The outlets near the bed did not work the best. However the water pressure in the shower is the stuff of dreams. If you are not clean leaving that shower it is your own fault.

The hotel is very close to San Francisco International Airport. They offer free airport shuttle bus. It runs very frequent. You can see the runway from the hotel. I have stayed here before. The front desk was very friendly. And check in was very quick. I got water view room but the room itself was ok not very big. The M Club Lounge only opened for breakfast during the weekend. I was very disappointed that I got Lounge Access room but I was not able to use it. Many other Marriott open M Club more often. I had dinner in Flights View Lounge and food and service was good. I was told I got $15 credit from the destination charge I paid for $25 if I charged to my room. They kind of force you to spend the money. This is my quick overnight stay over the weekend. I may come back again.

Here for a conference. Was initially not expecting much from an “airport hotel,” but this is a great property. Beautiful rooms, great service, conference rooms have been great too, along with the catering. There’s a Starbucks in the lobby, a well appointed gym (that was popular), and it’s located adjacent to the Bay Trail, great for a walk or a run.

Beautiful breakfast and evening spread for business travelers/M Club- lots of fresh grilled vegetables in morning and oatmeal with a variety of toppings; fresh salad and cheese plate in evening. Restaurant served a very good lean burger. I’m gluten sensitive and they were very accommodating. Very friendly staff-front desk this morning, bar last night, waiter at dinner, staff in lounge. I asked if I could take a plate of deliciously fresh salad from M Club up to my room in the evening, Amalia was so kind she wrapped the plate in plastic and placed it in a bag for me to take to my room. Very clean, peaceful rooms that are refreshed daily.

Thank you for making my young son and my terrible delayed overnight flight into a nice hotel night experience, Elizabeth! I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and thoughtfulness! We have been traveling all over the world and had never encountered a better service like yours. Room itself is of course great like all other Marriott. Shuttle in and out airport is convenient. Running late til 3am is a plus.

Perfect location for an overnight before flying out of SFO the next day. I dropped of the rental car at SFO the night I arrived (night before my flight) so I didn't have to worry about it in the morning. This hotel is very near a Shell gas station for filling up the rental, and very near a highway entrance for going to the airport. The hotel shuttle runs regularly and pick ups at departures of the international terminal. Shuttle service is friendly. The restaurant has a nice selection of food and drinks, which are expensive, sure, but very convenient. Service at the restaurant by Dival was excellent. The luggage concierge has a scale to make sure you're not overweight for your checked luggage. There is a "destination charge" (similar to a resort fee), so make sure you maximize the benefits of that, including free luggage tags and a restaurant discount, among other perks. Overall, great experience. I will return as often as possible. #recommended #bechego

Such a beautiful hotel, and what an amazing location! It's very calm and scenic. The area appears very safe, and we're still able yo drive into the city for fun activities. Very close to the airport. Has a restaurant, Starbucks and quite a few amenities if you need or forgot something. The staff has been super friendly and accommodating. Our son also loves this location being able to watch the aircrafts land and take-off is something he absolutely enjoys.
