Santa Clara Marriott

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 20 Nov 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

This is a very convenient location for any of the cities of Silicon Valley and has good access to the freeways (101 and 280).

Positives: The bed.

Negatives: Gift shop doesn't open early enough of Sundays. Parking at $9/day.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 23 Oct 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

It is clean and comfortable and we felt safe in the area.

Positives: They even cleaned under the bed.

Negatives: They argued with me about parking and whether I had to pay for it or not.

This hotel is quite nice and strategically located near 101 by the Great America. The room is quite nice too. Clean and quite up-to date with flat panel TV and integrated desk complete with power and internet outlets.

Positives: The location.

Negatives: I have to pay extra for parking and internet.

After staying at another hotel in the same area for two nights with a horrible experience, the Marriott in Santa Clara was heaven. Beautiful, contemporary rooms with large TV and granite throughout, just lovely and a good end to our mini vacation.

Positives: Contemporary clean quiet beautiful linens and art everything A+.

Negatives: One tiny thing - toilet paper holder put in odd location.

This hotel is conveniently located off Mission College Blvd, with attractive, comfortable rooms and just adjacent to the amusement park. Just be prepared to pay $9.00 for each day you stay for parking.

Positives: Convenient location, comfortable bed.

Negatives: Charged $9.00 per day to park.

I really enjoyed this hotel and all the services and amenities. The location was great, too, and close to several other options for food. The staff was excellent. We were put in a court yard room, which may have explained why the bathroom was so small compared to other Marriott's where we have stayed in the past.

Positives: Great staff, great location, great amenities.

Negatives: My only ding is that the bathroom was small; smaller than most other Marriott's.

We came in on a Friday morning and enjoyed the amusement park across the street, later that night one of the managers gave us excellent ideas (and clear directions) on dining in San Francisco. The Service within the Hotel was excellent and the overall appeal of the structure was superb. The restaurant itself offers gourmet food, not really suited for picky eaters, and there weren't too many other options of dining within the area.

Positives: The Hotel has been recently remodeled. The decor, comfort and staff were up to my expectations. We are planning our next stay there.

Negatives: The food was a bit pricey and the menu not really kid friendly. Then again the Hotel is geared toward the adult population, or the business traveler.

Great location to great America Park. Food was A+, but very pricey. Staff went above and beyond. Drink machine price for soda was $2.50, parking was $18.00/night.

Positives: Very upscale for the price.

Negatives: Ice machine was broke on my floor, also had to pay $18.00 for parking.

Positives: The rooms and staff.

Negatives: None.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 20 Feb 2008 rated 7 out of 10.

Hotel is nice. Obviously caters to business traveler. Did not like the fact that they charged an extra $9 per day to park car.

Positives: Pool and fitness center.

Negatives: Poor housekeeping service. Gone between 10am-2pm and room still not cleaned.

The location was good since you can see the Marriott off of the freeway by great America. It definitely is a 3 star hotel but I think parking and internet wi fi should be included in the price (free). The front desk isn't too friendly, but they will accommodate whatever you need. Their on site restaurant, parcel 140, is very good but expect to pay a lot of $$$$.

Positives: The exterior and interior of this hotel was excellent. The rooms were sophisticated with nice flat screen TV and temperature control.

Negatives: Parking is an additional $9.00 per day and internet use is $5 for 20 minutes on their terminals. Not too business friendly.

They like to nickel-and-dime you. Charge extra for everything.

Positives: Clean.

Negatives: The shower didn't work well, and they failed to fix it or move us.

There is no reason anyone who is not staying/visiting the hotel would ever use the hotel's vast parking lots, so there is little justification to charge for parking except to screw their customers for another $9 a day. If they were downtown, I could understand it, but given their location, it's absurd.

Positives: Comfortable bed.

Negatives: Charge for parking.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 11 Sep 2007 rated 8 out of 10.

Thats their marketing departments job not mine.

Positives: The convenience of the location from the Freeway.

Negatives: The parking if you are staying at the hotel the additional parking free is insane.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 11 Sep 2007 rated 10 out of 10.

Excellent and the rooms have been updated.

Positives: Updated from last year.

Negatives: The bathroom was the smallest I have ever used.

The hotel is still under renovation but we were given a room on the top floor (concierge level). The room had already been renovated and everything was new. The LCD was nice and big. The decor in the room was contemporary. The air conditioning was functioning properly. Overall, this is a great place to stay because it's a reasonable driving distance to San Francisco and really close to the San Jose airport. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

Positives: Hotel provided computer and printer to print out boarding passes.

Negatives: $9/day for self-parking.
