spagirl Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 I am looking for a nice hotel (4* if available) in Ventura, CA for a 1-night stay in late June. Any information on hotels available through Priceline would be most appreciated. Also, any advice on bids would be great. Thanks. Link to comment
thereuare Posted March 18, 2003 Report Share Posted March 18, 2003 3* is the highest offering in Ventura, CA.If you'll be trying for 3* property, could you list your exact date? I've taken a quick look at Expedia to see what hotels are in the area (and how much), and i see that a few properties are sold out for the random date in June that i selected.I'll update later tonite after you mention the date you need (if your plans are firm at this point). Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases Link to comment
liveforbargains Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 I visit Ventura alot and I don't recall there being any 4* hotels. I made a bid for my friend there and I believe it was a 2* she got. The hotel was called the Ventura Beach Hotel. She thought it was pretty bad and this is a person who doesn't mind staying at a Motel 6. I had stayed at the hotel a while ago when it was a Doubletree and it was fine. I was recently in Ventura and saw the hotel is now a Marriott so I'm sure they will bring it up to par. Another hotel I have seen people get in Ventura is the Sheraton. I haven't stayed there but it looks nice. Link to comment
ufauxreal Posted March 21, 2003 Report Share Posted March 21, 2003 I spent a week at the Sheraton Four Points Hotel in Ventura in January. Two of those nights were through Priceline @ $52/night... the others were to attend a seminar and were pre-paid.I was very impressed with the hotel. My room was spacious, with 2 beds, a sitting area, and a balcony with a view of the harbor. The hotel staff was always pleasant, friendly and helpful. The first day I couldn't get my TV to work properly.... I called the front desk and within 15 mins. an 'engineer' appeared... turned out to be a bad remote, and he replaced it on the spot.JBEdited because I forgot to add that this was considered a 3* hotel.

spagirl Posted March 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 I appreciate all of the info and advice in all the replies. I do not have a firm date yet in June, but I am now looking toward trying a bid for a 3* and hope to get the Sheraton. I also now know to steer clear of the Marriott, which is actually the hotel my travel agent was planning to reserve for me. Thanks again. :) Link to comment
