“Don't expect to get on the Net”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 December 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I traveled to San Jose on Business and at the suggestion of many of my co-workers decided to stay at the Residence Inn. When I got here I immediately tried to hook up my computer and iPad to the Internet. The first day I arrived I was unable to detect a wireless network on my phone or iPad, so I had to use the wired connection at the desk. I hooked up just fine, but everything seemed slow, when I ran speedtest.net I found that I was getting 0.5mbs speed on the wire. I didn't worry about it that night. Over the next few days working with the front desk and their tech support I found out that Marriot deliberately limits their guests to this speed, I'm assuming for monetary reasons.

As a hotel in Silicon Valley, the heart of the information age, I was quite surprised to find this limitation, and I would not recommend this hotel to my Net savvy friends and co-workers.

“Terrific Breakfast and Evening Reception”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 April 2010
1
person found this review helpful

I’ve stayed at this Residence Inn many times over the years. The rooms are pretty much standard issue Residence Inn…spacious, reasonably updated, and comfortable. For me this particular Residence Inn sets itself apart with the service at the morning breakfast. I wish I knew her name but the woman that helps set up and the breakfast is a delight. She is warm and always helpful and is especially talented at remember special requests. During my most recent visit I was very impressed that she remembered me and welcomed me back to the hotel. This was especially impressive since I hadn’t been the hotel in 1.5 years. Additionally, while not gourmet, the breakfast itself surpasses most of the Residence Inns I visit. Of course it also helps that the breakfast is free. I also commend this property for the evening reception. The food offered typically includes all that’s needed for a complete meal and again the variety and quality surpasses most evening meals offered at the other Residence Inns I visit. I can only think of two minor gripes…the super low flow bathroom faucets are annoying and the hot water took forever to reach my bathroom sink. Also, I did not have a receipt/bill delivered to my room on my final day. I hate having to go to the front desk to get the receipt for my records. All in all I’m consistently pleased with this hotel. I hope the management passes on my praise for the lovely woman that puts together the breakfast.

“Friendly, clean, quiet, free wine and beer, free breakfast and dinner and accomodating”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2009

Excellent staff.... friendly and helpful without exception. Quiet to the degree possible.. Wonderful courtyard with pool and places to relax. Best free breakfast I have seen with wonderful serving staff. Excellent supper with excellent staff. Free beer and wine in evenings. Fresh coffee 24 hours a day. Clean grounds around. Great access to shopping across the street. Beautiful tree-line streets in the area. Clean and as safe as possible parking lot. I stayed there for three months, and have absolutely no complaints. Clean and trouble-free laundry area. Helpful staff at front desk. Shuttle to local area. Exercise area which I never got around to using. Seems to attract decent and friendly business people mainly with sufficient tourists to make it interesting.

This hotel was fine for business travel. The rooms are a little dated but comfortable.
