Stayed here for a week to attend a conference and visit our local office. The hotel is a lot bigger than the pictures make you believe but the atmosphere is of a small hotel. There is a welll stocked little shop with Starbucks and the California Grill restaurant is good too. The gym is split into two ans open 24/7 and there is a 7/11 and Trader Joe's nearby. Great!

Although I will probably return to this hotel on furture trips to the area, my last trip made me feel like something was lacking. I think that it was the personal feeling I used to get when staying there in the past.
Circumstances had prevented me from staying here for about a year but prior to that I would stay there for three or four nights at least ince each quarter.
I would always pay for a room with the Concierge servce and would always be treated like a welcome , returning guest upoon check in.
On my trip of two weeks ago I felt like I was being treated as a first time guest of the hotel, and when I asked if I was getting the Concierge service the desk clerk stated, " you only get that if you are a gold member or higher. You are only a silver memeber." His tone made me feel like I had just asked for an audiance with the Pope. When I explained to him that I was a frequent guest of the hotel prior he said, " I guess that I can allow you Concierge service for this one time only, but this is a special favor I am giving you and you will not get it again at your level." Not too professional at all.

I just stayed here for 3 days of meetings in Redwood Shores and would stay here again. Very easy, convenient Marriott. Nothing amazing, nothing terrible, pretty much what I would expect from a good solid Marriott. Cardio room had good equipment but was a bit crowded and stuffy but no complaints. Breakfast buffet was exactly what you would expect as well.

I have stayed here before and it has been a nicer experience. The room was not really clean, the toilet and desk area were dirty. The heating system was very noisy and just seemed to blow air and make noise but not do much to heat the room. It blew the whole night. The alarm went off at 4:15 am. The cable TV could not receive NBC, HBO, and ESPN2 as the picture broke up and did not resolve. The other channels worked fine.

I was tired and only staying one night and discovered all these things over time. If I had discovered them all at once when I came into the room, I would have asked for a new room and I am sure they would have given me one. The hotel seemed empty. The was on Jan 2nd and maybe the regular cleaning staff was off. The bed was quite comfortable as usual and the front desk was courteous and efficient. But, it was not a four star hotel experience.
