Because I was bidding for a same night stay, I didn't mind added zones and then going down in star rank. Though I do think that if I were aiming for 3* in Airport SFO zone, I probably could have gotten away with paying a little bit less.

The stay was great in terms of the room. The room had a view of the water and the planes taking off and landing (no noise!). The service at night, however, was terrible. At check-in, the woman asked for my name, started clicking away, asked for a credit card for incidentals, clicked away some more and then handed me a key and nearly walked away. Didn't ask what size bed I wanted, didn't ask if I wanted smoking/non-smoking, didn't tell me when check-out was, didn't even tell me my room number! My friend walked up to the bar to ask the bartender a question and before he even spoke, the bartender cut him off and said, "We're closed".

Keep in mind this is one of the only hotels south of SFO that charges $17/day (no in and out priviledges) or $1/hr for parking. I parked across the street, just regular street parking and it was actually closer than walking from the back end of the Marriott parking lot.
