The Four Points Sheraton/Holiday Inn Express is located in Ventura, California just 70 miles north of Los Angeles and 30 miles south of Santa Barbara. The Four Points by Sheraton/Holiday Inn Express is nestled on 17 acres of prime coastal land along California's Gold Coast and is the only hotel on the Ventura Harbor. The nearby Ventura Harbor Village provides an authentic California atmosphere complete with casual dining, shopping and a beautiful view of the ocean. The Four Points by Sheraton Hotel was sold in 2006 and the new owners have decided to operate the hotel under two separate names. The hotel now operates under the Holiday Inn Express name as well as the Four Points by Sheraton. GRC has utilized rooms in both hotels since 1996.
