This was our base for a trip to one of the islands of Channel Islands National Park. The harbor was only 3 minutes from the hotel and the visitor's center was about 10 minutes away. The hotel with its suites, buffet breakfast, pools, and easy access to beach was fantastic for our family. We've been here before and would return... more

Just south of Santa Barbara, this little gem is right on the beach. We splurged and got a suite (4 girls shared) and it was spacious and luxurious. The hotel is right on the beach. In-house restaurant was good, the pool was clean and sparkling and the spa was great. Hotel staff attentive. Only drawback is there isn't much outside... more

This is our fourth trip to Embassy Suites Mandalay Beach in Oxnard, so you can see that we really do enjoy it. The location cannot be beat; it is ocean front on an uncrowded, barely used stretch of beach that has a very nice walkway for walking, riding bikes, etc. In fact, the property includes some really fun bicycle carriages... more

My husband and I had such a wonderful time at your establishment. We just celebrated our 12 year anniversary and were able to get away for the night and come see this truly "hidden treasure". We bid on a nights stay at a Rotary "casino night" last October and we finally were able to come. Although we live a short... more

My room was clean and adequate, but it smelled musty. Shower heads were rusty and nasty looking, not an inviting environment for a shower. Comp breakfast was typical Embassy Suites, but portions were served by the "made to order" cook and I really didn't get all I wanted. All in all OK but not great. more

I typically book Embassy b/c of the great service, food & free internet. This is the first Embassy Suites that charged for internet and had a manager not understand that I am here for 2 weeks doing research. So, 20 mins at the free business center which consisted of 3 computers for 300 guests and teenagers isn't going to cut... more

I usually stay at Embassy Suites when I can. That's why I choose this one and because it is on the beach. 1. Rooms were nice and clean. Cleaning was thorough and courteous. 2. Breakfast didn't have enough seating and made you feel you were at a "cattle feeding trough". The major breakfast items were not on buffet. You had... more

I had mixed feelings about booking after reading the reviews. I was not sure what to expect. Needed something close for short vacation. Used miles from credit card, paid the money for ocean view. That is what made the trip the most enjoyable. Yes the rooms need updating, and the green paint on the walls was strange. It was really... more

When you choose to stay here, be sure to request at least "partial view" of the ocean. There are great balconies along the perimeter to relax on and watch the waves. The rooms were comfortable, spacious, and clean. The mattress was the best I've ever slept on in a hotel--it was so comfortable I wrote down the name of the... more
