Comfortable stay but dated hotel. Rooms have a stuffy smell that couldn't air out with window open. Mini kitchen with appliances from the 80s. Quiet surroundings for a decent sleep. Tasty continental breakfasts. Located in the middle of nowhere.

I spend 2 weeks in Towneplace suites, Redwood city in Aug 2011. I stayed in a 2 bedroom suite . I was specific to have a kitchen , this place suited by requirement. The kitchen got microwave, electric stove, dish washer (of course the room service do the washing in it) ,fridge , coffee machine, minimum vessels and cutlery . It was quite functional for a minimum cooking and reheating affair. Of course not enough for a Indian cooking (I'm an Indian).
The bed is quite cosy and comfortable. The aircondition is not centralized , you need to manually switch on and off for all the rooms. There was adequate storage space in bedrooms. Ample natural light in one room and no window in the other one. The one with the window was facing a creek , it was quite good in the morning .
There was a common laundry available, but i felt the number of machines were not enough for the number of suites . So you might need to to go early in the morning to finish it fast.
The complementary breakfast provided was quite limited. Cereals, fruits, milk and muffins. All out of the box (or cover) items and nothing freshly cooked.
The sofa provided in the hall was not very comfortable. There were TV's in hall and both bedroom. Not bad for 160$ per day. I paid the same for single room suite in near by sofitel.

I went along with my husband on a business trip and this is where we stayed for 6 days. We had the Studio room I believe. The bed was super comfortable (as they typically are in all Marriots I have ever stayed in). The kitchen was perfect with a full refrigerator, small stove/oven, microwave, dishwasher and full stock of dishes, pots, etc. Even dish soap provided. I actually had been in a car accident three days before leaving on our trip and spent a lot of time hanging around the hotel trying to recuperate. The entire hotel has a very pleasant staff that is eager to assist with anything you need and do so quickly. I was worried about it being right next to a small airport but since you have soundproof windows i never heard a thing when in my room. Even outside you are rarely disturbed by plane noises. I took daily walks on the nature trial which is pleasant. The hot tub is nice (too bad no pool) and has comfortable chairs and two tables around it. The breakfast is adequate. No protein choices but I bought eggs and cooked them in my room to supplement. The reasons for giving this hotel 4 instead of five are the phone reception in the room was spotty and the wireless internet was not very fast. Also, the lack of a protein at breakfast which would have been nice. They did have fresh fruit, coffee, and hot water for tea and cocoa available all day. They serve really good cookies in the afternoon too. I appreciated those "extras".

I would stay here again with no problem. It is conveniently located to many major corporate headquarters. It is about 10 miles south of the San Fransisco Airport and 10 miles north of Palo Alto. if you get the chance visit Stanford Universities Cantor Art Museum. Outstanding and free too. One of the highlights of my trip. Beautiful campus too.

All in all i really enjoyed my stay here and would stay again.

We chose this hotel because it required a sensibly low number of Marriott points, and we needed 2 rooms for the family. It turned out to be a great choice! The hotel is a quick 20-25 minute drive to the attractions in San Francisco, a good start for heading down to Monterey/Pacific Grove, AND it has a lovely paved and gravel nature path behind the hotel. Every morning we would walk 1 1/2 miles down the path, enjoying the smell of licorice (?) plants, the pelicans, the unidentified birds, hummingbirds, flowers, and the life on the bay - and then walk 1 1/2 miles back to a simple, satisfactory breakfast (yogurt, packaged bagels, cereal, bananas, coffee, etc.). It was a wonderful way to start the morning! And, for the 2 young adults, the shopping center next door (about 1/2 mile) has a Starbucks, a grocery store, and an abundance of casual restaurants... so that they could eat and drink in their usual style.

The hotel is very convenient to the airport, has plenty of parking, and even gave us a reason to go explore downtown Redwood City (a few restaurants, ice cream parlor, very cute!). The staff is helpful, and the rooms are fine. But the real draw for us was the reasonable rate, and the nature path - which set it apart from the other, similar establishments in the area.
