Aloft by Marriott Santa Clara

Aloft by Marriott Santa Clara

8/10 Good
"Place was perfect for going to the game. Had a room with a king bed, water pressure for the shower was amazing, bed was comfortable, great space in the room and it was very clean and nice. The little bar area was great and the food was fairly good surprisingly. The breakfast wasn’t free but the O.G b- sandwich hit the spot. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Only negative were the (lots) very small ants in the room by the window that went offer my coffee."
