Stayed four nights for business in Van Nuys. This hotel was a short, easy commute in the early morning and worth the drive to sleep in what I felt was a safer area. The room was clean and quiet. I left at 6 each morning so can't rate the breakfast. I fully understand why breakfast doesn't start any earlier than that but was a little disappointed that coffee wasn't kept fresh during the off peak hours.

The staff was friendly and the hotel is convenient to both fast food and casual sit down restaurants. Would stay here again.

we just returned from a 2 night stay in Santa clarita and had a very pleasant stay at the Fairfield.
The rooms were very large and well equipped. The breakfast was a wonderful bonus...but get out there early as it gets very crowded. Great selection of breakfast choices. The warm "ooey gooey" chocolate cookies were fabulous...as our entire family ate the whole batch alone! My only complaint was few...one was that they had just installed a beauiful gas firepit out by the pool and the guy at the desk didn't even know it was out there and was arguing with us about it. Upon calling maintenance, he was informed that they had installed one, but it wasn't completed yet to use, so we couldn't sit by the warm fire at the fairfield hotel, but across the way was another hotel that they are affiliated with, and they also got a new fire pit installed and they allowed us to go over and use that one. (Wonderful of them to make the accomadations for us). Also, on the website, it showed a magitized mirror in the bathroom (which I was excited too see) because my eyesight isn't the best anymore and it really helps when applying my makeup, but they didn't have one in our room...booooohoooo! But other than those things, Our stay was wonderful...we would definately be back again when traveling thru town.

We had reserved 4 rooms for us & all our children and grandchildren on the way to a Mexican cruise from Los Angeles. It was an excellent stop. We had asked for two cribs, which were in the rooms when we arrived. Check-in was extremely easy, and the rooms were very large & clean. The bathroom was also clean. They had fresh cookies in the lobby as well as fruit. The desk person was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good with lots of choices for the kids. Coffee and tea were available 24 hours. We were able to play cards on the tables in the breakfast area. We had looked for a reasonable hotel which was good for all the kids, and this Marriott definitely fit the bill. It's also in a great location. I would certainly recommend staying here.

Pros:
* Less than 10 minutes to Magic Mountain
* Excellent breakfast (included in room charge)

Cons:
* (Brace yourself) Blood on the comforter when we checked in. Not dried, brown blood but bright red blood. The hotel replaced it for us but, honestly, I can't believe that housekeeping missed it.
* Shower jetted out too hard and was uncomfortable. Could not adjust it.
