Great Stay!
Upon arrival, we were immediately impressed by the friendly and helpful hotel staff. They provided us with some great dining suggestions and valuable tips for attending the concert. Our room was exceptionally clean, with attention to detail evident in the pristine tile grout and baseboards. We would definitely choose this hotel again for future stays.

Pleasantly Surprised - good service
Pleasantly surprised by this hotel. Wanted to stay in usually place near Stanfords campus and found this hotel instead due to cheaper process. Enjoyed the stay more than the usual place! Thank you.

Very very comfortable stay.
Hidden Gem in Silicon Valley. Staff is so friendly and professional. Also, very responsive. I love the rocking chair in the room. There is a microwave and mini fridge in each room, too. The bed and bedding are very comfortable. Plug outlets are plenty.

Stay at another Hyatt.
Extremely thin windows and the loudest AC I've ever heard -- I normally have no problem sleeping in hotels, but I couldn't sleep at all. This is an older building that has been remodeled, but the remodel seems superficial. It's cute, but the ceilings are low, and the window/AC situation made it impossible to be comfortable because of the noise.

We understand how important a good night’s sleep is, and we regret that noise from the AC and windows disrupted your rest.

We genuinely appreciate you giving us a try, and we hope you might consider staying with us again in the future so we can provide a much better experience.
Moderate price, good value.
Good value. They do not nickel and dime you with parking fees, etc. Reception was very helpful and pleasant. Room was extremely clean, pool area larger than many small hotels, convenient location near several main city roads and yet not too close to be noisy.

Great hotel for 49er games
Quiet hotel in a great location. Staff was super friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. We had no issues on our stay, enjoyed this location and staff. Breakfast was not free but was worth the price paid. The avocado toast was amazing

Unquiet Rooms - not a restful place to stay
Noisy rooms, noisy ancient air-conditioners, maintenance issues galore. This is going on my "never again" list purely based on being unable to sleep at night due to the noise. Some issues with management attitude at reception left me with a slightly off-putting start.

Dirty Unsecure Room and Unhelpful Staff
Our room was dirty, had blood spatter on the back of the bathroom door, dirt and dust throughout the room, and even drips on the wooden slats of the blinds. Our door to the room also wasn't secure and didn't close properly. We didn't realize this until our last night when I pushed on the door and it just popped open! anyone could have gotten into our room and taken our things at any point in time. When we told the front desk about this he just smirked and made no attempt to correct these mistakes.

Okay stay...
The towels and sheets were not in good condition. The bed linens were severely soiled and wash towels had holes in them. There was a mildew smell when getting off the elevator. possibly from the old carpet.
