This is a very clean and convenient property. We were visiting friends in Los Altos. It was easy to get up every morning and run/walk down Los Altos Avenue to the village (1.5 miles) for coffee and treats. As a female running alone in daylight, I was safe and there were other people out walking or running. During the school year, mornings would be even busier with the elementary and junior high schools on this route. It is also very easy to get into the property from El Camino Real, and park below in the garage. Easily able to get a parking space close to an elevator. The restaurant and bar were hopping every evening, and the outdoor seating area for the bar by the pool was great. The fitness room has good free weights, treadmills and they work! Staff is very nice, warm, friendly. We missed the happy hours but it looked like they had popcorn and were busy. The first evening we arrived, they had an outdoor trivia night which was well attended. Our room looked like it had been recently remodeled. Good bed, comfy sofa, microwave, small fridge, Keurig in the room. You could easily walk about a block to a Safeway store, and a little further to get to Trader Joes, Walmart or Target in the vicinity of El Camino and San Antonio if you needed anything. Would definitely stay there again.

Where’s the coffee

Room was nice, elevator was out of commission. No fee parking which was really nice. One drawback. No complementary ☕️coffee☕️ in the lobby. Every hotel I’ve stayed at has had ☕️☕️coffee☕️ service ☕️ in the lobby for its guests. Not here

This is a very nice, quiet, and clean hotel. They seem to be doing some construction or remodeling to the front of the hotel, but signage was helpful. I liked that I was able to park my car safely in the unground garage and easily take the elevator up to my floor. I didn’t get a chance to try the restaurant, but it's very convenient. The room was very clean and smelled nice. Huge TV, several streaming services. I liked that there were plenty of outlets and charging stations in the room. The bed was super comfortable. Large bathroom. I think the best part, for me, was how quiet it was. No traffic noise, no noise from other guests or housekeeping.

Upscale Accommodations for a Value Price!

The first thing I noticed was how spotlessly clean the room was, then I enjoyed the best shower ever in that upscale new walk-in shower, then I slept in a cloud-soft bed. The breakfast menu was a special treat; very nice!

It took too long to have hot water. I would turn on the hot water and then have to brush my teeth and hair before it was even slightly warm. Also, the lobby is under construction, so there was noise in the front of the hotel, which lent to a very less than satisfactory atmosphere. The one really nice thing was that they offered pizza and popcorn at 5 PM for the customers.
