Location
Guest Ratings & Reviews
What a fantastic location! Right by the beach and near many restaurants. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was incredibly friendly. However, the dining experience lacked variety at breakfast. The pool area was well-kept and delightful. The pricing was fair, but having to pay for Wi-Fi separately was a slight downside.
This hotel is a gem nestled close to Stanford in the Bay area and conveniently near a shopping mall. The rooms are clean and comfy, and the service is top-notch. The dining options, while inclusive, could use a bit more variety. The facilities are modern and offer excellent value for money.
My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was warm and welcoming. However, the dining options left something to be desired, and the price could have been better. The location was convenient, but there were a few drawbacks to consider.
