“Good Choice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed June 8, 2013 via mobile

Chose Courtyard Marriott Foster City because of the close proximity to San Francisco International Airport. Our flight was scheduled to arrive after midnight and due to bad weather made it to the hotel after 3. Ready to hit the sack - our check in was quick and the up beat personality of the front desk customer representative put us in... More

“Comfortable, clean, and great service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 29, 2013

I stay here occasionally when on business in the area. Always a great experience. Staff is very helpful. Rooms are always clean and comfortable. Refrigerator in the room is a bonus plus it was very quiet. Restaurant has good breakfast options. Small workout room can get crowded. Easy walk to Starbucks, Noah's Bagels, and other quick restaurants.

“Maker Faire Weekend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2013

We stayed here for the Maker Faire weekend. This is a very nice hotel and in a great location. The staff was very friendly. The room was a nice size and comfortable. If I had to find one thing to complain about, it would be the bed, I think just adding a pillow top or some kind of mattress cover... More

“Great hotel for work trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 21, 2013

Think this is a mostly a business travellers hotel as pretty far from SF itself and not a huge amount nearby. Having said that, it was a 5 min walk from the office I was in, and a 2-min drive from a retail park, which included some ok chain restaurants & a Target, so for a working visit, location ideal....

“Very Comfortable and Clean”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 17, 2013

My only complaint was at check-in I had reserved a King room and somehow they were out of Kings and only had two queens, but yet the hotel was only half full. The rooms are very comfortable, great beds, and the staff are very freindly and helpful. Housekeeping does an incredible job. Very comfortable week long trip on business.

“Good hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 6, 2013

I am staying here for 12 days and am on my 8th day. It's a nice hotel. The rooms are clean, the staff are very polite and the bed is comfortable. The restaurant in the lobby is okay for simple meals but you will tire of it quickly.

Just stayed here for 2 weeks on a business trip, and as I packed I realized that I had not had a single negative experience at this hotel over that entire time.

“Misleading reservation process”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed March 19, 2013

I booked this hotel through Southwest.com as part of a package. I chose the selection that allowed me to pay at checkout, but well before my trip, the hotel was calling me, leaving voicemails at home, emailing, informing me that prepayment was required in order to get the rate specified. Well, when I finally spoke to someone at the hotel... More

That was the reason why our team members were proactive with your reservation. It is also every Marriott hotels' policy... More

“Courtyard Foster City”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

The check in was quick, easy, and Eva was very friendly. The property was quiet and clean. I called the front desk at 11pm to get a wake up call, and never got the attendent. The location has several restauarants within walking distance. I walked to Sweet Basil Thai, about 1.5 miles. Had breakfast at the IHOP around the corner.

“Really nice courtyard”

We checked in late in the evening. Service from the lady reception was very pleasant and she explained to us in details for breakfast and etc. The next day, we woke up late but the staff were accomodating when we purchased our breakfast. Overall, wonderful experience!
