Matt, Lucy, and Cynthia all went above and beyond to see that all my needs were met. I had a special need for a conference phone and Matt didn't quit until he found one for me (ended up he actually borrowed one from the front desk!).

Staff was great. Hotel was clean in rooms and lobby. Saturday morning breakfast was good but could have used a few more healthy alternatives (only watermelon for fruit for example). Close to 101 and shopping just down the street with several restaurants nearby as well. Now the bad: The mattress in our room was in need of replacing - my... More

The one bedroom suit was definitely made for 2. There were 2 spoons, 2 plates, 2 cups, etc. except for towels and there were double the issue. Complementary coffee, tea, popcorn.

A reasonable place to stop for one night. An older hotel which has had some decor updates. The bed was comfortable and the room was ok, but lack of soundproofing from above was an issue. We heard the guests upstairs entering their room and getting ready for bed at night. They were up at 6am and it was very loud,... More

Good location just off the 101. Near a huge retail park. It's up to the usual Marriott Residence Inn standards. Pretty good free hot breakfast. Great quality free Wi-Fi. Nice big indoor pool. Whirlpool was boarded up with no explanation as to why. Fantastic quality room.
