Our family had the BEST vacation we have EVER had! I used one of the best websites ever. It is called airfarewatchdog.com. They gather ALL search engines in one place. I receive a daily update on airfare prices. I happened to find a great flight out of Phoenix. The search engine with the best price was Travelocity. I then combined it with the hotel and they gave us a rate of $1800.00. This included 4 roundtrip tickets and with 2 rooms at this Marriott. We stayed for 5 nights. The rooms were quite large and our kids had an adjoining room. Marriott is always my first choice. This one hotel was the cream of the crop in terms of service, cleanliness and hospitality. We did have one night where a room near us was having a bachelorette party. Needless to say, the were LOUD. We complained and someone quickly warned them. They toned it down for about 5 minutes and revved it up again. We called again. Management came and pulled 16 people out of the room. Unfortunately, the few that remained managed to be loud again. We called again and all people were removed. Security and management were both involved. Our room was compt and the manager personally apologized. They were quite embarrassed and very apologetic. We were very satisfied even though we had lost a couple of hours of sleep due to this problem.
Regardless, the room was clean with VERY comfortable beds. Those are my two priorities. Everyone we came in contact with was so kind and friendly. There's a Starbuck there, a nice restaurant and concierge desk that was helpful and friendly. They gave us great advise on places. It was also helpful to have a car rental place (Hertz) on site. We rented a car whenever we left San Francisco and it was cheaper to rent only when we needed one (daily) than parking the car. Great advise given by a hotel employee.
The location of the hotel is also ideal. We were about 1 block away from a location where we could catch a street car. A Walgreen's close by, which helps when you forget as many things as we did. And of course, your in the middle of a shopping mecca.
Honestly, I did not want to leave. This is the first time I really felt comfortable in a hotel. I can't wait to go back and I hope anyone else who stays there has the same wonderful experience we had with the exception of the bachelorette party.
