Business Hotels in Fremont

Please excuse this very long review. My family and I traveled to CA for my daughter to train at a few local badminton clubs. We had booked an AIRBNB in Newark CA after reading several reviews and doing my research. We landed at SFO after our flight from Boston, we were too early to check into our Airbnb. We decided to walk around Pier 39 near Ghirardelli square, a bustling area and in broad daylight. We parked at a meter for an hour, came back to a smashed car window and lots of our belongings gone. After filling out a police report, and exchanging the car for one with four windows, we attempted to check into our Airbnb. We arrived to find a complete dump, filthy dirty and the smell, I can't describe, never mind the used soap bars from the previous occupants. We called around to hotels that could accommodate us for 10 nights. We ended up at this Courtyard and we couldn't have been happier. The front desk, cleaning crew, management, the entire staff was helpful, friendly, competent and went out of their way for us. The place had laundry which was very convenient. Everything was clean from top to bottom, the beds were very comfortable and the rooms very spacious. There is a Target in the parking lot several minutes away so that made replacing necessary items very convenient. We felt very safe and it was convenient to jump on the highway from the hotel. I wish I could mention them all by name but Bryan was who we were introduced to for the initial reservation.

Had some free night rewards to use and no plans for Memorial Weekend. Wanted to get away with some friends for a night, but not too far because gas and because lots of other things to get done during the weekend. But wanted my daughter to have some fun with her pal before they parted ways for the summer. Since the weather was pretty windy and cool out, looked for a place with an indoor pool. Fremont Marriott fit the bill! It’s located in a very business park area, with several other business hotels in the vicinity. Short drive to a wide variety of places to eat. We were thrilled to have so many good food choices within a 5-10 minute drive. FYI, you’ll need a car here. Staff were AWESOME at this hotel. They already had adjoining rooms set up for us, accommodated a change from king to double, and were able to check us in early! It happened to be the anniversary for the couple I was traveling with, and staff gave them some snack vouchers which was perfect because they had three kids along for the stay. Room was really nice and clean! All updated so it felt fresh. Comfortable bed, plus a nice desk area for working. Plentiful outlets and USB charge spots. Tub/shower had a handheld plus overhead shower head. Toiletries smelled like lemon Pledge though, so bring your own. AC was easy to adjust. Indoor pool was a little smaller than we expected, but was still perfect. Water was not too cold and there was a hot tub too. Towels were not restocked, and there aren’t many chaise lounges, but we managed. Lobby is nice and spacious. There are several business workstations for printing in the lobby. Fitness gym looked pretty good too. Parking was free but the lot was busier than I expected. There’s also a garage behind the building. Overall, we had a great time and enjoyed our stay. I’d recommend this place for business or family trips, provided you have a car.

Generally, really average, because the location is better, so the hotel is not cost-effective, you have to carry your luggage upstairs, the room is the farthest. Hotel breakfast is very simple.

I guess I am To the point of no return….. In the last 3 months I have stayed at just about most popular and advertised hotels and this hotel hit the spot. The front desk clerk was very open and shared her gratitude about working with such a tight group of employees that support each other, and also that salaries are at the industry level. Not only the place was clean, and presentable, I did notice most of the employees content with their duties. Perhaps when a company chain understands that happy employees means good business and profits, the current COVID situation that had thrown a wrench to our economy…..more and more bad managed companies are going to die and those that understand the true value of less profits for a longevity of their investments by paying living salaries to those that keep clients coming back
