marriott santa clara, ca
 

I'm staying here for a weekend to see a 49er. Does anyone know how easy it is to get to Levi Stadium from the hotel? I hope I can avoid parking my car at the stadium lots.

It is reasonably close. My office is just by the Marriott, and I can see Levi Stadium from my office window. It's around a mile and a half from the Marriott to the stadium. Just up Great America then onto Tasman.

There have upgraded suites accessible via the stairs to the right of the reservation desk.

But like they say, when everyone is elite then nobody is elite. So they had the tower with the CL as the elite tower and the other tower plus the courtyard as the non-elite. That may have changed, I haven't been there in a couple of years but used to stay there weekly for about 2 years.

Say what?! They never offered me one of those in 18 mos of staying there (even on weekends when they're not-so-full). :(

This is why I have booked my September weekend stays (using points no less) at the Hilton Santa Clara. Basically right next to Levi's Stadium.

Marriott would be my second choice.

Whichever one I stayed at though, I would be sure to dine at Parcel 104 (Marriott). One of my favorites in the area.

Has anyone had breakfast on the weekends in the lounge? Is it decent? Have some certs to burn and I'm debating on if I should use them at the RI across the highway.

Weekend breakfast is fine. Breakfast is served downstairs in the sports bar because the lounge is too small. Bacon, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, juice, yogurt, fruit...the usual lounge offerings. Better than the powdered eggs and sausage pucks at the RI, but no rice (local RIs seem to have a rice and furikake option--I'm a fan).

From my experience, breakfast on the weekend is served in the lounge. During the week, it is served in the sports bar. On the weekends, they usually don't have a meat. They'll have eggs but no bacon or sausage.

lex & DL-D, do you have dates on your weekend stays so I can update the exec lounge sticky? Thx!

Cheers.
