Hotel Review: Courtyard by Marriott in Vacaville, California

Most of my family live in Solano County and my husband and I drive up there as much as we can to visit. We've stayed at the many hotels in the area but Courtyard by Marriott in Vacaville, CA has made a positive impression on us.

The location of the hotel cannot get any better. The hotel is located in between Sacramento and San Francisco. Napa Valley is about half an hour away from it as well. Genentech and Travis Air Force Base is also close-by. The hotel is located right across the street from the Premium Outlet. So for those shopaholics like myself, I'm sure you will have fun. The historic newly opened Nut Tree Family Fun Park is also just down the street from the hotel. Jelly Belly Factory and Six Flags Marine World isn't too far as well.

I recall the first time we stayed at the hotel. The receptionist was very pleasant and checked us in quickly. She gave us information about the hotel. She told us that breakfast is served every morning and that they also have safe deposit boxes for any valuable things. There's also a small store called "The Market" that's open all day for snacks. Coffee in the lobby is available all day as well. There's a pool and spa in the middle of the hotel and there's also an exercise area and on-site landry right by it.

The only negative thing I found out about the hotel is that there's not elevator. You would think that a hotel like this would have an elevator but they don't. Pets aren't allowed either so this hotel isn't a great choice for pet owners.

Our many stays with that hotel has always been positive. There were some noise issues a few times but when we called the front desk, they took care of it right away. It's not the cheapest in the area. The rooms run about $120 per night but they do offer discounts.
