It's a great place every time I'm out there of course if there's any rooms available they take care of the place and they always have treated me great
Great stay – even late at night! I got to the hotel pretty late after a long day of travel, and I wasn’t sure what to expect—but the staff were seriously amazing. Super friendly and helpful, even though it was late. They made check-in quick and easy, which I really appreciated. The room was way more spacious than I expected, and really comfortable. It was just what I needed to relax and unwind. All in all, great experience. I’d definitely stay here
The hotel's design is exactly what you'd expect from a Courtyard. The bed was very comfortable, as is typical of a Marriott property. The room was relatively quiet, but the fridge was somewhat noisy, and the HVAC unit was very noisy. The rooms are spacious, and perhaps for that reason, the TV sits atop of a piece of furniture (rather than being mounted to the wall) and thus the HDMI ports are readily accessible if you want to hook-up your own streaming device. However, accepting the terms and conditions on the Wifi is difficult, so bring a travel router if you want to do that. The hotel is in a good location next to the freeway and very near the Costco (which has the best prices on gas in the area). When the hotel is full, the parking lot can fill up in the evening, and it can be a challenge to find a parking space. I was disappointed that they eliminated the typical Courtyard buffet breakfast options and replaced them all with a faux Starbucks that gives you a much more limited choice for breakfast that wouldn't have been a good deal even if they had offered it for free (which they didn't). If I stay here again, I will be eating elsewhere.
Really friendly and helpful staff. Small bar with food a Starbucks in the lobby. Clean modern rooms. Excellent for the price
Great hotel, very clean, appears to have been recently renovated, good clean/safe location (near grocery stores/restaurants), bed and pillows very soft/comfortable. I had a minor issue with my reservation and Selena at the front desk was VERY helpful (she went above and beyond to help me). The only con: No free breakfast, you have to pay extra $. Other than that, its a 9 out of 10
First off, anybody who wants to give less than 5 stars to this establishment, get a life and off your entitled horse. You are not entitled and are no better than anyone here and actually, not even as good or even close. This hotel has very nice rooms but the most important thing to me is the staff. I am bad with names so please forgive me. I had a conversation with Ailsa (Assistant General Manager) and my gosh what a wonderful individual. So kind, so gracious, and all about top notch customer service and meeting the customers needs. She goes above and beyond. The rest of the staff was also amazing. Not one bad experience throughout my stay. Every single person I met was top notch and beyond amazing and all of them go above and beyond. So for those of you who did give 5 stars, hats off to you because you are not entitled and recognize a wonderful place and staff which is virtually nonexistent these days just about everywhere. For those who rated below 5 stars what do you want, a red carpet with rose petals and strawberries upon entry? You don't ever give anyone 5 stars in hopes of what? a free juice for your troubles? Expecting the room to be filled with rose petals and champagne not to mention, you want to be sucked up to? Oh please, get a life as you clearly don't have one. Having said all that, all I have to say is WOW to the staff. Ailsa? You were absolutely amazing and I cannot wait to come back next time real soon. Have the best day everyday! :) wish it allowed me to give 100 stars!
