It was not very well cleaned, and amenities were the bare minimum (one small rag in the kitchen, no paper towels, had to search for extra tp, no hand towels for bathrooms, carpets grubby).

Marriott Vacation Club®, San Francisco

10/10 Excellent
"Great location near fisherman’s wharf. We got there earlier than check in so they took care of our bags while we explored the city. Room was clean and comfortable. No kitchen/breakfast on site but the water station with lots of flavors was a nice touch. The kids enjoyed the sorbet tasting on Tuesday afternoon. The valet let us park our rented e-bikes in the garage since he said not to leave them unattended even locked in the neighborhood. We enjoyed this hotel and we would definitely stay here again."
