SpringHill Suites by Marriott San Jose Fremont — Hotel in Fremont

We stayed in room 335 from Aug 16 to Aug 22nd. Our window faced the swimming pool. It was a workcation for me with the family. Probably will not be staying here again.

Pro: Spacious rooms with king size beds Comfy Beds and pillows Seating area with sofa that turns into beds Great desk for working lots of charging ports

Cons: Bathroom layout weird Soundproofing between floors is not there. Not for light sleepers. Breakfast could be better

We usually stay at the Marriott across the street but decided to switch it up this year and try this place since there was breakfast included and I liked the desk from the pictures. While the room is big, the layout was not thought through. Lots of wasted space in the bathroom.

Bathroom door is a sliding door with frosted glass and right in front of beds so if anyone goes use bathroom at night the light blast into the room. The toilet could've been separated and have its own door, they had space for it. The sink, only one small mini sink and this sink had no drainage hole. If anyone plugged the sink it's a flood waiting to happen. Again they had the room to put in 2 sinks not sure why it wasn't done.

Desk, good desk. I liked that I could open up the glass divide but again it faces the beds even with frosted glass to separate the table light still shines through.

Swimming pool - Not bad and during the afternoon it gets shaded by the building which is a plus. I liked that our room faced the pool so I could see the kids play out the window.

Breakfast - Could be better. Cups of quiche like eggs, boiled eggs and then some breakfast sandwiches. There was cereal, bagels, and toast as well. Felt like it was the bare minimum for breakfast.

WIFI - No issues here. I could get enhanced WiFi but I went with the free and had no issues.

Housekeeping / Staff - Overall good experience and friendly. Accommodated our housekeeping requests. You must request housekeeping 24hrs in advance. We requested the day before but there was miscommunication but they were able to do housekeeping for us the day we needed.

Noise - First couple of days was fine but then there was a family that checked in above us and we could hear all the stomping and running. During day is okay but this was midnight. Thankfully we only had to deal with it...

Everyone was very helpful. My husband completed check-in before I finished gathering dinner trash from the car. Kudos to the impressive speed!

The room was not prepped with bedding for the advertised beds. We were quickly helped, but it's hard to do bedtime rapidly when there are no sheets and blankets!

We stayed in the family room, but the design team failed miserably. The toilet, shower, and sink are all in one room. It is so helpful when the sink is separate from the toilet. Most hotels have moved to this design, and it really helps. There wasn't even a mirror outside the bathroom. This design flaw really slowed us down! Further, the bathroom has a frosted door. No one can sleep during evening showers, and when the first morning shower starts, the bright light wakes everyone! Someone on the design team at some point should have thought about these implications when designing this new hotel!

It would be helpful to have some signage with directions to close the blackout shade. The automatic stuff we figured out in the morning is pretty neat but not very user-friendly, and they are impossible to close completely without figuring out what the buttons are for since there is no rod.

Breakfast is pretty meager. The kids were bummed that there wasn't a waffle or pancake option.

No smells. Hotel appears very new. Iffy cleanliness- there was trash left on the pull out bed (it seemed no one checked it) and crumbs in...

Arrr, ye be warned, mateys—this Springhill Suites in Fremont, California be naught but a cursed ship on the seas of disappointment! Me stay there was as grim as a voyage through the Devil’s Triangle.

First off, their so-called wireless internet be nothin’ but a mirage. For the entire length of me stay, there was no signal to be found, like a ship adrift without a sail. No messages, no charts, no nothin’! A landlubber like meself relies on such things, yet they left me stranded in the digital doldrums.

Now, as for the room—ye might as well be talkin’ about a derelict wreck. Housekeeping? Ha! They never showed their scurvy faces the whole time I was aboard. The trash, she piled up higher than the crow’s nest, and towels? Vanished like treasure in a mutiny! I was left to swab me own decks like a common cabin boy.

But here’s the kicker, mates—breakfast, they say, be served at 6 bells sharp. Yet when I dragged me weary bones down to the galley, what do I find? Naught but the crew slowly layin’ out the grub like they’ve got all the time in the seven seas! If ye say breakfast starts at 6, it best be ready at 6—not still bein’ assembled while me belly’s growlin’ like a kraken!

In conclusion, Springhill Suites in Fremont be a port best avoided. No internet, no housekeeping, and a breakfast that moves slower than a barnacle-covered ship in a dead calm. Take heed, fellow travelers—ye deserve better than this sorry excuse...
