Refreshing Business Renovation Adds Welcoming Amenities to Courtyard Oxnard Ventura's Lobby

OXNARD, CA--(Marketwire - May 7, 2012) - Adding a welcoming new look to its hotel lobby, one of the premier hotels in Oxnard, CA is undergoing a renovation beginning in May of 2012 that will add extra amenities to help travelers keep up with business while enjoying a more intimate and relaxed atmosphere.

Transpiring its lobby to Courtyard by Marriott specifications for the brand's Refreshing Business lobby concept, the stylish Courtyard Oxnard Ventura front foyer renovation is expected to take six to 10 weeks, but promises exciting new features aimed at bringing guests out of their rooms and into a contemporary and stylish area. One of the most popular features of this Channel Islands Harbor hotel's new space will be the Marriott's own GoBoard technology, an interactive 55-inch LCD touch screen beaming with directions, meeting information, weather, news and sports headlines.

Media pods will be located throughout the Courtyard Oxnard Ventura hotel's lobby, providing guests a more intimate setting for socializing with family or business associates, so whether it's time for work or time for play, there's a place to gather. Free wireless Internet access is available throughout the property so the new lobby is ideal for catching up on emails and connecting with family and friends in a warm, yet vibrant atmosphere.

The traditional front desk will be replaced with welcome pedestals that allow hotel associates to connect with guests upon check-in, while also giving staff the opportunity to educate guests about the functional role the lobby plays in providing them with a unique and satisfying hotel experience.

In addition to the Channel Islands, CA hotel's new open spaces, lobby dining will be available from the hotel's new S Bar, which will be open daily for breakfast and dinner. Brewing delicious Starbucks coffee and providing guests with healthy and hearty breakfast options as well as grab 'n' go items that help facilitate the hectic schedules of business travelers, the stylish design of The Bistro eatery will be outdone only by its fine offering snacks and menu items. Breakfast sandwiches, fast and fresh fruits and cereals will be offered along with pan and griddle entrées allowing guests to determine if they want to eat on the run or enjoy a sit down morning meal. Other food options will include sandwiches, pizza, snacks, seasonal items, soups and salads along with a variety of cocktails, beer and wine by the glass.
