My wife and I recently stayed at the Newark/Fremont Marriot for the third time. It's been pretty much the sameeach time. The rooms are big enough though not spacious. The bathrooms while small have been clean. The toiletries while not high end are good quality. On each visit the hotel staff that we have interacted with have always been friendly and helpful. the hotel does provide free WiFi service which is certainly a bonus , particualrly at the price we paid through a bid on Priceline.

On this visit we were placed in a 3rd floor room facing Stevenson Blvd. I was worried about possible road noise, but that wasn't a problem. More later about noise problems. The room itself as well as the bathroom was clean and in good condition. The balcony was very dirty. It appeared that it hadn't been cleaned...ever. Which brings me to the common areas. The hall carpeting was worn and dirty as was the stairwell. You might think who uses the stairs. Well when the ice machine on your floor is broke, the elevator's permit expired 6 months before, and the elevator itself makes "interesting" sounds, you tend to use the stairs more than you typically would.

The rooms come with two phones, but as my wife found out on our second night when she tried to call the front desk, only one worked and marginally at that. The reason for the call was our next door neighbor who seemed to see no problem with playing the radio past midnight. After our attempts at letting him knwo that we didn't appreciate it failed, my wife called the front desk. Less than 15 minutes later the hotel had someone at his door, and the noise was brought to an end. An example of the good staff at this worn hotel.

One final interesting note was the doors to the rooms themselves. I do not believe that I have ever experienced slower closing doors. From a fully opened position to closed took a total of 30 seconds. If that doesn't sound like a lot of time, go to a door in your house and close it slowly. I mean molasses slow, and I bet it takes less than 30 seconds. Of course, this prevents slamming doors, which is a very good thing at a hotel. The cylinder - on our door anyway - probably just needed a littel adjusting to limit that slwo movement to the last few inches.

Very plain hotel with nothing fantastic. Very close to many Silicon Valley companies and easy access to I-880. Rooms are a bit small, and the walls are paper thin. Housekeeping starts VERY early in the morning - I was up at 6:30am and already heard vacuums in the hallway and in surrounding rooms. The amenities had been upgraded to Marriott's newest line-up, but the bathroom decor was very dated. Room was clean, but it was plain that this was an older property. Price was good, given the high occupancy I noticed during my stay. I would try another hotel if I had to go back to the area just to see if something better was out there.

Stayed here for 1 night in June to see an A's game. Not sure why the rate was so low ($93 on the Marriott website) but the hotel was up to the usual Marriott standards. I had advised the hotel of our early arrival (11am) however the woman at the front desk told us the room wasn't ready when we arrived. At first I expected the usual "we can't guaranty the room will be early" story, however I was happily surprised when she told us she would upgrade us to the Club Floor where a room was ready, which also entitled us to complimentary breakfast and afternoon drinks and hors d'oevres.
Overall, a very positive experience and I would definitely return if in the area again.

This was a great hotel for a business traveler and although it does not have wireless access in the rooms it does have ethernet accessed internet for a fee. Other than that, it is a newer Marriott with all the normally expected features.

There was minor construction on the concierge level, thus you might want to inquire when you check in.
