“Helpful staff and good for business trips”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The staff at this hotel does everything to try to please you. The rooms are comfortable, and the breakfast is good. I loved all the different kinds of juices. The business center is a bit small, and it can take some time to wait your turn to print something out. The hotel is an easy 15 minute drive away from downtown Palo Alto, which is a great place to get dinner. I was always able to find a place to park.

“rooms are not wheelchair accessible”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We organised to stay here specifically because the hotel was advertised as wheelchair accessible - false advertising. Only concessions made for accessibility was in the bathroom. Grab railings had been installed and the bath tub had been removed to make a large shower space. When asked for the use of a shower chair the attending staffer at first didn't realise why a person in a wheelchair would need one. The bedroom has no concessions for a wheelchair other than the door is just big enough for some wheelchairs to fit through. The entry hallway is only large enough for the chair to move one way, you cannot turn around. The room was too cramped to get any further than the bathroom before removing a lot of the furniture, and afterwards still resulted in knuckles getting scraped when rolling between the bed and tv counter. The hotel's gimmick for feeding guests' creativity by encouraging them to move around the furniture in their rooms means that all the furniture (except the bed) has wheels on it. Meaning that there is nothing stable to lean on when climbing into the bed - which was about 20 cm higher than the seat of my wheelchair.

“Quality basic hotel with helpful staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

The room was comfortable, clean, attractive, and quiet. Smallish, but it has all the basics. And a few little extras- like a free beer at happy hour. The complimentary breakfast wasn't bad either. The surrounding neighborhood is kind of boring, although there's some good Indian food within walking distance. The staff was uniformly friendly and helpful.

“Lovely hotel, wonderful staff. What a find!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2011

people found this review helpful

don't think there is a single bad thing to say about this hotel. It is conveniently located on El Camino Real, close to Mathilda avenue and plenty of restaurants and shops.
The staff was very helpful, the hallways and lobby's decor was very chic.
Our room was absolutely perfect in every way and the pool area was pleasant.
The room where breakfast is served was a bit on the small side but after spending a really nice night I didn't mind at all. I would definitively stay here again.

“Funky and pleasant surprise”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

In town for business, this was an easy-to-get-to place flying into SJO and has such a homey atmosphere when you walk in. Rooms were nice (although mine smelled a bit old, but to be expected in a refurbished environment) and try to ignore the stucco exterior :) Loved the toy kit and note pads around the room. Great hottub, standard gym, and quiet grounds. Room service coming in late was minimal, so I wasn't able to get food but the included standard continental breakfast took care of that. I even left my hat and the housekeeping saved it for me to retrieve the next day :) All in all, a perfectly fine place to stay and keeps in line with all of my other great JDV experiences.
