Best Western Plus Thousand Oaks Inn

Tucked at the base of the Santa Monica Mountains in Thousand Oaks, this full-service Thousand Oaks hotel puts you close to Malibu, the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza and the Ronald Reagan Library. The Oaks Mall and Janss Marketplace are a short walk away, California Lutheran University sits about four miles out, and regional draws like the Getty Villa, Santa Monica Pier and Universal City are within easy reach.

Rooms are well appointed with private balconies, flat-screen TVs, refrigerators and work desks — some suites add a spa tub, large living room and dining table. Expect modern touches like DVD players, high-definition channels and complimentary high-speed internet. The vibe is relaxed and welcoming, with a guest library and courtyard that lean local and a salon/day-spa for those who refuse to slow down.

Soak in a heated outdoor pool and hot tub, hit the on-site fitness room, or use complimentary access to a nearby Gold’s Gym. Other standouts include a guest library, courtyard, free self-parking and on-property spa services — perfect for waking up to Santa Monica Mountain views and a mellow, getaway feel.

Fast, complimentary high-speed internet and an on-site business center keep you connected. Event-ready meeting and banquet facilities (roughly 5,000 sq ft) accommodate groups up to about 200 people, with limo/town car service and express check-out available.

An on-site restaurant and bar/lounge serve guests daily, with full breakfasts available for a fee and a coupon program for breakfast at the hotel’s restaurant. Regional flavors and casual dining make mornings and evenings easy after a day exploring the Conejo Valley.
