No WiFi and no buffet breakfast like advertised
Very nice hotel room with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Many choices for dining and coffee nearby.
The bed was horribly hard and very uncomfortable.
Pleasant

The bedroom is Ok, it was big and clean. The breakfast was very complete.
At the front desk one lady received us and she was not nice.
Assad in the front desk was helpful and friendly.Breakfast was good
Shower water spills outside the shower
Good value for Mountain View. Staff were friendly.
Elevator was broken the whole time I was there. Room was facing El Camino Real, so a bit noisy.
Nothing, they are a den of thieves
I can't get a taxable invoice for a business trip. They say go to booking.com to get it, booking.com says to get receipt at property! Way too much of hassle for business travel, then I have to eat the cost!!!

This was a nice stay. We came for a concert so we were only there for one night. The room was very clean. T.
I would say the only negative was the small parking lot. A hotel employee said that most people do not drive there, but that seems odd to me as many people stay in places for road trips. Also, being close to Shoreline Theater, I would think that people drive to town for concerts/events. I did not notice that parking was not guaranteed when I booked the room. So perhaps you could make sure that information is prominently displayed for potential guests. Thank you
The hotel staff is very nice.
The first thing I want to start with is the terrible parking. The dividing lines are drawn chaotically. It is almost impossible to park a car in the evening! On the second day no one cleaned our room. There was an unpleasant smell in the room.
The front desk staff was superb!! Although they didn't offer the exceptional bus service, they only referred to Uber or Lyft and a very good breakfast and staff who assisted there too . Mattress was comfortable
No pool! Or hot tub! My room felt like it was designed for a male.

Clean. Breakfast was good and hot. Yummy biscuits and gravy. Coffee was bitter
Was not able to sleep due to a noise which sounded like crickets. Kept me up all night. Then about 5:30 am it stopped.
The breakfast was adequate. The location was very good. It had a little bit of a funky smell. At first I thought the parking was a little tight, but it turned out fine. The iron didn't work, but they promply brought up another one. The coffe maker didn't work. The bed was extremely comfortable. All in all, it was a fine place, and I would stay there again.
Location was good. Comfortable and clean.
The shower curtain wasn’t sufficient to hold the water in. The floor was always soaking wet after a shower.
