It was a good stay. They kept having issues with their computer systems. Ironically, they are located in the heart of Silicon Valley. This property was quite understaffed as well. Parking needs to be more resonable and they need to provide EV chargers.

The property was clean and the staff were lovely. The rooms were fine, but needed updating. Our bathroom mirror was broken. The bathroom was fine but definitely dated. There was no fan in the bathroom which made it difficult to defog the mirror. With that being said, the beds and pillows were amazingly comfortable.

While the staff were kind and attentive, the room was dated and hot. The entire stay the air would not work properly and the amenities were old. Also the size of the room was very tight. Nice hotel but it needs some attention.

This is the only place I will ever stay at if I want to be close to the airport. I’ve stayed in all the other airport hotels…awful. This one is much more quiet, clean, and convenient in the morning to get something to eat and drink. It’s also much happier in the lobby

We chose this location since it was close to the wedding event we were joining. The hotel is in a tranquil location and it was relaxing to stay there. I wish there was shuttle to the train station( Caltrain), cafes, restaurants nearby
