Great breakfast and lovely staff!
This place looks tired for a Best Western. The carpet is ripped and tattered. It appeared most rooms were occupied so they should be able to afford a facelift. Breakfast was very good and my room was very clean.

This is a treat for a traditional Silicon Valley hotel at this price point. The staff is top notch and the facilities are more than adequate. Great proximity to the international airport. I travel to the area frequently and I will stay here again :-)

Hotel quiet, breakfast buffet great, good choice of hot food, room clean, comfortable, enjoyed the pool. Got free bottled water and free bottle of wine on check-in. Don't know why people complained about trains going past, I liked the sound of the horns tooting, they couldn't be heard at night. Karen

As a single female traveler I felt very unsafe at this hotel. There are 7 buildings with 50 or so rooms each. I asked for a room near the pool/cafe area. The clerk gave me a room behind the cafe where the dumpsters are. The area was dark, there was junk stored in a corner, I couldn’t find the elevator. Two guys were doing drugs as I was parking. I went back and told the clerk I didn’t feel safe. She tells me that’s all she has. She finally gives me a room in the last building. It felt like a different zip code. My room is in the back of the last building facing a construction site. The lighting is not very good, the elevator was hard to find. I booked the hotel for 2 nights but left after the first night. I will never book this hotel again.
