"This location fit our needs perfectly! The location was a huge benefit with a full grocery store a hundred feet away and a variety of restaurants in the same shopping center. Overall the room was spacious and clean with great AC. I do have 4 stars for the room because we found some discarded fake nails stuck behind the toilet paper roll dispenser, but I understand how that could be missed by housekeeping (it was an unopened extra TP roll..."

Real reviews from guests
"Had a great stay at the Courtyard Marriott—huge thanks to Michael for going out of his way to help with the booking. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed, and the staff was friendly and accommodating the whole time. Great location, smooth check-in, and just an all-around solid experience. Will definitely be back!"
"Staff was universally very kindly to us. Room was in great condition. Loved the balcony and 4th floor views of the hills. Soaking in the bathtub with Marin water is so much softer than the super hard water in San Jose where we live. Avocado Toast and Egg Sandwich breakfast was delicious! Everything was good. My wife and I are very likely to come back again. You're only a 90 minute drive from home, but feels like worlds away from..."
"This is an older hotel, but it has been updated and it is clean. The rooms are sort of dark because lighting in the rooms is poor. Hotel staff was very nice. The gym was good and a bit larger than the average hotel gym which was nice. But they were missing several weights. Overall a decent place to stay."
"This is the nicest and most convenient motel when visiting Sonoma Raceway. Had breakfast in the cafe, really good food and service. Also had wine for their happy hour. Will definitely stay there again. Can't go wrong with this one."
"Over all the stay was okay. The room was nice but the fixtures are dirty, the living room ac is loud and there was random people walking near the bed room window all night. It is behind a safe way store."
"We needed a conference room and this one was perfect! Scott went above and beyond for us. He was professional and extremely helpful in getting us setup. The room was clean, comfortable, well equipped. The acoustics are great so a meeting or presentation here can be given without a microphone. Thank you Scott!"
"I always choose this hotel when I'm visiting family around here. Rooms are really spotless and comfy. The staff is super nice. The hotel is right next to everything you'll need while you're in the area. The only downside is you have to pay $10 for parking, but I think it's totally worth it."
