We would definitely stay there again!
Pros:

Very clean hotel, room was great bathroom was great size. Ceasar, the clerk who checked us in was very polite and was a great representative for your hotel. Complimentary breakfast was great, and the staff that worked the breakfast were very polite. We didn't even realize there was a complimentary breakfast. Easy access to freeway.

Cons:

Parking was difficult, and the A/C didn't seem very cool even though I turned it down to 65.

Pros:

Hotel was in a convenient location. Room was large and spacious. Breakfast was good as far as hotel breakfasts go.

Cons:

I had made the reservation in my name for my husband and me. My husband arrived at 2 am and I was to arrive the following morning. My husband had the reservation number and confirmation in the Booking.com app. However, since his name was not on the reservation, the front desk person did not allow him to check in. Even after, he went into the app to add his name, he was denied check in. She did not offer him a different room or any help, just said he is not allowed to check in. Luckily, his brother was staying in the same hotel and he took him in. I don't understand what the thinking was. What was he supposed to do? He had the reservation confirmation. After I arrived the next morning, we talked to the manager. Her suggestion was to not use Booking or another third party. She said that this issue would have been resolved had we booked with Marriott directly. It seems like because we booked through a third party we received different treatment. What a terrible experience. We will not stay here again.

High quality one bedroom suite
Pros:

We were in a one bedroom suite with our toddler and little dog. I really liked our suite — it was like a pretty good one bedroom apartment. Well-updated, not too cramped, large kitchen. We set up the toddler travel crib in the living room so that we could watch TV in the bedroom after bedtime. An outstanding feature is the large shower with good water pressure.

Note, though, that this hotel is next to the freeway, and you could consider whether to ask for a room that will be on the quieter side.

There is included breakfast, but it is pretty minimal — scrambled eggs, sausage patties, waffles, cereal. The waffle makers were out of service for our stay.

Clean Comfortable Hotel.
Pros:

The hotel was very clean and everything was comfortable. The location was also good. We reach to freeways easily.

Cons:

The breakfast end at 09.30, which is early to end it. People needs to rush early morning. For vacation purpose it is not very comfortable to wake up early. 10.30 would be is more reasonable. Also, the content of the breakfast was limited. It might be a standard America berakfast. However, it can be improved.
