Hotel Hampton Inn & Suites Thousand Oaks (Thousand Oaks, USA)

As soon as you arrive staff working on the front desk create a fantastic first impression and a warm welcome with their friendliness and the complimentary cookies that are available here are a nice little touch.

The Oaks is a large shopping mall only a few minutes' drive away from the hotel where you will find numerous different shops allowing you to spend your time shopping and then grabbing a bite to eat and a drink or even a trip to the multi-screen cinema. The hotel is located just off the Ventura Freeway meaning that there is easy access to surrounding towns and cities including Los Angeles.

After feasting on the complimentary breakfast you will be well fuelled for your day ahead with a wide variety of food available featuring a continental offering consisting of pastries, cereals and fresh fruit amongst other things or you could go for the more traditional cooked option with a choice of sausage, eggs and all the usual fare.

Although the location next to the highway is convenient for accessibility to the surrounding area some guests found it to be too noisy, especially at night, and have advised that you could ask for a room on the opposite side to the highway.

The air conditioning units do not work very well and it is difficult to cool down rooms which can get hot due to the higher temperatures in this part of the world and in addition they can also be quite noisy when switched on.

In rooms there isn't a fridge or a microwave as some guests expect to find and who feel that this would be a good addition.
