Moorpark Hotel, a Joie de Vivre Boutique Hotel

It was just "OK"

Overall the hotel was much nicer inside than it appreared from the outside. My reason for not recommending this hotel was that there was a strong smell of sewer gas the three days I was there. It was great weather, so I was able to open the window, but sometimes even that did not help. The bar and grill was OK for breakfeast, but when I tried to get a drink during happy hour the bar was open but there was not bartender. I waited a few minutes for someone to show up, but no luck. The room was a nice size and the internet was free. The room looked good and I would have liked it except for the smell.

Looks better in photos

I feel that this Hotel appears to be over rated. The rooms much smaller than I expected. The bathroom did not have enough towels for four people. Only two large towels. The rate was higher so I expected a very nice Hotel. I would have like to have seen a continental breakfast. I would not stay again. The Cabana looked very appealing in the photos, but it wasw just not what I expected for the rate. There was a very stinky order when we entered the room.

Needs improvement

The tub drain was clog. Tried everything but water won't go down. Hotel needs to check their draining system.

comfortable

the hotel is a comfortable place, and the staff are very friendly. but the location is not the best and from the outside it looks, well not so great.

Just okay

While this hotel has good weekend rates, it doesn't quite manage to escape the feeling of being a renovated lower-end hotel. Rooms are very spacious, but the windows fail to keep out street noise. The heavy polyester duvet cover was also not very comfortable. We did not stay for breakfast but the $9.95 buffet seemed like a good value.

Would not give us the room we reserved

When we got to the hotel at 6:00 the desk clerk told us that our room was given to someone else and that we would have to take a room with two smaller beds instead of the kingsized bed we reserved.

Bad Location

The hotel is right next to and accross from gas stations with strong stret light that are left on all night. Unfortunately, the blinds do a very poor joog of blocking the light out and if your room is facing the street, forget about getting much sleep.
