Residence Inn Oxnard River Ridge

I was here two days as part of a long vacation. Nice large, clean room. The wifi was nonexistent for both my laptop and phone; a definite negative for me but not a major one since I was supposed to be on vacation and not working.
The walls are pretty thin; you can hear quite loudly when someone else’s shower runs. And then bed is a bit hard for my taste.
There was a dog next door that barked anytime someone walked by talking. Maybe consider making only certain buildings pet friendly?

Really nice hotel. Our room was like a mini apt with 2 beds, a loft and 2 full bathrooms. Very comfortable and clean. The breakfast spread was great, everything was fresh and delicious! Great stay!

Very cute hotel. This is not a glamorous hotel by any means but it is great for a casual group or family getaway. The penthouse suite is adorable and very comfortable. The pool area, golf course, hotel lobby and grounds were clean and well kept. My only few comments (and the reason to not give five stars) the breakfast in the morning needs improvement, I know it’s free etc. but it definitely doesn’t impress. Also, after breakfast hours there is no way to get a hot cup of coffee or food in the hotel. They do have a mini market, if you want to call it that, but it was just snacks and cold drinks. The last complaint is about the hotel guests hanging around that weekend. We had guys smoking, drinking, and talking loudly outside by there hotel «porch» when we first arrived, the next morning there were 3 teenage boys in the pool at 6am making a ton of noise, and on our last day there were these other men hanging out just staring at all the women in our group as we were all loading our cars. So minus the guest creep factor it was cool.

Very crowded place BUT I enjoyed my stay. The hotel is great and they accommodate you very well. They need to step up there breakfast but other than that very nice stay here.

We recently had an event at this location and had the chance to stay in the rooms. Daniell McClure, the Catering Sales Manager, ran everything smoothly and I would recommend her to anyone. The service was incredible, the food was delicious and the rooms were beyond expectations. This location went above and beyond for us. They allowed us to create a very special night for our family and I am very grateful for it

I had a nice stay here. It was close to the business I had to attend to. Although I don’t golf, it was a beautiful place nonetheless. The breakfast was great. I just wish there was bacon and grits too. The sofa bed needed tlc. If ever I need to hang around in Oxnard, I will surely reserve a spot at this Marriott again.

Great location on the golf course. We were a family of five with a dog and stayed in a two story penthouse. It was very roomy and were impressed with the updated furniture and cleanliness. It is a good 40 min from downtown Santa Barbara though.

This place is pretty good. I lived here for six weeks while my house was under renovation. The place is clean and well maintained. The staff is cordial and eager to serve. The hotel has pools and hot tubs throughout the complex, kind of a nice treat. If I have to live in a hotel again, I’d go here plus you get Marriott points!

Great location in Ventura River Ridge area, with easy access to most parts of the Ventura/​Oxnard area and convenient to the 101 as well as the harbor. Great front desk personnel, everyone of them. This is a pet friendly property, but be advised — they have a $ 100 non-​refundable pet cleaning deposit. There are also several maintained grassy areas around the complex to walk your four legged friend.
This extended stay hotel is well laid out over twelve acres of eight-​plex buildings, the rooms are all large and spacious with full kitchens, and either a balcony or covered patio, the penthouse suites will have two. These comfortable suites are complete with large walk-​in dressing areas and bathrooms, multiple closets, work stations, free wi-​fi, multiple chairs, seating areas with a couch, chair and ottoman, and the fore mentioned balcony or a private porch.
Our recent visit for a family gathering, with multiple bookings from across the country and everyone was able to stay within short walking distance of each other. Several family members were even within the same buildings. The property is well lit, with plenty of front of building parking.
There are several tennis courts on the property and there seemed to be either playing or taking lessons the three days we were there. Both a heated swimming pool and spa (in separate areas). The championship golf course is literally next door. This property is also home to the summer training camp for the Dallas Cowboys — their practice field is adjacent to the property and tennis courts.
Complimentary breakfast is served in the main building of the front desk every morning (7 – 10). This is a full breakfast served and one of the nicest around; eggs, potatoes, a breakfast meat, waffles, breakfast pastries and breads, several types of cereals, different fresh fruits (fruit bar) along with all kinds of morning beverage choices.
All in all a great stay, especially if you are traveling with your pet, and for the area a very fair value for the monies spent.
4 Stars.

I had a certificate for a complimentary night stay from Marriott and utilized it here. Nice becaure It’s pet friendly and brought my pug along for the stay.
The property has a conference center and my room was recently remodeled. Since changing ownership from my previous stay the exterior seemed much cleaner and maintained. The fitness center is small but a pro is the hotel is located right next to River Ridge golf course. The female staff at the lobby desk was welcoming and let me pick a welcome gift — pint of cherry Garcia ice cream. The stay includes breakfast adequate and convenient and my choices were the chicken sausage, scrambled eggs, potatoes, English muffin and yogurt.
The hotel is nearby the new Collection outdoor mall which has a variety of restaurants and retail stores. Overall, my stay was pleasant and would recommend this hotel which is more like a condo.

Unfortunately, my room (2423) wasn’t as clean as I expect from Residence Inn.
On the dining room chairs, there was some type of dried chunky smudge (mac and cheese maybe?) and dark crumbs all over the seat.
A huge black handprint was easy to distinguish on the lampshade near the window.
The sliding door to the patio head gross oily smudges all over the glass.
The attached pube under the hand railing of the bath tub sealed the deal.
I look at details. What can I say?
Had to go to Target to buy a can of Lysol and spray all the surfaces before I could relax in the room. I expected more from this hotel — disappointed.

This is an older version of the Residence Inns. The quadplex units which honestly I prefer. We sometimes travel with our dogs and being able to be outside quick and have plenty of space to walk them around is definitely a bonus. The hotel is in good shape and is well kept. The staff is great and always friendly and inviting.
I have stayed in several of the quadplexes and they have been pretty consistent. I do prefer the golf view locations as they are quieter than the road side units. The rooms are nice and clean and have plenty of space. As a Platinum member I usually get the 2 suite upgrade which makes things even nicer when the dogs are along.
The do a decent hot breakfast with eggs etc. and 4 nights a week they do some sort of snack of meal — Mon — Thur. I usually only do breakfast but have done the BBQ night — burgers and dogs which were pretty good. One thing I do like is the proximity to the Navy base which make my compute in the AM fast compared to staying at other locations and having to back road it or travel the treacherous 101 during morning or afternoon commute. That and the great staff make this my hotel of choice when in the area.

Great hotel to stay especially for family.
Room are clean, amenities are great. Superb location.

My wife and I came here last year and had a great time. That trip was hands down, 5 stars. Customer service was great, food was great and room looked out over the golf course. Beautiful!!!
We liked it so much, we decided to come back for another trip. This time we were given a room that faced Vineyard, a busy street. As we walked in the room, you could feel the rumble of the traffic in the floor of the room. I honestly believe the guy at the front desk tried to make things right by listening to our complaint and putting us on the opposite side of the hotel complex, away from the street. The only problem was he put us right next to a basketball hoop that they have in the parking lot. Parking lot? Yes, parking lot.
In other Residence Inns, they have a basketball hoop at the tennis courts. This hotel has a portable basketball hoop, that could be moved anywhere. This one is in the parking lot of the hotel. It looks like the kind you might see sitting next to a curb in a cul-​de-​sac.
So, we were tired from a long drive and wanted to get some sleep, but we couldn’t because of the sounds of basketballs bouncing below our window, as well as the yelling of kids.
First we asked a maintenance man to do something that Friday evening. We saw that he put an orange cone on it and that stopped people for a while.
The next day, Saturday, we were awakened by more people playing basketball so we called the front desk. The lady told me that the basketball hoop should be on the tennis courts. She told me that they would do something about it. That evening was quiet.
The following morning, Sunday, again we were awakened by the sounds of a basketball. We called a corporate phone number to see if they could do something. The bouncing of basketballs stopped for about 15 minutes.
During the 15 minutes of silence, I received a phone call from someone at the hotel. They said they stopped the basketballs. I tried to explain my frustration and he told me that they were trying to work with me and that they never had that complaint before. His tone of voice, in my perspective, was that I was a nuisance. He seemed annoyed that he was calling me.
I tried to say something else and he interrupted me and said it sounds like you’re still waking up so I’ll let you go. Clearly, the guy didn’t want to hear anything I had to say. He didn’t get it, I had no intention of getting up. I wanted more sleep. I was half asleep when I talked to that guy. I sure hope that wasn’t the manager that called me. After I hung up, a few minutes later, more basketballs.
Tonight, we had a separate issue. I called the front desk and asked to use the grill. He told me be there in 15 minutes to meet the hotel employee at pool 2 and someone would be there to start the grill. I called at 6:15 p.m. I was at the pool ready to go and waiting before 6:30 p.m.
While I was at the pool there were two women with two little girls. The two women were drinking beers in the pool, they had a bluetooth karaōke type speaker, I’m guessing the dimensions were about 16″ high by 12″ wide. This wasn’t some tiny Bose or Monster brand bluetooth speaker. This thing was big. They were playing music at a loud volume with a bunch of ‘F’ bombs and «b’s“and «hoes» and many other unmentionable lyrics.
Nobody showed up until 7:03 p.m. to start the grill. When I finished grilling my steaks, I walked back to my room and some one was playing basketball again.
I have had it. If the manager can’t get things under control here, Marriott should find someone who can. We have stayed at Residence Inns in La jolla, Fullerton, Denver, Ontario, and Oxnard. The customer service is always outstanding. This time, I don’t know what went wrong. Huge fail and major disappointment. Marriott, get things under control, please.

I honestly hate staying in motels, hotels, inns– because I really like the comfort of home, hate being confined to a small little space, and let’s face it hotels have that gross «used» feeling.
This Marriott Inn isn’t exactly a Hilton hotel, but it’s very large and cozy. Everything was very clean, the staff very accommodating, and the breakfast buffet has a selection.
For being located in the middle of Oxnard, the golf course gives it a nice background.
My only complaint was the thinness of the walls. Hearing all the neighbors «activities» is super annoying. Especially when you are really trying to sleep! But really, hearing voices, commotion, drawers shutting, showers running, it’s pretty bad, and that made it a little cheap.

Ok we got a studio. Nice bed. Sofa opens up to sofa bed — nice. There’s a kitchen. Nice. Free Breakfast. Nice.
BUT…Bathroom sliding door is stuck — does not close. So you pee in front of others watching you. 2 Stars.
See attached picture.

I hate giving less than five stars to a Marriott and the reasons are below. First the positive.
Near a very scenic beautiful golf course in Oxnard.
Very quiet secluded spot.
The not so positive.
Very dated amenities. TVs are from many years ago. Rooms need updating. Had to change my room due to no TV working, smelled bad and just a dirty feel to it.
No real food places that deliver. Just a pizza place.
While I like Marriott because you usually get a very high quality experience this was one time where the experience will cause me to seek a different hotel next time I am in town. Of course it will be a different Marriott, just not this one.

The hotel is actually called The Residence Inn — Marriott. But, it just so happens to be located at River Ridge, and is situated on a large golf course. The hotel itself is located near the corner of Vineyard Avenue and North Ventura Road in Oxnard, just around the corner from the area known as «Wagon Wheel».
I give this hotel 5 stars because of the amount of time that I have spent here and how much I have experienced while being here. I’ve spent more time at this particular hotel than any other hotel. In total I have spent the night here somewhere near 150 times. This is no joke. For about a period of 4 months I lived here due to my boyfriend working in the area on a contract that afforded him the luxury of staying here.
The hotel has several buildings that I refer to as octa-​plexes. They are similar to duplexes, except that they contain 8 apartments or hotel rooms. In each octa-​plex there are 4 downstairs units that are like a studio with a large kitchen fully equipped with appliances and a large king side bed, a living room area, complete with a couch with a pull out bed, and a chair, and fireplace. A dining area off the kitchen set up to do work if you need to (wifi next to table with enhanced high speed internet) and several closets (3) and a large bathroom area with a separated area for shower/​bath and toilet. The kitchen comes with a dishwasher, lots of cabinet space, a large refrigerator, and plates, cups, forks, spoons, coffee maker, toaster, pots, pans, cutting boards, knives, etc. The fireplace burns a special wood log that you can purchase from the small convenience store in the main part of the office where you check in. They also sell other food items there that I refer to as snacks, and drinks.
Above the studio apartments are 4 townhomes. These townhomes have 2 stories to them. In other words, each building is 3 stories high, the bottom floor are the studios, and the top two floors are townhouse style apartments. They have everything the studios have plus a loft bedroom, and an extra bathroom. They tend to be a lot roomier, with vaulted ceilings and completely seperate bedrooms. In other words the bed is not inside the same space as the living room and kitchen. In the lower part of the townhome is a living room, dining room, kitchen, large and roomy, fireplace, vaulted ceilings, a master bedroom with a balcony, a hall with two closets between the master bedroom and the large master bathroom. In the living area there is a staircase that goes up to the top floor, that contains a bedroom /​loft and it’s own bathroom.
This is a very beautiful hotel. Definitely worth the money, and a great place to stay long term, should you need to. Each apartment style hotel room makes you feel completely at home, and several of the hotel tenants are here on long-​term jobs and need a place like this to feel comfortable. This completely beats the pants off of most other hotels that I have stayed at.
To top it off they have several large recreational areas. Besides the golf course they have a gym, several tennis courts, several pool areas with Jacuzzi’s and BBQ’s. They have a lovely seating area outdoors near the main office and close to the golf course where people can gather together and enjoy watching others play golf or just relax. Every morning they serve an amazing breakfast from 6am until I believe 9 or 10 am. And, a couple of nights a week they do a social, around 6pm, and they serve dinner and drinks (Free wine and beer), the dinners are usually things like pasta, with sauce, and garlic bread and salad and you can have red wine, chardonnay, beer, etc. All complimentary.
The service here is great. There is free wifi and also the option for enhanced high speed internet which is free to gold members and above (my boyfriend happens to be a gold member) and if you want access to it, and you are not a gold or higher member you can pay the $ 6.95 or whatever it is extra per day to use it but it’s not necessary, since they do have free wifi all over the grounds… and that works fine.
Maintenance is always being done here, it’s very clean. Maids come and clean everything, even wash your dishes. Anything you want here you can get… all you have to do is call and ask. Pizza delivery to this hotel is common too… I’ve actually ordered Pizza from the best pizza place around here and they knew right where this hotel was.
Rooms here can get pricey, but you get what you pay for. If paying over $ 125 a night is too much for you, you might want to go elsewhere, but I guarantee that if you are going to be stuck in a hotel for any length of time you might want to pay that extra bit of money if you can afford to do so, since this establishment is very professional and very courteous.
My boyfriend is here on an assignment for a month, and I am thrilled to be able to hang out with him here and enjoy the area. Oxnard is a beautiful place to visit and the weather here is #1!

We sold our home in Pasadena and we are purchasing a home here in Oxnard and waiting for escrow to close so we have been here so far 8 days and will be here at least another 8. Our time here has been wonderful! We are able to house our two dogs with us (we have no kids) and we are all cozy. The thing of course that I love besides the Great free breakfast and nice dinner offerings Monday — Thursday (Thursday is just cut up veggies and chips) is the complimentary beer and wine you get with it, the friendly staff and the very lovely grounds!
I need to walk the dogs numerous times per day and I just sigh with contentment looking at the lovely grounds or walking on the walking cement area by the golf course.
We are also right by the pool which could have been a problem but hasn’t been. Yes, some kids have been swimming almost daily but it is nice to hear some delighted squeals now and then. I also have been swimming and lounging at the pool and it is not a huge pool, but was sufficient for me to swim back and forth for some exercise and it is very nicely maintained. I also enjoyed the Jacuzzi.
We would definitely come back here or recommend this place to friends.
The Wi Fi appeared to work fine for us… although I had to connect to it several times per day if I stepped away from the computer for very long.

I love when we come to this place for the weekend.
I haven’t had the chance to get a room on the bottom floors, but the upstairs rooms are two stories! The bedding is so comfortable, the pillows suck you into sleep, and I don’t like to use pillows. The kitchen is fully stocked and whatever you need to cook and eat except the food itself. What’s kind of weird is that the kitchen table used to have 4 chairs, now it only has 2. So we had to pull the office chair and the grandma chair to the table so we can eat. The coffee in the room sucks, but they do provide coffee throughout the day near the reception area, which is pretty potent. Breakfast is complimentary and it’s pretty legit with them eggs, sausage and potatoes, on point! Their oatmeal was delicious too… Simple and basic substances to satisfy your morning hungers.
This place is really inviting and comfortable.
