Close to Hospitals-Great Restaurant-Tired Rooms

Good location near hospitals. Restaurant and its personnel were exceptional. Overall, the hotel is tired and needs an update. The driveway entrance is obscured by overgrown trees/foliage and faded tile. It also serves as the garbage pickup and delivery area with a broad service gate left open all the time displaying abundant junk. There are some furnishing updates but significant remnants of dark older items. Wallpaper in room peeling. At the far end of the entrance near the meeting room there is beautiful new decor -- seriously considered expanding this to elevate the property.

Karen, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

We were here for a soccer tournament around the corner and booked this place because reviews were good BUT mainly because it had an indoor pool. Unfortunately, it was not noted on hotels.com NOR did anyone mention it at check-in that the pool was closed for renovations. It wasn't until my 9yr old and I went to go and the woman at the front desk tells us it's closed and waves us the paper they have printed at check-in with a smirk. I live 40 mins from Palo Alto and swimming was the only reason I wasted money to stay in the area. There's plenty of other hotels surrounding the area and could've easily chose one of those had it been noted that the pool was closed. On a side note, it would also be good to coordinate closures with community events to avoid doing this during a huge soccer tournament around the corner.
Jamie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

There was a large system down situation at my check-in, which delayed that a bit. It's the only reason is a 4-star experience, not a 5-star.
Michael, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was a good place to stay. Room was clean and tidy. Checked in online but still had to go to the desk. Parking is underground and there were plenty of spots on Level 2. The pool was disappointing. It’s indoor, cood and quite small. Don’t expect to swim laps. The breakfast buffet was underwhelming for the price. Be sure to bring your breakfast voucher and tell the server you paid in advance.
Michael, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property was nice and staff were great. The indoor heated pool was nice but was way over capacity. People had the back door propped out and it felt like people not staying at the hotel were swimming. There was about 50 people all from one family there making it miserable for my family.
