    Gross bathroom light switch

    We had business in the area again and decided to stay here again and it feels just as bad if not potentially slightly worse than our prior visit a little over a year ago. When we arrived, there was nobody at the front desk and there were a couple other people that needed assistance, yet nobody was to be found. We tried calling the phone number and could hear the phones ringing in the back, but nobody was answering. Then suddenly, a worker swooped in from the back but he looked like he had just woken up from a nap. He was fast getting us checked in but said probably less than 10 words in total during the entire check in process. The rooms are even more in a state of disrepair than a year ago, which suggests to me the owner is investing very little in the upkeep of the rooms. I'm not sure what the plan is - perhaps to milk out every dollar possible, then flip the hotel to a new owner? See the attached photos for just a sampling of the issues. The EV chargers here are still a mess. There was a non-EV parked in one of the hotel EV charging stalls and when we asked if they could locate the guest or maybe leave a note letting them know that the spots are reserved for EVs using the charger, the front desk person essentially refused and said there was nothing he could do. I realized that since they do not take car descriptions or license plates at check in, it's impossible to know which guest's car it was, however, he also couldn't be bothered to leave them a note, which was a pretty surprising. For those planning a visit to this hotel, there are plenty of stalls in the Tesla supercharger but you should not plan to be able to have access to the hotel chargers unless you just happen to get very lucky.

    This is a business travelers hotel. The lobby, restaurant, bar area, elevators and hallways were clean however hallways not well lit. We ate one breakfast & dinner at the restaurant. The breakfast tacos are a bit too greasy and the oatmeal was watery however the Bites menu item mezze platter, smash burger and California club sandwich on the dinner menu were good. Fries are shoestring (thin). Wait time to receive food is too slow. If your time is limited, order the breakfast buffet to eat quickly or allow 20 min to get your food order! Customer service rep Esme at check in was friendly however when we checked out, Esme failed to ask how was our stay, do we need a ride, or welcome us to stay with them again. Why? The rooms need MAJOR renovating, a thorough cleaning, upgraded lighting, bathroom safety features, and more snack options offered in the lobby and by robot order ( robot delivery item prices are higher!) We had a pool view room. The pool bottom is dirty. There are many more food options only 7 min, 2 miles in a shopping center with grocery stores, restaurants, and more hotels off Jarvis and Newark Streets. Rideshare services are plentiful. The rideshare trip from this hotel over the Dunbarton Bridge to Stanford was a 45 min one way trip. Plan ahead!

    So very very disappointed in this place. Me and wife stayed here last night (may14) since I was having a medical procedure very early and didn't want to drive all the way up here so early. Plus it was Mother's Day. We had stayed in aloft many years ago and really enjoyed it. We arrived early and helped by a very friendly lady. We got checked in and up to room. Upon entering room it appeared nice at a glance. We put the bags down and went out to eat. When we returned and spent time in room is where it got ugly. I should start by saying I did have to jiggle toilet since water was running when we did walk in. I pushed the lever up and it stopped so didn't think much of it. Wife opened curtains to find dead bugs in both window seals. That let in more light so was able to see gunk and garbage on floors. Wife then decided to close curtains and blackout shade and shade wouldn't work. I went over and had to literally pull it since it appeared they tapped the edges and the adhesive stuck it to itself. Wife the noticed some stain or something on top sheet so we stripped off. I was to nervous to check further since I needed to get sleep. Didn't have time to deal with changing rooms or hotels so just dealt with it. Trust me this was a bad motel 6 experience. Not just a motel 6 a bad one. So disappointed in this stay. Will not go back.

    The "Botlr" robotservice never showed up and the snacks had different ingredients than shown on the manufacturers website. Had to call the front desk to get my snack delivered 1 hour late - how convenient (not). Bathroom was smelly and the bed was old. The hallway is quite noisy and the rooms have thin walls. How could you call this a 4 star hotel - no way. This place really needs to improve. 2/5. Phone didn't even work - you have to call at max volume on the speaker phone to reach the front desk. The hotel also does not have secure wifi- good luck doing business here as most business connections must be secure to use for work. All rooms are dirty I transferred to. Recommendations 1.) replace all your beds 2.) clean the bathroom and the vents 3.) insulate your doors so they don't slam and also so they have decent noise rating to keep hallway noise out 4.) don't offer the snack delivery robot - if the human who initiates the order never does it - it won't work 5.) put a separator in your room instead of using a tv as a separator. 6.) paint the walls properly- you can see someone didn't even paint it with tape to make it straight 7.) remove the mini fridge which makes noise when on medium or high 8.) don't put sheers for the window and a pull down. Add a black out curtain to seal the corners for light 9.) add secure wifi 10.) clean your rooms Staying here makes you feel Like the people that run the hotel have never ever stayed in thier own hotel

    REALLY 3.5 STARS This is my go to hotel when coming to the area. I really appreciate the amenities: kitchenette, living room, hot tub, bar. I've come again and again, I even had my sweet 16 here. I love that the rooms feel like an apartment. There's room to walk around, I can reheat and store my food, and can grab a drink or get dinner downstairs. I love that its secluded, but close to where you need to go. Its quiet so great for business trips, or catching up with people in town. If you're picky with your hotels, not it sure if this is the one for you but I enjoy coming here!

    Bro, where is Wendy?!?! Even though the hotel kind of had some updates since I last was here... The customer service front the check-in gals was not the business. This one girl was trying to charge me $33/per hour for a late check-in as a Gold Elite. Girl, Bye!

    My first time staying at an Aloft type hotel. Everything worked out perfectly. Very new feeling on the outside. Extremely friendly and welcoming staff. Dark bar and lobby area since lights were not all turned on. Saw the room service robot in the lobby. Great location and very quiet at night. It gets dark in the parking lot, but it still felt safe and convenient. Easy self parking options. There are advantages being a Marriott Elite member with a Chase Bonvoy credit card. Received free drinks and snacks upon arrival as perks. Location is not far from freeway access and the bigger local streets. You can find restaurants, grocery stores, cafes, and bakeries within 5-10 minutes driving distance from the hotel. Corner suite room on upper floor is not bad at all. Comes with a small kitchenette, refrigerator, microwave, and extra towels. Huge livingroom area with a cable TV, coffee table, chair, and couch. Light switches and sir conditioner worked fine. Loved all the huge windows and blinds. Felt like a home away from home. Bed was comfortable and the room was clean. Only thing to note is the shower area may be old since water goes down slower than usual during showers. Bathroom is very spacious and had lots of storage drawer space. Hygiene items were good. Oh, the soap smelled very good too. Hair conditioner and shampoo was high quality and didn't over-dry my hair. Huge windows made a difference in the look and feel of the stay. Lots of natural room lights! We will be staying again someday.

    This is a great hotel located in Newark near the Dumbarton Bridge. There's plenty of parking and offer Tesla chargers as well. The front desk staff was very kind at check in and when we forgot our key in the room and had to get a replacement. We got lucky and got a corner room which had so much room with a small kitchenette with small refrigerator. There was a table and a tv that swiveled where you could watch from the couch or from the bed. The bathroom had a bathtub and a separate shower which was a bit small. The shower had Dry Bar shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. I wish they provided more towels already in the room, but we were able to ask for more. I would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again in the future.

    MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND STAYCATION…read more I'm enrolled in different rewards programs such as airlines and casinos. One of the programs I'm enrolled in is Asia Miles. I hadn't earned miles through my Asia Miles account for close to 18 months. If I had not earned miles by May 30 all the miles I earned through Asia Miles will reset to zero. One of their partners is Courtyard by Marriott. I reserved a room for two nights during Memorial Weekend. The reason I booked Courtyard Newark Silicon Valley was due to the swimming pool as I needed something to do on my staycation. I came here Saturday afternoon. The guest room is spacious enough. The bed was really comfy. The staff was really nice. The lobby was clean and organized. I even like the Keurig coffee machine inside the room that had some coffee pods. There's a cafe opened in the morning when you can buy coffee and hot food. Despite all the positive attributes of this Marriott I gave the rating I did because I came for a staycation. After I checked-in on a Saturday afternoon I tried to swim in the swimming pool. Noticed I said "tried", but the swimming pool was cold. I ended going to the whirlpool. The next day on a Sunday I came back to the swimming in the afternoon. I noticed the debris from trees in the pool. There are a lot of trees around the pool. With the abundance of trees this pool needs to be cleaned constantly. During my stay there not only was the pool cold but also dirty. If I had to stay at another Courtyard by Marriott it wouldn't be here.

He made sure to remind me that he was doing me the favor of taking some time in his office to speak to me. The Front Office Manager, Maria Lopez Soto.. I'm not sure if she was protecting me from him or vice versa. The entire front desk staff seemed to do everything in their power to protect each other. Loved ones of staff were constantly on property, only assuming they were not paying guests as these same people were seen hopping the pool fences and not tapping room keys. Marriott Bonvoy employees (they told me straight out that they worked for the company) were right there celebrating with them. It's very apparent that they don't want their endless summer to be taken away from them. Already anticipating the responses and Yelp cover ups that will be taking place after this review. They made it very apparent that they hated me: I was welcomed to this Residence Inn by 3 men peeing on the wall right outside of my hotel room window. Grown men were yelling in the lobby and up and down the halls all night long. Boyfriends of employees parked in front of the hotel blasting music at full volume all day. Adults hopped the fence into the pool area to get drunk and smoke weed and run around for hours on end night after night. Couldn't use the jacuzzi due to deathly allergy to smoke inhalation but begged them to have this area usable for me for just one night of my stay. Instead, the drunken, puking, reefer, sex party was still continuing in that hot tub that same night. Zero cameras on property and staff used this as a way to try to gaslight me into believing that complaints I made weren't real. Staff would knock on the door and immediately use their hotel keys to open it and try to walk in, even after I'd yell that I had just gotten out of the shower and was naked. I would be told that the hotel had security but after staying on property for 5 days straight I didn't see them more than once. I was asked to instead provide the last names of strangers so identities could be found and issues could be resolved, obviously impossible. Used the laundry services and my clothes smelled like mold, mildew, and diarrhea. Had to pack up all of my stuff in the middle of my stay to move to the property next door. Staff rolled their eyes at me and talked about me under their breath during my entire stay because I was unhappy about the things that were continuously happening and how unseriously I was being taken. Treated like an inconvenience for not being able to get sleep or work done and instead physically ill from the stress of feeling dangerously unsafe. Came home to my legs and ankles so swollen I can barely walk. My health issues were exasperated by the stress and fear brought onto me while at Residence Inn Newark. To the point that I'm not eating, barely sleeping, and on the toilet 10+ times a day. Bolting awake at night from a dead sleep with severe anxiety that another man is going to come through my hotel room door. Spent hours on the phone with corporate and was promised phone calls and emails from hotel management, which they never delivered on it. Was told issues were escalated to upper management and even told elaborate stories on how these managers actually dealt with the situation behind the scenes. Same managers knew nothing of these events taking place the very next day when I asked them face to face. Was offered $0 in compensation nor any kind of resolution for what I experienced. This is all just the tip of the ice berg to the horrors of what to expect at this property. Fun place if you want to party it up. Not a nice place if you want to be treated as a valuable customer whose right to feel safe is considered.

The room was not properly cleaned. A dirty fork was left behind, which clearly should have been noticed during inspection. The clock in the room is also missing its 9V battery. Every time the key card is removed and the room loses power, the clock resets completely. This may seem minor, but for travelers it becomes an unnecessary inconvenience. To me, this reflects a management issue more than a housekeeping issue. If leadership conducted routine quality inspections on even a handful of rooms daily, problems like this would be identified immediately. Small cost-cutting decisions -- such as not replacing a simple battery -- negatively impact the guest experience. Additionally, the shower water pressure is extremely weak, making it difficult to properly shower after traveling. To make matters worse, guests are also charged for parking in Newark, which feels more like a revenue grab than a guest-focused policy. Overall, this property does not deliver value for the price being charged, and I will not stay at this location again in the future.
