"Everything was awesome! Howard was so awesome to let us check-in 4 hours early. I flew into San Fransisco Thursday afternoon, rented a car and drove to USCG TRACEN Petaluma. I despised every second of that drive getting out of San Fransisco until just before I arrived in Petaluma where I stayed the night. Left Petaluma yesterday morning with my Coastie kid and one of his shipmates and booked a room at the Marriot where online showed to be super close to the airport with consistent 15 minute shuttle service to and from the airport. Dropped his shipmate off at the airport then headed to the Marriot to see when was the earliest we could check in. Since we last minute decided to drive his shipmate to the airport instead of slowly exploring our way back towards the Marriot, I wanted to drop the rental car back off early because i had absolutely no desire to drive around San Fransisco ever again, but wanted a secure place to store my Coastie Kids 4 dufflebags so we could go hop on a train and go explore. I know circumstances can always differ, but they very kindly let us check in 4 hours early at no additional charge at all. Id booked a bayfront view room and we got a bayfront view room. Everything was so pretty, so clean so opening and inviting. Everyone was so helpful and so nice. Shuttle to and from airport was so fast and convenient. Dinner was amazing. My Coastie kid loved the gym. Everything was so nice so easy so perfect 😊 "
