This hotel’s location may leave something to be desired by the normal W patrons who need a buzzing city to go along with their purple hues and green apples. But as far as quality hotels in the bay area go, this one is among the top. The rooms are lovely large suites and the amenities match any other W out there. The pool is heated and nice, the living room suite furniture is comfortable (and baby friendly I might add!) Also, the wait staff was friendly and nice, help us with our bags and no delay.

One not-so-nice item are the prices of misc items. $15 for a continental breakfast that included cereal and some crap muffins? Seriously? Please. I purchased a 1L Fiji water and it was $7. Are you kidding $7!!!!!! That’s insane. I wouldn’t have been so pissed but the same 1L bottle in the room was only $3 (which I purchased and drank my first night there). They didn’t replace it and I needed another water at breakfast, so I grabbed this one and felt severely ripped off.

What is it about Starwood luxury properties that makes Starwood corporate leaders think that their patrons want to be nickel and dimed to death? Is it all the business travelers who don’t care and just expense small items like water, internet, and cereal? At some point even they will revolt, and the start of this revolution might be $7 water!

I Love the W Hotel in Newark! It’s a wonderful property. The Beds are extremely comfortable. Most importantly, the staff at the hotel is warm and personable. The gentleman that checked me in was extremely friendly and explained the service of the hotel thoroughly. And Ross Fatemi, in the Catering office, is simply the BEST! I have worked with him in the past and he is extremely friendly and professional. He made my event run smoothly and was willing to do whatever it took to make us happy and feel at home. He even accommodated my last minute reservation request and made sure I was in a beautiful suite. He surprised me by sending chocolate dipped strawberries and champagne! What a lovely treat which made me feel special and cared for. His customer service is exemplary

It's a good hotel, cool the ambiance, nice rooms even if not always perfectly cleaned (sa couple of times I found hairs in the shower...). The food is great, especially the breakfast. Internet coonection could be improved but works. The gym is ok but sometimes the treadmills are busy and you have to wait to get one available. The location is very useful, just across the bridge on the bay and very close to the highway

The W Silicon Valley is a great hotel. Not cosmopolitan like it's sister W's but still the W service you expect. It is a bit out of the way but perfect for my husband and me. We wanted to mix a business trip with some time alone and this hotel fit the bill. We ate at the hotel and food and service was great. It is also close enough to Palo Alto to shop and have a great meal there as well. I'd definitely stay here again!
