another hotel.

This is less than 10 miles to the Ronald Reagan Library which is in Simi Valley. The hotels in Simi Valley charge exorbitant rates when there is an event at the library. This hotel is at the edge of a shopping center so restaurants are within walking distance as are grocery store, dollar store, bakery, etc. Access to Hwy 101 is at the entrance to the hotel. For $85 (half of what Simi Valley hotels were charging) we had a nice room, in room coffee/tea, lawn area, pool/spa, patio seating and a terrific hot breakfast including those delicious make your own waffles. There is an attached restaurant, Eric's, with a lively bar scene. Our check in yielded us a drink chit per person as well. Friendly employees. Pet friendly.

A nice property. Pros: Spacious, well maintained grounds and a spacious room. Excellent full breakfast buffet served in a nice setting (with both inside and outside seating). Cons: The room was ready for refurbishing. It was clean and well maintained, but carpet was stained, it needed a paint job, etc. I'd stay again, if only for the spaciousness of the room and for the breakfast. It's still better than the chains. But I hope that the economy picks up (the place was almost empty) so that they have the resources to fix up the tired rooms.
