“Pleasanton Marriott - Top Notch for the Leisure and Business Traveler”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 December 2011

I was stunned to read some of the recent reviews of this hotel. I have stayed there on one occasion and found my stay to be a most comfortable experience. My husband travels from Texas to California on a weekly basis for business and this is his hotel of choice. From the moment he arrives, he is always greeted with a warm reception. He receives transport to his office in Dublin from the hotel daily. Additionally, he eats every night in the restaurant bar and appreciates that when he is walking in from a long day at the office the bartender pours him his usual glass of red wine and asks if he'll be eating his usual Cobb Salad or would he like to order something different. He sits in the restaurant nightly and continues to work on his computer for another couple of hours. I have found my own stay there to be very comfortable and will be travelling back there in January with our college age children. I would highly recommend this hotel for pleasure as well as for business.

Room Tip: The 6th floor is very nice and facing the hill is quiet.

“A first class dump!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

Noise, paper thin walls and flashing lights are all you need to know about this dump. Laying in bed you can hear the adjoining rooms using the toilets (and not just the flushing), taking showers, coughing, sneezing, talking and what have you. Startling because it sounds like they are in the same room! Also, if your room faces the freeway, you can hear the freeway traffic. Finally, the rooms are equipped with smoke detectors that have a green strobe light that flashes every twenty seconds or so – the flashing is very intrusive. Marriott ought to be ashamed of this property. Yes, a real dump.

“A business class Marriott”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2011

As a Marriott elite, I was upgraded to a Concierge room (there are two floors of them). The Concierge lounge was pretty good with hot items (eggs, bacon) as well as the standard continental fare for breakfast and at least one hot item in the evening hors dourves selection.

The room was a standard Marriott (which is a decent standard). The bed was comfortable, but creaked a bit. There was a small fridge hidden in the TV cabinet (I didn't find it until the last day!). The TV itself was a flat screen but only has a modest selection of channels and none of the channels were hi-def (thumbs down). The "premium" (their words, not mine) wireless internet was OK at 5AM but slowed to a crawl mid-morning and evenings. This could be a deal breaker for business travelers.

This hotel is following the recent Marriott policy of being chintzy with newspapers. There are supposed to be papers available at the front desk, but on one morning, they had exhausted their supply by 6AM(!). This is in sharp contrast to any Hilton brand where a paper will always be delivered to your door.

I tried the restaurant for a light evening meal and found it perfectly OK. The staff was uniformly friendly.

I would recommend the hotel if you get it at a good price. Bring your AirCard, though!

Whether traveling for business or pleasure, we try to provide all our guests with a good experience. The food on the Concierge floors are a highlight for many of our guests, we are glad you enjoyed it. Although we do apologize for the shortage of newspapers, we thank you for bringing it to our attention so we may ensure that does not happen for future guests. Your review is appreciated and we hope you will visit us at the Marriott Pleasanton again.

“Perfect!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2011

We arrived early Saturday 8/20 and they already had our room available. Our room was really nice! It didn't have a refrigerator that was the only negative. It wasn't a very large room, but it was perfect! Super comfy bed with a nice down comforter and a nice cover, if you love them Marriott sells just about everything in your room from a catalog.
We hung out by the pool, and its gorgeous. Very nice loungers with comfy toppers on all, with a nice headrest feature. Plenty of tables and chairs with umbrellas to enjoy. At night they turn on the fire pits so you can have a nice enjoyable evening. They also offer bar/food service at the pool. The pool was way to cold to get into, but the spa was nice.
They noise level was low in our room, it was nice and quiet! Some freeway noise but nothing to bring earplugs for.
When we booked we got the breakfast buffet included in our rate. Otherwise is was 18$ pp. Not worth it! Eggs, omelet station,french toast, sausage, bacon and fruit.
There is a nice bar on site that closes at 11, and the restaurant stays open thru dinner.
Everyone was friendly. Free newspapers at front desk and a computer with a printer for your use. I also so by the ice machine room a coin washer / dryer. Nice gym on bottom floor!
