“Decent hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 16, 2011

This was a satisfactory stay at a satisfactory hotel. Plenty of parking, decent rooms. They are a bit dated, but relatively clean. The front desk staff were pleasant. The only pure negative was the breakfast area. While the breakfast items were acceptable, the seating area is quite small. It can get very crowded. Otherwise, everything else was decent.

This is a good value for the area.

Room Tip: Use AAA rate or call the hotel directly

“Place to rest before a flight.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 10, 2011

I didn't mean to sleep here. We had a red eye to catch and wanted a cheap room to freshen up in before the flight after a long weekend. Our flight got pushed back and we were too late to cancel, or frankly we would have stayed in a different hotel.

You aren't going to get a quiet room here, runway on one side and freeway on the other. Neither of these are distant, we are talking a couple hundred feet at the most.

If you have stayed in any of these hotels you know the breakfast is just a step above continental, with maybe microwaveable selections in the fridge on the counter. Well somehow they had managed to make this look even less appealing than most places. And the woman who was stocking and keeping it up, was not in a uniform, was not pleasant, and frankly could not stay out of anyone else's business. I'm sure she meant well and all, but please, step back and leave me alone.
If you are going to step off a plane and sleep before heading to Google or Intel or any of the other 1000 tech companies within a stones throw in Mountain View, this might do. The place just is not going to score as your favorite hotel, even your favorite Fairfield Inn.

Room Tip: Sleep here, if you have too.

“Convenient Location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed May 6, 2011

Recent business trip with 2 nights here that I chose for location, right off the 101. That said, there was some traffic noise even through closed windows, but the room was what was expected, the service standard. DId not have the breakfast but having a refrig in the room allowed for a quick trip to the grocery store for some healthy food options.
A nice restaurant with good food and reasonable prices, Izzy's, is on the adjacent parking lot so dinner was easy.
Would stay there when in the area for business again.

“Affordable stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 2, 2011

The hotel was an average Fairfield Inn. The location was nice, next to the highway and it was quiet. My only complaint was pretty much no hot water each morning. Tried a different time each morning and couldn't get enough hot water.
