We stayed here for 5 days in August 2012 on business. The weather was cold and rainy, a bit unusual for that time of year but the stay was great, nice rooms and the staff will bend over backwards to help you with any need you have. There is a Starbucks on location in their little restaurant there, same prices as the Starbucks across the street but that Starbucks closes early. This hotel is at a good location right off the freeway/toll (be aware there is a toll going towards San Francisco), big Raleys supermarket in the parking lot and lots of Asian restaurants to choose from. However, our favorite restaurant was a hole in the wall Mexican that honestly cannot be missed. Across the street from the hotel, open late called Taqueria Los Gallos, supremely great and super cheap!!! Honestly, I am born and bred Los Angeleno and I love my Mexican food but this was fantastic. The family Chinese restaurant in the same parking lot was less good but they gave tons and they were super cheap, perhaps you need to know what to order.

As a business traveler, consistency is always a huge plus. This is one of those new/renovated Courtyards with the pods for checking in and "lounge-y" places for drinks and limited menu. I was only there one night, so not a lot of time to check it all out.

Lobby is huge and well lit. Check in was straightforward and simple. Got a little bag of chocolates and a small water in addition to the extra points for being Marriott Platinum. The room was nice with comfortable beds and a nice flat screen TV. Bathroom was big.

Parking was available but had to park in the back and walk around because I got in late. It was hard to see the road to turn on after getting off the interstate. Did a breakfast sandwich which was good but seemed a little pricey for $8.

Definitely would stay there again if needed.

Our stay was wonderful, we checked in at about 9pm, the pool is only suppose to be open until 10:00 but they allowed our very tired soccer players, ages 8-19 to relax in the pool until about 11:30, as long as they did not make a bunch of noise. OUr room accomadations were great, the beds were good, extra pillows, extra clean and smelled good. The lobby was great, we ordered pizza's from a local pizza hut and abou 20 of us ate in the lobby area where they have multiple tables. Everyone we spoke to there was friendly.

We stayed at the Marriott in Newark, Ca. this last weekend. Three nights, Friday night through Monday morning with not a single complaint.

The room was clean, maid service was excellent, nice big screen TV, front desk agent (young man with a pony tail) was very helpful and courtous, room was quiet.

This hotel was a great launching point to San Fransisco and was everything I had hoped and more.
