I drove from Oregon to the Cupetino Inn to celebrate my birthday because it was a central place for my California relatives to meet. The room was very comfortable, the bathroom had two sinks, and the separate sitting room allowed me to work late while my traveling companions slept. Our room was on the ground floor, close to the pool and to rooms occupied by my relatives. From the outside, the hotel looks like a cement monolith, but inside you find it is built around a lovely courtyard containing a fountain, pool, sauna, and lush plants.

Everyone who came to my party enjoyed some aspect of the Cupertino Inn. The kids loved the heated outdoor pool and sauna (open 24 hours), the men enjoyed watching baseball on the big screen TV, my cousin used the free wireless from the moment we checked in until the moment we checked out, I enjoyed the open bar, and there were plenty of food options nearby. The staff had no problem with me having a birthday party in the lounge that went late into the night with several people who weren't staying at the Inn (we weren't too noisy though). Everyone had a great time making waffles in the breakfast buffet.

The was a TV in the bedroom and one in the sitting room, but neither got very many channels. The one in the sitting room had a VCR; neither TV had a DVD player. The remote was missing from the one in the sitting room. The 1980's level technology didn't bother my son at all as he was able to find videos at the front desk that he was happy to watch.

This hotel has a lot of nice touches. I stayed for one night. The breakfeast in the morning was nice and had everything I like to have for breakfeast. The room's only negative was that the TV channels are not expansive - no Comedy Central, for example. The whirlpool was also non functional.

Overall: the hotel has a lot of nice touches, and is located within walking distance of Apple HQ. I would stay there again.

Because of problems with my flight from JFK, I arrived at San Jose Airport six hours late -- at 3:30am. I had reserved a rental car, but unsurprisingly the rental place was closed between 2am and 5am. I called the Cupertino Inn and they told me that they would come and pick me up. They came within 30 minutes. The room I was given was a nice suite with a nice sized living area. The breakfast selection was nice -- even included make-your-own-waffle facilities. Without me asking, the Inn offered to drop me off at the company I had business with that day. They told me that if I needed to be taken anywhere else to call the Inn. They drove me back to the airport once my business was concluded. Because they were so solicitous, I didn't miss the rental car I had reserved but never picked up. Overall, the service was great, the facilities were nice and I would stay there again if I had business in that area again.

I always make my husband stay in Best Westerns, but I decided to branch out this Valentine's weekend. We LOVED the Cupertino Inn. The room was spacious with a great front, sitting room. The spa and pool is open 24 hours (we used it a lot). The continental breakfast was the best we have ever seen. We don't ever stay in Hiltons or other high class hotels, but this hotel beats Best Westerns by a landslide.
