Review of Courtyard Marriott Redwood City, California

Stay Here for the Location and the Brand New Hotel Cleanliness

The brand new Courtyard Marriott in Redwood City, which opened in March 2017, offers guests the ideal location in the peninsula of the Bay Area. It is perfect if you want a hotel centrally located between San Francisco and San Jose.

While not a five-star luxury hotel, the Courtyard Marriott in Redwood City satisfies all the basic comforts with the perks of its location and cleanliness.

 

The Lobby & Facilities

As soon as you enter the Courtyard Marriott in Redwood City, you are greeted with a large lobby floor plan. Next to the front desk is a 24-hour “Market” which is stocked with pantry goods that can satisfy jet lag hunger in the middle of the night. During the day, you can enjoy the Bistro with cold and hot foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as Starbucks coffee.

The facilities include a 24-hour fitness center, 24-hour business center, and a small heated outdoor pool in the courtyard area of the hotel. The ground floor and second-floor structure provide plenty of on-site parking for $14 per night. Tip: Park on the second floor near the key-access entrance to head straight up to your room and bypass walking to and through the lobby.

 

The Rooms & Suite

There are two types of accommodations in the hotel: Guest Rooms and 1 Bedroom Executive Suite. Guest Rooms and High Floor Rooms are basically the same exact room with the difference of staying on the 4th or 5th floor as the “High Floor” room.

In the Guest Rooms, you have a choice of 1 king bed and sofa bed or 2 queen beds. In the suite, there are only configurations with 1 king bed and a sofa bed.

Guest Room with 1 King Bed and a Sofa Bed. The king bed is luxuriously spacious for one guest and comfortably spacious for two guests. The room provides a little closet space with an ironing board, extra blanket, and pillow. Plus there is a luggage landing near the bed
The sofa bed can comfortably sleep an additional guest in the room. The sofa itself comes with an ottoman and a movable little desk which is great for eating and watching or watching and working on your laptop
All rooms come with a coffee station with complimentary coffee (though it tastes horrible – you are better off spending for the Starbucks coffee in the lobby. Or, bring tea bags and use the coffee machine as a hot water dispenser). It also comes with a mini fridge, microwave, and glasses
Spacious bathroom with ample counter space for your toiletries and a large shower area. Note the shower pressure is weak. The bathroom amenities are basic with Paul Mitchell shampoo, conditioner, and soap for the shower and sink
