Decided to stay overnight in Thousand Oaks after seeing a show. Found this place on Priceline and it was a really nice choice. It looks like a lot like a standard motel, but there are upgrades throughout, particularly on the grounds, which are beautifully decorated and includes many pieces of art scattered around. Take a moment to walk around and enjoy the gorgeous water features and other surprising little touches. There are also lots of lovely little sitting areas around the pool and elsewhere. The rooms are fine. You get a fridge, a microwave and a coffee maker. I thought the bed was a little hard but that's just me - mattress preference is so personal. You get a voucher for breakfast at a nearby cafe. I was a bit pressed for time so I didn't want to bother with that. It's really nice that they do offer that, but I prefer the quick breakfast in the lobby option. I wouldn't hesitate to book this property again. And I would make certain to walk around and maybe have my morning coffee outside by one of the cool fountains. read more

Very nice hotel. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the room was clean and spacious. The shower had excellent water pressure, was roomy and the included shampoo, conditioner, and soap were very nice (not cheap and icky for longer hair like mine.) The heated pool and jacuzzi were fantastic with great hours, open from 7am-10pm. Free breakfast next door at Mikey's restaurant was included. Parking was 10$. Friendly staff. Check in was 3pm and checkout 12 noon. We were very happy with our entire stay and will be coming back next time we are in the area. read more

For the price, this hotel was more than decent. I came here with a group for a wedding and it met my expectations. This gives motel vibes, but a better one. They've got a pool, free breakfast, a nice lobby, a delicious restaurant next door, free parking and a small gym. They even have a banquet here for parties. Overall a decent place to stay on this side of town! read more

Very nice hotel. The front desk people were very helpful and kind. Took us in on short notice due to the fire evacuations.

Centrally located for tourists. Friendly staff. Rooms cute and bathroom had enough room for 2, with plenty of counter space.

Charming Old Hollywood Vibes with Modern Hospitality In late February, about 75 of us stayed at the Palm Garden Hotel for a Scandinavian cultural convention--and we couldn't have felt more welcome. From start to finish, the hotel staff went above and beyond. One highlight: during a luncheon, servers surprised us with baskets of fresh-baked, giant cookies. A sweet touch, literally! The Palm Garden has genuine midcentury charm and a dash of Old Hollywood flair. It reminded us of the kinds of hideaway hotels Southern California used to be known for--but that are now all too rare. The property has clearly been thoughtfully refurbished, maintaining its personality while offering modern comfort. A lot of bang for the buck. Our room was quiet and comfy, with a very cozy bed. Selvin's Restaurant & Lounge is on-site and feels like a destination in its own right. Fantastic wine list, brick-oven pizzas, and packed with a mix of locals and guests on Friday and Saturday nights. Amenities we loved: Ample free parking Better-than-average complimentary breakfast Heated outdoor pool & hot tub Cabanas and lounge patio Gym Fun Hollywood-themed suite featuring George Burns' former pool table Small Cons: Water pressure was underwhelming Sink fixtures were dated Minor wear-and-tear like a gouge on the closet door. All-in-all, whether you're planning a wedding, a weekend getaway, or a budget conscious cozy group event, the Palm Garden is a unique and welcoming gem that delivers value and memorable character. We'll definitely be back! read more

I can't say enough good things about the Palm Garden Hotel. I've stayed here at least four times now, and each visit has been a wonderful experience. The manager Daniel's hospitality, warmth, and professionalism truly set the tone--each visit he has made us feel welcomed and cared for! We also chose Palm Garden for our wedding block, and all of our guests were very happy with their stay. The remodeled property is serene and beautifully maintained, creating such a peaceful atmosphere. With the addition of the new upscale restaurant, Selvin's, the hotel has become an even more special place to stay!! From the inviting rooms to the excellent service, Palm Garden Hotel delivers comfort, quality, and a genuine sense of care. Highly recommend for both special occasions and getaways. read more

We stayed one night (03/09/2025) with our Dachshund. Clean room (135), comfortable bed, professional staff. We had an issue with the toilet at 8:00 PM, called the front desk and a maintenance staff member was there in 10 minutes, and gone in 15 minutes - problem solved. There was real grass just outside our first floor room for our dog's "use." We had dinner and the complimentary (very nice) hot breakfast at Selvin's (the restaurant attached to the hotel). We will stay here next time we are in the area. read more

Barely four stars. This is generally a nice facility, with clean comfortable rooms and good helpful staff. The decor is modern, bed comfortable, heating and ventilation fairly quiet. Breakfast in the morning was ok, scrambled eggs, yogurt, cereal and toast. Coffee was drinkable, not great. There seem to be nice conference facilities for modest-sized groups. However there were two issues that made it less than comfortable. The water pressure is awful, so showering is a real chore. And the front door does not seal well, so I could hear everything outside -- conversations 25 feet away, etc. The on-site restaurant, Selvin's, is excellent, by the way. read more

Really 3.75.... But rounded it up. Looking for a place where I could get my dog away from Los Angeles where I live where the July 4 explosions go on all night long and terrify my dog. Friend who lives in Thousand Oaks said it's relatively quiet so I took a room here. The photos and reviews were okay, said there were just major renovations. and I wanted a pool. It's right off the freeway and in a really odd place next to a Ralph's supermarket and mini mall. But you walk in and the lobby is nice, and looks legit. Our room was small, but very clean and looked on the newer side. Facing a very nice courtyard with well manicured grounds and flowers and even a bunny that kept hopping around lol. Little fridge and microwave and coffee maker. The pool was very nice and clean, and lots of comfortable seating; chaise lounge and big fluffy chairs and couches. First night very quiet, yay. There are great hiking trails in the area so we took advantage of that. The breakfast was pretty bad. Chafing dish of squares of what looked like spinach mushroom quiche but was inedible. Powdered eggs? Soggy potatoes. Some weird slimy banana dish that looked like a 5 year old made covered with some sugary syrup. Orange tang like juice. Some not ripe bananas, yogurt cups, cinnamon buns that were hard as rocks and stale bagels. We didn't go back the next morning lol. The restaurant attached to the hotel was really good, selvin's....went for dinner. Was closed the 4th. Now for the reason I came; to get away from loud fireworks. Too bad, someone on the property or right in the parking lot next to our room was setting off loud explosions really scary for a couple hours. My dog was shaking like a leaf and ran under the bed. Called the front desk. They said it was "the neighbors". Um, no neighbors except a closed mall. They didn't do anything about these illegal dangerous explosions. I tried calling sheriff to Report but no one around. They charge for parking now, BTW. Nice little hotel, but won't be back for July 4. read more

Nice room except for the shower, which was pathetic. No pressure at all. It rained harder outside than the shower inside. Infuriating for what they charge per night. Leaky front atrium when it's raining. Breakfast was infuriating. No meat. No bacon. No sausages. Two days in a row. They didn't run out. They just didn't bother to serve it. Scrambled eggs and sadness. Potatoes and oatmeal. No milk for the cereal. Stale breads. I confiscated a coffee mug to put my rage in. Next time in Thousand Oaks I'm just going to the Hampton or La Quinta. read more

We needed a place to stay for marathon weekend and found the Palm Garden Hotel through Bookings.com. It was conveniently located near the freeway and shopping centers, and the price seemed reasonable at the time. The hotel has a motel-like feel and offers free breakfast, which we enjoyed on our first day. The spread included the usual options: scrambled eggs, toast, sausage, bagels, oatmeal, etc. While we didn't take advantage of the amenities, we did notice families enjoying the pool during the day. The exterior, pool, and garden were well-maintained, but the interior of our room felt a bit outdated. We stayed for three nights, and the room always felt a bit musty and humid, even with the AC running. There were some stains on the carpet, but the bathrooms were clean. If you're a light sleeper, be aware that the rooms aren't soundproof; we could hear footsteps, cars, and conversations in the evening. For $550 over three nights, it didn't quite feel as affordable as we had hoped. read more

We had booked a room across the 101 at Motel 6 for an event in Thousand Oaks. We needed an early check-in. Motel 6 was charging $90 for the room on a Sunday afternoon and wanted an extra $20 for that. We immediately canceled our reservation there and drove to the Palm Garden Hotel. After checking online we saw that the Palm Garden was only $25 more than what Motel 6 was charging. What a huge improvement this hotel was over that place! Excellent service, FREE early check-in, breakfast included, beautiful pool and grounds. We didn't get a chance to visit the restaurant but the front desk even gave us free drink tickets. Overall a lovely newly renovated and very clean hotel. You can tell that they care about the place and their customers. read more

I recently had my daughter's Quinceanera at the Palm Gardens hotel. After researching and visiting about 5 different places we decided to have it at The Palm Gardens hotel. My family from the East Coast came and stayed at this hotel. The service was amazing! Breakfast was included and all! The hall we rented was super clean, they provided the foods, which was delicious, the waiters and waitress where amazing! Top of the line service at an affordable price! read more

My boyfriend and I were looking for a dog friendly spot to stay in the middle of L.A. and Solvang for our home base for the weekend trip and this spot worked great. The only issue we had was that our TV couldn't find any channels all weekend but I actually didn't mind because it was easier to get my boyfriend to leave the room for our sightseeing than when he gets sucked into an HGTV show. We asked the front desk to send maintenance in at one point but they couldn't figure out what the problem was either. They ended up taking a bit off our stay for the inconvenience when I mentioned it at check out though. At the time we stayed (February 2022), they were offering breakfast for pick up and it was just mediocre with eggs, potatoes, sausage and toast and all of it in need of seasoning. The room itself though was nice and clean with a king bed and a small sofa. read more

Loved this hotel! Came here for our son's baseball tournament and we stayed here on a Saturday night. This place makes you feel that you're in paradise with their tropical landscape. The beds were not the most comfortable but when you're tired anything works. Their complementary breakfast got them extra brownie points with the family. If we are back in Thousand Oaks we'll make sure to stay here again read more

Found this cool hotel while in the area, was looking for a decent nights stay after a long week on the road and this was it. A very good place to stay for a night or longer. Even with the current renovation project going on. Great front desk staff literally went out of their way to make me and my business partner feel welcome, and that our business was appreciated. We were offered a cold libation upon arrival and check in was a breeze. Very comfortable outside areas to sit and enjoy the interior private grounds, that are surprizely very spread out there are interior gathering areas for small and large groups, a covered gazebo, along with cabanas around the pool and spa area. My room was comfortable, quiet, very clean and a nice break from my week on the road. The king bed was comfortable, the shower had nice pressure and plenty of hot water. Along with the standard amenities of a mini fridge, microwave and coffee station, there was a desk and chair and a seating area. Breakfast is included as well, the kitchen has a daily menu that you receive at check in for the next morning, call in your order and its ready for your pick up. The scrambled eggs, sausage and potatoes was good, with coffee and juice and served its purpose for getting on the road the next day. Made to feel welcome by all staff encountered, from the kitchen, lounge and from desk. Great interior private courtyard area and comfortable sleeping accommodations. There are also several good reataurants within walking distance. 4 Stars - A Solid hotel and I would stay again if in the area. 00775 read more

Absolutely amazing hotel and service! We had our son's 3rd birthday party here and all I can say was that it was PERFECT. We had the pleasure of working with Daniel and he is hands down the most amazing manager. He was so helpful and sweet and made everything a breeze. We really can't thank him enough for everything he did to make this day special. We also had the pleasure of working with Nicole and she made booking the food so easy and she was so responsive. The food was the highlight it was absolutely delicious! Onto the rooms holy moly the garden suite and the Hollywood suite are INCREDIBLE. I highly recommend these rooms to anyone looking to have a fun place to hang out and sleep. They are designed so perfectly and were just perfect. The pool cabanas and the pool 10/10. It has the perfect lay out for kids with a Baja shelf for the littles to enjoy the pool. My kids spent hours swimming and the smiles were endless. I love that there is a restaurant connected to the hotel called Selvins. My friends and I walked over and enjoyed the most delicious dinner and drinks we've ever had. The ambiance was breath taking and the service was superb. It was so nice to walk to our hotel room after indulging in one of the best nights we had in a while. This place is such a hidden gem that everyone needs to experience. 10000/10000 recommend! read more

Raised rates, charge for parking, not worth it anymore. Noisy, the breakfast offered has even gone downhill.

We stayed here 2 years ago for one night we really liked the place it' felt like we were at home but away from home. We liked the place so much, we came back again on January 4, 2025 for 1 night we decided to stay for another night. read more

Definitely a must stay ! You won't be disappointed. read more

I had to choose this hotel remotely without looking at it in person first, because I was out of town. It's not as fancy as advertised. It's like a regular hotel/motel. I chose it because of the pictures it looked really nice online and it looked really fancy and accommodating. This was a hotel stay for my wedding. My wedding venue was somewhere else. This hotel was definitely not accommodating they didn't even have hot tea for me to have in my room. Even when I went to the front desk to try to get a cup of hot tea, they didn't have any. It was a really basic hotel with a really fancy looking front desk. The rooms were pretty basic. They were clean, but they were pretty small. The hotel rooms are very far away from the front desk. You have to walk a far distance to get to the front desk, depending on where your room is because the hotel is very spread out. Also no elevators to bring your luggage up on the higher floors. The breakfast in the morning was pretty good. It was fresh and they had good options. This wasn't the vibe I was looking for on my wedding nights. Plus, it was very expensive at the time of booking. It was definitely not worth the price. Additionally, my friend tried to send me a bottle of champagne to my room for when I got back from the wedding, and they never sent it. I actually had to call and ask where her gift was for me, and then they finally brought it. The hotel advertises, a hair salon, and a spa. However, it's very difficult to even get an appointment in either of them because I have tried. They don't have enough staff to accommodate if you happen to want to get a massage or a facial or your hair done. Overall, the hotel is something I would have booked on a more casual night and I'm not happy with the fact that they advertise it as a very fancy hotel but it's really not that fancy. It's not what it looks like. I recall in person being surprised it was nothing like the photos and the accommodations they advertise were lacking 100000%. read more

Despite being under construction this place was nice. They have a cool gazebo and pool area. You can preorder your breakfast. But the staff is what made it. Everyone was super nice and accommodating. Thousand Oaks is also a cool city and there was some convenient shopping close. read more

Had a nice stay at this hotel, located just off the 101 in Thousand Oaks. 4 stars based on value paid for room and complimentary items (daily - breakfasts, 2 drinks, parking). Rooms appear to have been renovated recently and are really nice looking. Stayed in room with 2 queen sized beds. Refrigerator is good sized with separate freezer for a hotel. Only down side, but not big deal, was loud air conditioner (ear plugs worked) and sink that could use a towel rack (draped over mirror arm). Hotel lobby and restaurant were under construction. Lobby reopened at the end of our stay (see pics). Complimentary breakfast and 2 drinks (at front desk) are provided daily. Since restaurant was closed, breakfast was prepackaged and picked up at their make shift kitchen. Nothing fancy, but much appreciated. On our last day (after main entrance reopened), the breakfast was buffet style and opened to all on the patio. Not certain, but breakfasts may now be changed since lobby area has reopened. Restaurant and bar are still under construction. Looks like it'll be really nice once completed. Will return again! read more

The patio and pool are really nice. But the hotel itself looks like a cheap upgraded motel. You cannot open the windows to refresh the room, there is no soundproofing so if people have a party on the patio under your room until late at night, you don't sleep. Breakfast is very simple and not appealing at all, no waffle! It is definitely not worth the price! read more

Everything from checking in to eating a great meal at Selvins to Continental breakfast..

We loved this hotel and the amenities! The hot breakfast was good, the staff was friendly, the grounds were perfect, and the bed was very comfy. Nicely refurbished older property that has personality! Free parking and a great location - good Indian food and a Ralph's grocery store right across the parking lot. Everything was extremely clean! We'd definitely stay here again. read more

I've stayed at the Palm Garden Hotel several times, and it never disappoints. The location is fantastic, offering easy access to nightlife, hiking, biking, and golfing in the beautiful Conejo Valley. Under new management, the hotel has a very noticeable fresh and modern look that far exceeds its price point. The attached bar/nightclub isn't quite open yet, but definitely shows great promise. I'm no polished critic within the hospitality industry, but the general manager of this property has obviously ensured the property is appealing, staff is highly trained, and most definitely understands attention to the smallest of details that provide a memorable experience for guests. What truly stands out is the exceptional service, from the friendly registration staff to housekeeping. For the several times I've stayed there, the registration staff has made me feel like a VIP. Housekeeping staff go out of their way to ensure that needs are met. The rooms are immaculate, and the attention to detail is evident. I've never seen a single water spot on the large sliding glass shower doors or the bathroom mirror. Plantation style shutters on the windows are a nice modern touch. Art decor and the manner housekeeping staff creatively fold and place towels is impressive The recently renovated heated pool area and spacious patio seating with gas fire pits add to the charm. The one king or two queen-bed rooms are consistently comfortable and well-maintained. The hotel provides 24/7 coffee from a top California roasting company, A Special Blend from Santa Barbara, California. The daily buffet-style breakfast offers a variety of options. The inclusion of Keurig-style coffee makers and room fridges is a nice touch. Ample parking is available, and during my stays, I never experienced any construction noise. If I had to mention any MINOR drawbacks, it's that the on-screen TV guide may not always provide channel information, but this is a small issue considering the overall quality of this property. Also, although the plantation shutters are a very nice decorative touch, they do tend to lend more morning light into the room. For those who prefer "black-out" curtains to sleep in, this may be an issue. Kudos to the dedicated staff and management for making Palm Garden Hotel my first and likely anyones best choice in Ventura County. read more

Check in and check out process was good. I had a 2nd floor room facing towards the parking area. The rooms were updated and better than expected. The breakfast was your typical free breakfast of eggs, breads, cereals, sausages, etc. It's actually in a great location when you really think about it. It's in the same plaza as a Ralph's so whenever you need anything it's just a minute walk to there, there are a couple of fast food places in that same plaza and right across the street is a Starbucks, a boba shop, and a really good Chinese restaurant. The property itself was pretty quiet. No noise issues for me, I stayed over thanksgiving and never heard any partying or any of the other typical noises you expect to hear during holidays. The downside was they were still doing construction to the property so the onsite restaurant wasn't open. But overall I liked the staff and with everything so close by it was extremely convenient for me. I would definitely recommend. read more

We loved our stay at the Palm Garden Hotel! The hot tub and the pool were absolutely lovely. The pool was heated and so clean and relaxing. There were also fire tables and comfy outdoor seating which were a perfect way to end the night. The free breakfast was really good: freshly made breakfast burritos or plates along with coffee and juice. Charles was so accommodating and kind! Loved the customer service. And finally, the room! It was beautifully remodeled and clean. The beds are very comfortable (great pillows) and the bathroom is a good size with good water pressure. Our ONLY complaint is that the sliding door to the bathroom doesn't provide much privacy. And since there were three of us that was a bit awkward. But otherwise, we loved it and we will absolutely be back! read more

The hotel and grounds were absolutely beautiful and well kept. The staff at every level were friendly, courteous and helpful. The complimentary breakfast was excellent, and featured hot and cold dishes, fruits, toast, bagels, teas and coffee. I took 1 star off only because the sink in our room had terrible water flow. I could have gotten it fixed, but did not want workers in our room while we weren't their. (room 211). But overall, I'd stay there again no problem. Prices were average. read more

I arrived on the 18th of November and upon my arrival I was checked in by an associate named Michael. He was not the friendliest but not very welcoming either. Once I checked in I went to my room and checked it out once I walked into the bathroom I noticed there was a big red stain inside the shower along with hair and residue. I immediately called the front desk an associate by the name of Mark answered when I explained to him what the issues were he said he'd have someone right away to clean it and if I would like a glass of wine for my inconvenience (to which I said no) he also said I was not able to stay whole they are cleaning due to covid so I told them I would go to the store while they cleaned. Once I came back to the hotel from the store I went straight to the room to check out the bathroom and it was still not clean. The stain was still in the shower. I also noticed later that night that their was a once inch gap all around the door and two peep holes. The gap wwas so big I was able to insert an entire bath towel all around the door. I ended up falling asleep that night because I had driven so far from northern California and I forgot to call the front office again. In the morning I decided to stop at the front desk to give them an update on my room and also talk to them about the door issue however, upon encountering an associate by the name of Ana she did not care and just kept saying ok when I was bringing up all the issues, again. I finally told her I wanted to check out early (I was supposed to be there two nights) and all she said was ok. I left that hell hole and will never return nor will I recommend it to anyone of my family members or friends. read more

My wife and I were traveling for business and needed a pet-friendly hotel. We stayed at the Palm Garden Hotel, and I am happy to say the hotel exceeded our expectations. Rooms look just remodeled, and the courtyard gives a great feeling of peace. Free Wi-Fi, Free Parking, and Free Breakfast are what all hotels should be about. So why four stars?? My room was in the Courtyard, and it was great, but many of the rooms are looking outside to the parking lot. I imagine if I were in one of those rooms, my experience would have been different. Also inside the hotel, it is beautiful but the surrounding area not so much. In summary, great bang for your buck! I would come back. read more
