Booked this place because of all the raving reviews here, and i have no regrets. The place is really trendy & fresh. The rooms have the same look & feel. It's not really spacious but just big enough for two. One thing that stood out here was the bed mattress, it's some kind of foam that takes on your body... more

This hotel, like some others in the JDV chain, is a renovated motel. The rooms are very well done, and once you're inside them, you don't feel like you're in a 1980's Best Western. However, there's only so much they can do to the outside - which is very motel like, complete with an attached IHOP. My room was immaculate,... more

My favorite part of the Best Western Avatar was the decor - I only WISH my own home looked that way! The room was spotless, tasteful, and comfortable. The setup was perfect for laptop use - the wireless was easy to connect to and you didnt need to hassle with a special code from the front desk. Everything from the... more

I was pleasantly surprised when I checked into the newly renovated Avatar Hotel in Santa Clara. The front desk staff was extremely courteous, explained all the neat amenities the hotel offered (including massage chairs in the large living/business area!); even offers beer and wine by the bottle at almost no markup (what a really nice surprise) to take to your... more

Our stay started with Teddy picking us up from the airport. The new van was just the beginning of our pleasureable visit. We were greeted at the front desk like friends with the staff ready to accomodate our every need. The rooms were beautiful and CLEAN!!! The beds very comfortable with new linens! The new recreation room was wonderful to... more

I have stayed in this hotel four the past four years. The changes were beautiful. The staff was polite and could not have been more accommodating. The rooms were immaculate with heavenly beds. Everyone conveyed the impression that our comfort was their top concern. I have already made reservations for my stay there next year. more

This is a very clean and comfortable hotel with rooms that face out onto a central swimming pool. The rooms have a modern decor and are equipped with high quality furnishings. The only thing I would watch out for is that they play music by the pool until 10 pm (can be quite loud) and there were very bright lights... more

I had booked this hotel as a one night stop over on our way from LA to San Francisco. We were both really impressed with this hotel from our first step into the reception area. We were greeted by a very pleasant lady who checked us in really quickly. The room was spot on, extremely clean and the decor and... more

I was traveling with my young son and we were looking for a place near Great America. There were quite a few places to choose from but when I saw Joie de Vivre had a hotel nearby it was a no-brainer since I had stayed with them before in San Francisco. The Avatar hotel and the grounds were super clean.... more
