• The reception they had in the evening was nice.

• Hpy hour.
• Lack of stairways.

“Good hotel for travelers, close to the freeway. Too close to the freeway for others. Outside of the lobby it was sort of dingy. Pool was open until 10:00 pm, however the door going back in the hotel was closed at 7:00 pm, and even the hotel key would not open the door. This meant walking around to the front of the hotel to get in. Good hotel for one or two nights.

• Morning breakfasts and hot tub were very good. Appreciated having two computers in lobby area.

“The atmosphere was very welcoming, like your favorite aunt's house. Breakfasts had fresh fruits as well as eggs, waffles, etc; very good. The housekeeping staff smiled and was friendly and helpful. Two computers in the lobby made getting access very convenient. Rooms had microwave and fridge and comfortable queen beds. The out side hot tub was very nice. Parking was convenient.

• Breakfast was ok.
• The room was dirty with mold in the bathroom.

“The room was dirty with mold in the shower and around the sink also the wall paper was peeling off in some places, when we complained nothing was done or offered, they only said we are remodeling but I saw no sign of work. Also no work out room on premises.”

• The front desk staff was not friendly whatsoever.

“Overall, a good experience. Easy access to freeway, comfortable room, room smelled and appeared fairly clean. The front desk staff was borderline rude and when I asked for a restaurant recommendation nearby, they were clueless! Nice clean pool and spa outside.”

“The Country Inn and Suites in Camarillo is located right off of highway 101 in Camarillo. Close to shops and restaurants. Nearby the outlet malls as well as the tourist areas of Ventura and the Channel Islands Harbor complex.”

• Had to pay $15.00 for roll away, and take it up by self serve.

“Great hotel for the money. The happy hour provides 2 drinks and snacks, the breakfast buffet provided the necessary food for the day. Kept it simple and easy.”

• Convenient and quiet location. Hot breakfast and cocktail reception.
• Room carpet was dirty; white socks turned black. Bubble gum on bed spread.

“This particular Country Inn and Suite is showing its age requiring refurbishment. It isn't up to the standard of other Country Inns that we have stayed in. The rooms are a generous size with a dressing area with vanity separate from the bathroom. Rooms are equipped with a microwave and small refrigerator. Internet access was very good and swift. We would stay here again.”

• It was quiet.
• The night desk clerk was giving free bottled water. The day desk clerk was rude when asked about water.

“It was okay. I was there because my daughter was ill from chemo therapy and needed to be someplace with Air Conditioning. I was told the rooms had this but our room only had a fan in the unit that worked. It was after 8 pm when we arrived and it was too late to get it fixed. Overall, it was one step above Motel 6.”

“This hotel is tired. It was clean but is need of renovation. The full breakfast was limited. But the staff was very helpful and friendly. Not a high star rating but yet was a somewhat full service hotel. Not what I remembered from staying at Country Inns in the past.”

• The staff was friendly.
• Not enough non-smoking rooms. Small un-firm beds.

“Negatives: This hotel needs a face-lift. The hallway carpets are old and worn. Many hallways reek of smoke. The elevator near our room didn't work. The beds are small and squishy. Our bathroom smelled like fresh paint, but it didn't look like a new bathroom. The television screen was green. Positives: The entrance was not bad, the hotel clerks were nice and our kids had fun at the pool.”

• Location.
• We were given a smoking room & after much objection, hotel reluctantly gave us another room then they charged for the room erroneously.

“Staff was non responsive to guest needs. kitchen food area was dirty. Staff served burnt popcorn and when I asked if they realized it was burnt, she shrugged her shoulders. We were first given a smoking room and hotel staff at first refused to give us a different room. Hotel had no customer comment or feedback process. Staff was generally non responsive to guest needs.”

• The staff was lovely, everyone one of them!
• The front doors weren't locked at night, anyone could step in who wasn't a guest. I was concerned for the young women working front desk. Mentioned.

“Staff were all hard working and very helpful. The carpets in hallway very dated and worn. Some of the towels very worn out. The maid was lovely in giving me nicer towels, as I declined room service for privacy and just tipped for extra towels for my stay. The people in breakfast area were just wonderful.”

• Internet speed was good.
• Carpet in room was stained with grease in numerous places.

“This is at present primarily a hotel for trade workers on construction projects at the nearby military base. With this clientele typically comes grease stained carpeting, borish behavior, work trucks in the parking area, etc. The non-contractor clientele are usually placed on the third (top) floor but even the carpets in these rooms have grease stains. The hotel is located on the frontage road of an eight lane highway with the attendant noise. Room size and counter space in bathroom is excellent.”

• Front desk clerk was very nice at check-in.
• Someone's old sock in my room. Very uncomfortable chairs.

“Very poor 3 star property. Surprised it was actually a Country Inn and Suites brand. Property seemed old and needs remodeling to be a 3 star hotel. Not one aspect was a 3 star. There was even someone's old dirty sock in my room. Not sure how the maid missed that one. They had a free "happy hour" that was worthy of a 1 star or 2 star rating at best. Plastic solo cups for the drinks, a couple baskets of pretzels and a veggie tray. If the property was rated a 2 star I would rate it as an average to low 2-star hotel.”
