Beautiful little hotel, very nice rooms, friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast is good, not great, but there are a ton of places to eat around it, but definitely good for a morning pick-me-up. Pretty quiet for being right off a major throughfare, just jet traffic noise from SJO, but that's common. I would defintiely stay again next time I am in the area.
This was my first time staying at the Nest Hotel. I was greeted promptly as I entered the lobby by a friendly receptionist. The check-in process was swift and I was given an upgrade on my room without asking. The room was very clean and modern. The shower was spacious and their choice of shampoo/conditioner smelled amazing. There was ample parking and the continental breakfast included breakfast potatoes, eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, bagels and fresh fruit. However, if you prefer Starbucks, there is a brick and mortar within a short walking distance. I would highly recommend this hotel. And I will look forward to staying here again in the future.
The property was close enough to Stanford. The buffet breakfast was filling. The remodel looks like it was done in haste, but the property was clean. No fridge, but they let you keep your food in their kitchen.
Staff was welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was a highlight. The room was nothing fancy but it was clean and comfortable. I wish the lighting in the parking area was better since room entry is from outside. Overall a good night’s rest for the price!
I felt safe and my room was done every day, and for the most part the place was quiet. It’s nicely situated, about a 10-min drive from Stanford, and 25 mins from San Jose airport. The gym could use some love, but then again, so could the whole place. All in all, it’s a solid place to stay.
Wonderfull pleace, great Staff and room always is clean.

Clean, comfortable, easy parking, bar on site. Not a destination hotel, but a great place to stay on work trips.
Note you'll need a rental car or lots of money for
Room was not clean, had insufficient lighting, and bedding was obviously not clean.
However, the reception staff are accommodating, professional, and are doing their best.
The staff was lovely, the room was clean and comfortable, complimentary breakfast, snacks, tea and coffee was great and the patio seating beautiful. I will 100% recommend!
