Bottom Line

Built in 2010, the mid-range Homewood Suites by Hilton Oxnard/Camarillo is a family-friendly chain hotel just off Highway 101, between Oxnard and Camarillo and just over an hour’s drive north of Los Angeles. The 129 rooms are spacious and have solid amenities for long-term guests, including living rooms and kitchenettes; some units have whirlpools or fireplaces. The outdoor pool, hot tub, and basketball court are popular with families, while business travelers can make use of a 24-hour business center and two meeting rooms. A free breakfast and afternoon mixer are nice added perks. For a hotel with an on-site restaurant and room service, travelers may prefer the Hilton Garden Inn Oxnard/Camarillo next door.

Homewood Suites by Hilton Oxnard/Camarillo

Scene

Mid-range chain hotel with trendy decor and the air of an apartment complex

The Homewood Suites by Hilton Oxnard/Camarillo was built in 2010 and has the air of a trendy apartment complex rather than a hotel. The cream building is accented by flowers, green grass, and palm trees in the outdoor courtyard and pool area, and it has a slight Spanish mission style with red-brick tiled roofs. In contrast, the interior has a chic gold-and-maroon color scheme. In the lobby, there’s a maroon-and-gold floral carpet and maroon loveseats set in front of a fireplace that partitions the lobby from the breakfast room. The breakfast room has dark wooden tables and chairs with cream-colored cushions, a few lime green velour armchairs, and lovely canvases of beach scenes on the walls -- certainly more fashionable decor than one would expect from the chain. This property attracts families and business travelers alike, particularly long-term guests.

Location

Situated right off Highway 101, within driving distance of most attractions

The hotel is located just off the 101 freeway between Oxnard and Camarillo, making it convenient for guests with cars. It’s an 18-minute drive to the Channel Islands Harbor and a 14-minute drive to McGrath State Beach. Camarillo Premium Outlets -- a 10-minute drive -- offers a variety of stores for shopping. Golf enthusiasts may want to check out the Spanish Hill Country Club, an eight-minute drive away. There are a few restaurants within walking distance, though most of the surrounding streets are peppered with medical centers, such as St. John’s Regional Medical Center. Traffic permitting, it's an hour and 20-minute drive to Los Angeles International Airport or an hour’s drive to Burbank Bob Hope Airport.

Rooms

Sophisticated rooms with living rooms and kitchenettes; some with balconies or jetted tubs

The trendy elegance of the common spaces at the Homewood continues into the rooms, which are full of bold colors such as lime-green walls; dark, sophisticated patterned carpet; and sleek wooden furniture. Studio, One-, and Two-Bedroom Suites are available and come with free microwave popcorn packets and quality Neutrogena toiletries. Some even have balconies with chairs and tables or fireplaces to cozy around. All rooms have flat-screen TVs, living room areas, and kitchenettes with full-size refrigerators, microwaves, coffeemakers, dishwashers, and two-burner stoves. Dishes and cookware are provided. The sleek but simple bathrooms have shower/tub combos or walk-in showers; some suites have whirlpools or jetted tubs. Rooms are quiet, particularly given their location right off the highway. But issues have been raised by past guests concerning housekeeping.
