Berniece and Scott at Front Desk were very accommodating and made our stay extra memorable. They are prompt, professional and friendly upholding the high standards and charm of this property. Ventura is a fun and quite weekend getaway spot. The hotel is very relaxing and entire staff goes out of their way to make you feel at home. Grounds are kept very neat and the pool/jacuzzi areas are amazing! We hope to be back again : )

The location is awesome for walking down to the harbor. Often, and especially today, I've had some really good experiences with the staff so want to give them a shout out so that it's noticed - that makes it great to come here too. Also, breakfast is pretty awesome compared to other Marriotts. Coffee was commendable.

Awesome stay at the Harbor! ​I just spent a few days at the Four Points Ventura Harbor and I’m super happy with my choice. The location is unbeatable—literally a short walk to the Harbor Village shops and restaurants. ​The room was clean and comfy, the staff was chill and helpful, and the whole vibe was just really relaxing. Definitely the best bang for your buck if you want to be right by the water. Highly recommended!

Older hotel but in very good condition. Outstanding location at the harbor away from freeway. Nice pathways and modest walking distance to Marina venues. Lacks the portraits that adorn Marriot brand properties but otherwise as good or better than many Residence Inns. The bed was excellent. The jacuzzi enclosure is right out of the 70s -- not to be missed.

Got in late. Great service from front desk and restaurant. Room was dated but clean and comfortable. Tub could have used a slip mat but had grab bars. No problems with AC or plumbing. We were on the ground floor with outside door, but noise was not a problem. Beds were comfortable. Lobby coffee was very good. We would stay again.

It was a really pleasant stay — the views of the harbor were great and the vibe felt relaxed and easygoing. The room was comfortable and clean, and it was nice being close to cafés and shops right by the water.

This hotel was okay. The location is the best part; it looks like they did significant remodeling of the lobby and guest rooms, which was nice, but our room looked like it needed some help still. The bathroom layout was weird, which a huge room for the tub/shower and toilet. Some of the bathroom fixtures looked like they needed to be replaced. The grounds were also not in the best condition, but not bad either. The proximity to the harbor makes up for some of it.

We went to a conference here. Although the buildings looked older than the Holiday inn, it smelled better. The room was spacious. Food was great since they had just changed chefs when we were there. Only one complaint is that the room was too dark!
