Stayed for a night, though it was a 3pm arrival / 6am departure between flights so we did get a bit of time in the early evening to explore. As an ambassador I was proactively upgraded to a suite with two rooms, plus bathroom, which was appreciated - the view wasn't much, a highway and some hills, but it made the sleeping arrangements easier. To note that the second room (with sofa bed and TV) was more like a man cave since it had no windows. Any elite benefits were wasted since the hotel restaurant didn't open till 6.30am when we were leaving (seems very late for an airport hotel to open tbh), but the shuttle was helpful and seemed to come around for us fairly regularly without needing to book or pre-arrange, though the hotel also doesn't seem to like to share a schedule - tripadvisor and others had some written down, but I guess really you just chance it.

Best part for me was 1) Across the road from the hotel is a lovely (thin) park and walking trail that has spectacular views of the airport taking off, and you can walk towards the Marriott as well - the Bayfront Park, and then 2) Next door, one block, was a lobster restaurant that I felt was good value, nice vibe, and was far more fun than the hotel to eat at: https://maps.app.goo.gl/SnRJfKcgdfK4DgMo8

I think I could come back again, though between this and the Marriott is probably very little - but to note either I booked before they introduced it, or more likely my corporate rate excluded the amenity fee so I didn't have that rubbish to worry about.
