While the room itself is clean, the property overall is in disrepair. The furniture is old and worn and the carpeting too. The lobby is not very inviting, and there is never anyone at the front desk. There was polite young lady when I checked in(her name was Rain), but the others I've spoken with act like they are inconvenienced... more

I agree with other reviewers. It looks OK from the outside, and is on a quiet dead end street, sharing the space with a gas station and Burger King. It is nowhere as good as it looks. They checked us into a room that was under construction. No TV, No Phone, No flooring. How could they not know? Next we... more

I will try to keep this as brief as possible. Checked in about 6pm, given a room that right away we noticed problems with. Hard not to notice where the curtains are halfway falling down. I was able to put them back up where they generally refused to stay. Having reattached them as best as i could, we noticed that... more

Being on a recent college visiting tour, I have seen the orgy of new construction that our esteemed higher education institutions have embarked upon (new dorms, student centers, athletic facilities, scientific and engineering laboratories, performing arts centers, classroom buildings, alumni centres, etc). The hotel industry likewise has been on this binge of construction as the past few years of this... more

So I figured in reading other people's reviews that we would be OK with this place because we are farely tolerable people. I can deal with internet service that isn't that great, or renovations that aren't complete. But.....one thing trumps all of that minimally annoying stuff. My husband pulled the iron out of the closet, and there was a dead... more

Obviously, this hotel just joined LaQuinta (a canvas LaQ sign was draped over the old one) Many of the amenties listed will not be available until after a planned renovation (e.g. "premium" cable tv and pay-for-view movies). We had to have the tv set replaced twice before we even had one that worked. They had screwed up my reservation (they... more

The exterior looked okay, then it was downhill from there. They gave us a second floor room but forgot to tell us a small detail...no elevators, we had huge pieces of luggage swaying up the staircases, which was not the way to start a relaxing night. As previous reviewers stated, there is indeed a musty odor throughout the hotel. The... more

PROS: - Was a good price for a 4 night stay, even when booked directly from La Quinta's website directly (used the AAA discount) - The Burger King next door stays open till midnight (and they let me go up to the drive-thru without a car) - Good continental breakfast, nothing out of the ordinary however CONS: - Strong musty... more

I've been visiting the Silicon Valley area for nearly 2 years now and have ALWAYS stayed at the Gateway. (at least 6 times) I have always found the staff to be helpful and friendly. I've never had a bad room. In the summer the Pool area is always clean and inviting. The beds are always comfortable, the bathrooms always spotless.... more
