“Nice Change of Pace”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

I've been staying at the Wild Palms on business twice per year for 4-5 years. Its a refreshing change from the typical chain property. Pros - very quiet and private, good work area, breakfast selection, nice pool, gardening around courtyard and pool - very relaxing. Cons - very poor exercise facility; wireless network a bit slow. Things to consider that some people may not like - not really a hotel, two stories, rooms roughly arranged in a square around a courtyard, entrances inside key accessed gates to the property. To the best of my knowledge there is no elevator for those disinclined to walk-up one flight of steps if you have a room on the second floor.

“Definately not a three star”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

This hotel is more like a motor inn than a hotel. The bed was worn out. The entrances dark, did not feel very safe. Did not care for the exterior entrances. It can be cold on winter mornings, so the the long walk to breakfast was not what I prefer. The rooms looked very cheesy. The hotel is trying to be nice, but doesn't seem to be able to make it work.
The carpet was very worn and wallpaper in poor condition.
The price was very good, but if you can afford to stay somewhere else - I would!

“Funky and Fun”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

I stay at the Wild Palms frequently for business. Love the fun decor and the breakfast is wonderful. They even do an Asian breakfast with rice in the rice cooker and all the goodies. And homemade salsa, eggs...everything! You can't beat the whole experience for the price.

“Beautiful hote with excellent staff and service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 December 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Just when you have given up on humanity and good service, an experience like last night's changes your view. Last night, we checked into the tropically landscaped Wild Palms Hotel in Sunnyvale. We were very pleased with our room and the grounds. Clean, nicely decorated modern rooms (not blase like most hotel rooms) were a plus in addition to the lovely landscaped grounds decorated with artistic tile work and ceramics throughout. We ate at the nearby Fish Market (great restaurant) and then hot tubbed at the hotel. After sleeping for three plus hours, we were awakened rudely by some unruly guests who obviously were inebriated and louder than all get all, playing music loudly, banging doors, yelling in the hallway. I called the lobby and the clerk tried his best to contact them. He was working alone so it really was risky for him to confront them. Instead he moved us to a nicer room and made several trips to help us carry Christmas gifts, etc. He was very apologetic. We were satisfied with the outcome. However, the hotel staff continued to be very accommodating and apologetic. They further reduced our already discounted rate and surprised us with a Christmas gift for our daughter wrapped wonderfully and a bottle of wine with wine glasses for my husband and I. They also wrote a lengthy letter letting us know that they strive for the very best for their guests (and they obviously do) and that they were very sorry for the unruly guests whom are not the norm for their hotel. I also witnessed their staff be very kind and helpful to people in the breakfast room (which by the way is very nice with red tile and french windows). The hotel is also within walking distance of many great restaurants and shopping areas. It is quiet with no street noise. The clientele are mostly families and professionals--our neighbors were way outside the average person we saw there during our stay. Great hotel with fast WiFi and nice televisions..I could go on and on. If you need a place to stay in the South Bay and want to support smaller hotel chains that also strive to have a smaller eco-footprint but also want to have superior service, then stay at the Wild Palms.

Room Tip: Ask for an upstairs room that faces the parking lot or pool area.
