I decided to book this hotel since it was a reasonably priced extended stay hotel and I had read some pretty good reviews about it. I did not like that it is a bit far from San Francisco, but the price was right.

When I arrived at the hotel and checked in, I discovered that the office/front desk is separate from the actual building where my room would be. So I had to drive over to the building to unload. I do prefer hotels where the front desk is in the same building. I did not want to have to walk across the parking lot to use their business center and other things. You do need your room key to access your building. The parking lot had alot of trash around though and the hallways inside seemed a bit dim.

I entered my room and it appeared very clean and in good order. The bathroom door would not stay open. When you walk in the bathroom, the door swings behind you. The room was pretty big though, with a full kitchen.

What completely turned me off was the teenagers roaming in and out of the building. They were very noisy in the halls and were hanging around the stairwell and going in and out of the building. I'm not sure if they were even staying there. I did not feel safe going to my car to unload. And I knew I would not get any sleep if I had to deal with noisy neighbors.

So I decided to check out. This hotel may be ok for a family or couple, but not for a female traveling alone, like myself. I eventually found another extended stay in the area that suited my needs. But I will not stay at this Towneplace Suites again.

Stayed for 3 nights last summer. Close to freeway, easy to get to San Francisco. The best bit was there were shops close. So milk, bread etc were easy to buy. Another plus point for me is there were good indian restaurants in the vicinity serving good vegetarian food.
The accommodation was basic but suited us as there was a kitchen. We had trouble with the toilet but the team sorted it out without delay. All in all a practical place to camp with family.

I needed a good deal on a room that could accomodate 6 people (which can really limit your options). The staff were really sweet (I mean toothache kind of sweet) and trying to make up for the fact that this is an older condo being remodeled. The room was acceptable--dated but clean. I liked having the full kitchen! The bed was also quite comfortable. It would have been nice to have an extra bath. The pool was great and the kids loved that they were allowed to stay in later than the posted hours! The continental bkfst was very limited in choices, but a grocery store was just down the street. Also, good freeway access.

We were in town for a high school reunion and chose this property because it was close to the event. The staff were very friendly and efficient. When we returned from our event after 10pm...someone had spilled a soda in front of one of the entrances which made the walkway sticky. Around 3am we were awakened to a group of teanagers screaming in the hallway and slamming their door...my wife was not a happy camper. When I started to load the car early the next morning, an employee from maintenace was mopping up the soda mess.

One of the best things about this place is the shower...very relaxing after a 4 hour drive. This property could use new carpets but otherwise it served its purpose.

We probably would not stay here again only because one of our favorite Marriott properties is located in Palo Alto.
