Top Old Palo Alto Hotel Reviews

Wild Palms, a JdV by Hyatt Hotel

8/10 Good

"Stayed here one night. The pool area was clean and breakfast wasn’t too bad. The hotel is Located in a good spot where there is quick access to surrounding restaurants and shops. My only gripe is that my room was near one of the gated exits to the parking lot and I could hear people exiting and entering at all hours. Definitely a good spot for families."

The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

8/10 Good

"El Hotel está muy bien. Solo le falta un poco para que no se vea que se está poniendo viejo. Se nota en las alfombras: muy viejas. Pero su staf es espectacular. Destaco a Jennifer de la Recepción y a su mamá Ruby que está al tanto del desayuno de cortesía. Sumamente amables y dispuestas a ayudar. Son de lo mejor."

Maple Tree Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Number one the hotel is located in Sunnyvale near businesses and car dealerships so it feels very safe very visible plenty of parking. Plenty of lit parking. I should add as a security on the ground that patrol the parking lot. The room was a single king which came with a dresser office desk, safe and armoire for clothing bench to sit down and put your clothes. The luggage on huge bed an accident chair that is very comfortable nightstands and of course the shower amenities very clean very extreme mind. Nothing but too big to bulky everything we used and not an item in that living room room went unused very clean no odor notice when I open the windows I looked at the window pains and they’re very clean. Even when I turn on the AC unit it smell fresh the smell of mildew or static dust. great night sleep very quiet, easy checkout, and they actually offer free breakfast, which is really good."

Sonesta Silicon Valley

10/10 Excellent

"Easy hassle free check in, the front desk woman was very nice. The junior suite room was spacious with large sliding doors that separated them with the bathroom in the middle. One room had a desk where I got some work done tv and couch. The other room had a large bed tv. Will definitely stay there again if I’m in the area! Very reasonably priced for a Friday night as well."

Uptown Oasis San Jose Airport

8/10 Good

"Check in was a breeze with Priscilla, she gets 5 stars. Pool was perfect with the seating and overall depth (9ft). Bed wasn’t the best but the blackout curtains were nice and the room was large. Parking was good and it’s close to downtown. They have a buffet for 15$ and I'm told it was good by other members of my party. The squirrels were massive and I even saw a black one which I’ve never seen before. Would stay again."
