I've spend 10 nights in the new branded Aloft hotel, formerly "W Silicon Valley" .... Rooms are pretty much the same, but the nice couch and nice furniture were gone ... all the nice Bliss soap and shampoo gone as well.... Instead of the nice small bottles, you will find a dispenser in the shower .... When I was there,... More

I like this hotel, the rooms are spacious, clean and welcoming. The bar has friendly and prompt service. All the Staff are professional and courteous. The beds are very comfortable. The achilles heel is the lack of a restaurant - there is bar food but i was there for over a week and it does not offer the variation for... More

This Starwood property began life as a W built primarily for Sun Microsystems traveling employees, but soon became orphaned and forced to survive on it's own as Sun's eventual decline vastly reduced the number of guests. As a W, it was always good and occasionally great - but for those Starwood regulars used to a full on W experience, some... More

Was worried when I booked this hotel, comments I read made this property appear questionable and Dumbarton bridge traffic for an early meeting is always potential for a missed meeting. Happy to say, both the hotel and the bridge worked out great. The good: Had a large corner room, more like a suite, with fridge, sink and microwave in the... More

I've stayed in this Hotel a few times before. This was when it was the W. It's now changed to the Aloft. While it has had a bit of a renovation ( a bit brighter than the previous decor) nothing really has changed. The two plus points for me would be the Bed ( I love the Bed & I... More

This Starwood hotel was a W until recently changed into their new Aloft brand. It's been slightly remodeled with a juvenile decor trying to attract 20-somethings. The rooms are identical to the W with a different colored bench and couch, kitchenette and comfy bed, nice bathroom (very small shower but decent sized tub). However, at the W you can expect... More

Thank you for taking the time to write a review about your recent stay. Aloft is a select service brand that celebrates the individual and gives you freedom to control and customize your travel adventure to fit your personal style. Although different from the W’s full service amenities, the customer service you receive at Aloft should be comparable. We apologize... More
