The only thing that could have been better was the bed, which was a little uncomfortable. Improving the mattress or bedding would definitely make the stay even better. The hair dryer in our room was also broken, but when I mentioned it to the front desk, they immediately provided us with another one, which I really appreciated. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and were very happy with...

Sonesta Silicon Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Super clean room... Well appointed worth a VERY comfy bed! Staff was wonderful and the outdoor area / furniture was excellent. The bar / dinner AND the breakfast was really good! The location seems strange (I'm not from that area)... but that's the only "negative" thing I'd say."
