Is this a strong Marriott Bonvoy redemption?
Residence Inn Salem generally provides below-baseline Marriott Bonvoy redemption value based on estimated benchmarks.
The property's strong availability and modest cash rates mean points are typically less valuable here compared to higher-demand Marriott redemptions.
Extended-stay amenities and the absence of resort fees can still make this a practical choice for longer San José visits.
