Great location for the conference Food served during conference was good; however, limited options for non-meat eaters especially for breakfast No non meat protein options
The only other critique is placing water bottles in rooms only available for special members otherwise there is a charge Why not provide water at check in to these members rather than those of us not at the same level of membership seeing the water is not for us in the room? Not very welcoming
Jenn Thompson
This hotel is in need of some serious updating The furniture is old, and the bathrooms are outdated with patch up work and peeling wallpaper The hallways are very loud – doors slam, so your morning comfort depends on how early your neighbors decide to start their days
The location is great and having the market downstairs is nice The rooms seemed to be cleaned well It’s definitely not as upscale as the pictures and reviews make you think
Antonio Ly
I typically do not write reviews, but my experience at this Hyatt was poor, which is sad because Hyatt has always been a go to for me when travelling We arrived late at night only to discover right before bed that our toilet did not work After calling the front desk to report the issue, we went downstairs to the front desk (at midnight) to switch rooms
We went up to our new room to find the toilet leaking, and there were no toiletry items such as q-tips and cotton pads in our new room We reported the issue and requested compensation The hotel told us they would get back to us After hearing no response the next day, we followed up and were offered a $100 dining credit to be used at the hotel (where rooms service closes at 10pm), which was worthless to us because we did not plan on dining at the hotel However, that was what they could offer so we accepted and ordered room service When we checked out, they charged us the full amount for the room service, and did not consider out $100 credit We had to follow up to be refunded Overall, whilst the employees were polite in their handling of the matter, the service received was poor which was very disappointing for a 4 star Hyatt

Nice hotel, great location What really makes this special is the person who greeted me at the front desk Her name is Cat and she is AMAZING
I’ve been traveling for several weeks and I came in exhausted My flight was canceled and I’ve been having a busy / stressful day Cat immediately greeted me with a smile and a joke and made me feel relaxed and comfortableAfter my (much deserved) nap, I’m going to try to hit the pool to relaxTHANK YOU CAT!!!
Eric
A mixed stay this trip, but hopefully related to their ongoing renovationsThe Good: very high quality service as expected from a Westin Due to the renovations there was a mix of Westin and Sheraton staff on call, but quality was great all across
The Surprising: housekeeping appears to have switched from expected to on request only When I confirmed with the front desk after several days, they apologized that I wasn’t told when I checked in Not sure if this is a regional (CA is under a major drought warning) or a staffing (due to post-Covid issues) change, but unexpected nonethelessThe Gratifying: The property, in the final stages of its renewal, is lovely on the inside and out, and it’s location near the Palo Alto downtown makes this a great place to stay in the Valley

I have been to this hotel’s bar area a few times and they have a good selection of drinks and small bites The backyard is very meticulously designedThis tome we stayed for a night and got a good deal since it was a last minute booking
And wow, the room was so beautiful The attention to details, all the nice finishes; amazing Bed was comfortableThe only issue was all the 4 pillows in our room were hugeBut overall highly recommended
Ciara Lopez
As a Marriott Bonvoy member I enjoy exploring hotels in different locations I also really love the Autograph Collection hotels because they’re always modern in aesthetic and amenities What I love about this location is that it’s outside of the hustle and bustle but still very convenient to anything you could desire
The outdoor space is intimate but fulfilling- with a beautiful pool & poolside cabanas as well as a lawn with lawn games right next to their bar and restaurant area The rooms are quiet and modern I personally love the corner rooms and soaking tub You will definitely enjoy your time here
amy amy
Horrible experience!! First the hotel is beautiful and the staff is nice However, after this everything falls apart We arrived just before 9pm
Was told the restaurant and bar is closed Then we asked if we could order room service and they said they don’t offer room service Then the next morning I couldn’t find the lotion in the bathroom I figured must have been a simple oversight, so i called down and they informed me they don’t offer any kind of lotion What? I have never been to a place that doesn’t offer lotion!! The blackout shades are designed poorly and don’t overlap so it’s bright in the morning Traffic is noisy But it is what it is I guess can’t do much there However, today we went down to grab a quick bite before our flight and the place was completely empty We asked to sit outside and they informed us they couldn’t accommodate because they were fully booked (please look at the photos I’m attaching, there wasn’t anyone seated!) paying $800 per night I would expect more The way this place is ran leaves much to be desired

Good service overall
except, I didn’t get room I reserved for even though I had a confirmation They were claiming they were fully booked How is that? When your system confirmed that it was available a week ealier, before my arrival Make the system show what is truly available and not waiting till the customer arrives to make the change
Sean Tong
After staying at 2 different Hyatt Place in California, we would try to avoid it in the future1) Charge extra $8 for parking2) Fitness room is very dirty, with dirt all over floor3) Fitness air conditioning is broken
Temperature set 68 F, but thermostat showing 84 Reported to staff at 6:30pm but was told all maintenance staff were gone 6:30pm !!If combine point 2 and 3, I realized there probably has no maintenance in Fitness room for days, such that the temperature could raise to 84 with absolutely no cleaning4) No microwave in the room First time ever in my 20 years traveling in America that there is no microwave convenience in a major hotel chain There was only 1 microwave in the lobby God forbid if it was ever broken like fitness room and no maintenance staff againStay here at your own risk!!

Be warned to stay away from this hotel!Its our first time going to Milpitas and it so happened we booked on this mediocre hotelIts the Courtyard by Marriott Fremont Silicon ValleyLocated at 47000 Lakeview Blvd Fremont CA 94538I will give you guys a heads up not to book on this hotel if you couldIts one of the worst hotel we’ve been to
Outdated hotel amenitiesold carpet and furnishingsAlso they are doing construction workWe didn’t know because we check in at nighttime and its five hour drive from where I came fromUpon checking in to pay I was expecting they will give me some sort of discounts because I am a AAA memberOther five star hotels always honors it, but sad to say nothing was givenAlso the reception lady told me I have to booked it on their website to avail the discount if through third party website like Expedia or Travelocity they can’t honor anythingBe aware of the receptionist ladyHer name was Taylor,very poor customer service,Please don’t believe on everything she saidShe told us our breakfast and dinner was included in our reservationsSo the next day we want to try their dinner menu at their Bistro restaurant and to my surprise I was told we need to pay and its not included in our package, confusing its because in the first place we were told by the receptionist Taylor that breakfast and dinner was included upon checking inSo wrong information was given to usother than no discount on our stayIts a very frustrating and sad experiencesWe should not booked hereThere’s a better hotel out therePlease stay away so you guys won’t experience this inconvenience and get yourself a better hotel than this oneStay safe and god bless to all

This hotel is really nice They have great customer service The parking is ample and free around the hotel
The rooms are nice and comfortable Located right near Great America of California and the 49ers stadium, it’s well place for fun times! The pool was nice, but the hot tub was out of service The gym is well stocked and they always had towels
Mekesha P. W. (KinkyCoilyMayhem)
This is perfectly located! It is part of the Rivermark Shopping Village Great coffee spots, eateries, a nail salon, two banks, local library and a grocery Hotel was nice and clean, we has a studio king suite and my parents had a king bedroom suite a couple of doors down
The cleaning staff was super helpful as we had toddler constantly making a mess and need the vacuum frequently Front desk staff was welcoming and competent I love be able to park on the second level of the parking deck as our room faced that direction and it was easy to see the car from our window Breakfast was a mix of hot and cold items and I love the variety of foodAll around great stay!
Kerem Gürsu
This is an amazing hotel with the friendly staff I usually stay at Hilton during my business travels Every time I stay, I see smiling faces and friendly people
The rooms are great and always clean The restaurant is good If you need a place to stay especially for business, this is your address The only thing that need to be taken care of is the vending machines on the floors They are always out of stock but they are always working 24/7 making noise 🙂

Excellent customer service Clean and modern rooms Absolutely love the robot delivery
The only issue I experienced was with the EV Charger I witnessed a few people plugging in their Tesla and walking to work In the evening I saw someone watching a movie in their vehicle while it was charging Obviously they weren’t guests at the hotel I wish we got the opportunity to use the EV chargerUpdate: It seems like EV charging is a big issue at this location Most regular guests are aware of people swapping out their cars throughout the day to get a free charge This is really unfair to all the guests who wish to use this complimentary amenityThe hallways are really noisy We requested a high floor room to avoid all the noise We were very disappointed
Mitch Cullins
The hotel was great It’s well-appointed They have a sold menu, pool, TV options, etc
I had a small problem with my room (none of the internet-based TV services worked) Stuff happens/things break More than I am disappointed to not have streaming TV for a night, I am super-pleased with their efforts to make me happy Their engineer spent over an hour with tech support before determining a replacement device was needed Then later he found me in the hall, apologized and gave a great explanation – he put in a LOT of time for my one little problemIt turned out that first night the hotel was full, so they had no options But the next morning, as I walked to the car, the (Manager?) ran across the parking lot to tell me would have a new room ready and to meet him in the afternoon He didn’t have to do that Heck, he had me resigned to the “broken” room all week, and could have sold what was one of his few open rooms He didn’t He sprinted to take care of me and I appreciate itI am headed back to the area soon, and based on that experience, Aloft is where I will stay every time I can
Wang Yue
I stayed three nights in this hotel from 3/16 to 3/18 The hotel was completely cut off power on the last night, 3/18, starting at least 9pm I was back to hotel around 9pm and it was already power off
The hotel did nothing Obviously they don’t want to pay extra to call someone to solve the outage issue after-hour The electricity was not back on until next day morning around 9:30am And, apparently, they can avoid preparing breakfast because of thatThe most disappointed part was there was no explanation, no apologies and of course no refund at all Obviously, they don’t care about customer satisfaction or their service quality I’ve been traveling all over the country and this is definitely the WORST experience

The manager, who I believe is named Nick, was by far without a doubt the nicest and best Hilton employee I’ve ever met As a diamond member, I’ve met tons and tons of hotel employees but this guy went above the rest He was training a new person who he treated very respectfully, upgraded my room for free, and called in to check on me about an hour after checking in
Hilton should promote this guy and pay him to travel around and train other hotels on how to treat guests I’ve noticed a big decline in hospitality since COVID at all branded hotels but this again was by far above and beyond anything I’ve experienced in the past decade Give this guy a raise!!
Malcolm Phillips
The service was great Rooms were pretty good Shower control was a little confusing as it didn’t work the same as the basin
The gym was tiny and had many weights missing Pool was niceBreakfast didn’t have any non-dairy milk available but I made do All up it was a nice stay
Fred CD
Nick at the front desk was very down-to-earth and knowledgeable and at check in was super fast When the room I was in was showing reserved for the next day when I tried to extend for two more days Nick worked some more magic and not only had me keep the same room type but was able to keep me in the same room without moving which is a pain if you’ve already settled in your room but Nick took care of that at first I thought he was a motivated employee come to find out he’s the general manager which mildly surprised me some general managers or managers can come off with a chip on their shoulder Overall my stay was great the rooms are a little dated but still comfortable and this Hampton Inn is a little less expensive for the area so reflected in the price
The breakfast like at most Hampton had a lot of options the waffles with scrambled eggs sausage oatmeal muffins good coffee and nothing ever ran out Would stay again If you’re looking for modern and new Hampton this wouldn’t be it but it is still very clean with a great housekeeping staff Thanks Nick!!

Love it here, nice and quiet, well with the exception of my 3 year old All of the staff I have encountered have been pleasant and very nice Not one rude person to date
Only one thing upset me the first night we stayed I ran out to my car and left my laundry bag that had my laundry laundry soap as well as a few other items was snatched up really quickly, I didn’t even see anyone so I assumed either maintenance or a maid thought it was garbage and tossed it , gal at the front desk assured me it wasn’t and someone had most likely stolen it she said she would check the cams but I never heard back Oh well sucks but what can I dooverall made a great choice here!!!!
Pankaj Agarwal
A decent hotel in Fremont located close to a lot of eateries, stores and even an AMC They provide complimentary breakfast which is a decent spread although vegetarian/vegan options are very limited The room was large and clean with a balcony facing the pool
They have easy accessibility to heated pool and a jacuzzi Due to ongoing covid protocols the house keeping didn’t come daily but fresh towels and toiletries were available at the reception The parking lot was also big
Bobby Marsh
🫤 My first impression walking to my room was seeing a pile of trash from what looked like the maintenance crew, (bags of trash, microwaves mattresses etc) Then the hallway has a very heavy smell of smoke Once I reached my room there were flies buzzing around in it, and the shower and sink were both clogged After a long drive I was ready to go relax in the hot tub only to find out the water was cold
I wouldn’t recommend staying here

We stayed at the Penthouse Suite for our wedding weekend, and I would strongly recommend the same for other couples The hotel is beautiful, both the rooms and common areas, and the staff was extremely thoughtful and considerate during the booking process as well as during the weekend Compared to other hotels in the area, the price is much more justified by the quality of the experience
I highly recommend El Prado and hope to return some day
Alexah Rogge
Gorgeous hotel– we were trying to rent an event space for weeks/months but the service was extremely disappointing, waiting extended periods for a response from the events/sales coordinator, no contract sent after saying it would be sent several times, etc We sent several ‘hi just checking in on this’ emails to try to move the process along and get a response, but eventually we just decided to not risk it with the unreliable service and scheduled our event at a different hotel Hopefully the service improves because it is a lovely space

My family and I stayed at the El Prado hotel It was a fantastic stay and would love to stay there again The hotel staff was extremely polite, the rooms were very clean, no noise, and a great view of the courtyard
We originally ordered 1 room but opted to get a second room so our kids would have more space to spread out (besides, it would have been difficult for my wife and kids to share 1 bathroom)The location of the hotel is just off the main street that has several restaurants We had plans to go to Il Forniao (Italian restaurant downstairs) but we had jetlag and unfortunately, the restaurant was close to closing that night we arrived I had eaten at the restaurant in the past and it has a wonderful menu selection and amazing pastaWe took the kids down the street to Salt and Straw (icecream) It’s a must if you are staying at El Prado Get the Cookie dough and Cinnamon icecreams if you go thereRoom service in the hotel was very good My kids thought the chicken strips and the grilled cheese sandwich were a bit drybut the tuna was REALLY good (make sure you get the bowl of mixed berries with your dinnerthat was also very good) For breakfast we had the omelette and yogurt for breakfast; it was excellentI think all the rooms have a view of the courtyard Ensure you get a room with a balcony it was nice to sit out on the balcony and enjoy the fresh air

This is a hidden gem! We booked from out of state and chose this hotel for the ratings and their professional attention to cleanliness The front desk staff was so helpful! My boyfriend had to take a college final for an online course and forgot some sheets and a calculator The front desk helped print what he needs from the business center and let him borrow a calculator for his exam! The room and bathroom were so cute! Only issue was the tv connection quality at night but it was better in the morning
The bed was AMAZING Everything so clean Hope we come to town again so we can stay here! Forgot the names of the front desk staff that helped us but we felt like this was a 5 star hotel with how kind and attentive the staff was!

I have stayed here a couple of times Both times the service has been great The location is easy to get to
First time the room was nice and comfortable This time was different Watch out if you get sent down to the first floor, outside set of rooms The corridor was pretty dark (kind of reminded me of horse stalls) and the room was an odd mix, mostly of unrennovated elements and a good bed and linens The wallpaper was dated and coming off the wall in pockets, areas looked worn, and old I usually don’t notice most of these kinds of details But it was just a little shabby and not what I expected for this hotel It was more like a lesser motel in appearance I got to the hotel around 9:30pm Maybe it was the last room available? Or I was a bad girl (not that I know of)? Or that I paid a discounted rate for travel? Or I hadn’t connected the visit to my rewards card? I don’t know what I did to get banished to the outside, slightly intimidating night time, corridor Being exhausted, I went to sleep and left quickly in the morning, despite planning to take two calls from the room in the morning

It’s dated yes but budget friendly There is parking and additional parking in the back There are rooms that are inside the and rooms that are partially outside but there is stone fencing that if you want to see your car in the parking lot you can do so
Staff is great and if you want high class hotel to match your buying power go for the Four seasons But if decide to stay at the Crowne Plaza with good people It’s near freeways which cradles between Los Altos, Palo Alto, Stanford, Menlo Park ,Mountain view very fun communities with fun things to do Just have an open mind and be adventurous lots of different restaurants and fruit stand down the street I stayed there and also rented the cabana on hot summer days we had a blast

I have never been in a Marriotts I didn’t like This one was okay, but with flaws First, if your handicap be sure you request ground level, there are no elevators for the second floor
The rooms were good size with a full kitchen, no complaints there It is an older facility so it had quite a few signs of wearing from age There was some Rust in the bathtub and some corners and edges of the room were worn and even a little dirty Lastly, I am recovering from a broken ankle and did not even think about a Marriott’s not having a elevator, so they had me set on the second floor They did however change everything to a first floor unit which was great However, the first evening we were out of shampoo and our television did not work so I called in kind of late She said she would call and check with maintenance and we never got a call back on the TV or shampoo The shampoo was there when we arrived back the next day , but the TV had not been touched I called again and she said she would get someone over immediately, 30 minutes later there was no one there I called again and she said it might be another 20 minutes and still no one showed up I called the last time and someone was there within 2 minutes Just never had that experience at a Marriott’s comment so that was a little disappointing By the way, that was 2 different receptionistw I was dealing with, not just one Of course maintenance could have been the problem
Isabela Jackson
This place was goodlooking in the pictures and when you first walk in, and staff were welcoming But I will NEVER stay here again! I opened up the covers and saw alot of stains including blood and Last but not least there was a bed bug crawling Right next to me It was 8:00 at night and I packed up my things and left I CAN NOT tolerate bugs
I recommend if you stay here to look at the hotel before staying because this is not the first review on this hotel about having bed bugs and bed being dirty
Philip Shao
Everything was sort of OK, until we found this card by the doorway implicating there’s actually a complimentary MASSAGE service available It’s obvious that someone at the front desk is running a prost*tution ring and they’re quite good at itNever staying here again and another sad day for Marriott for tolerating this kind of BS

The wife and I stayed on a Friday and Saturday night Friendly check in Young lady got us a room facing the garden area, very nice
Nice pool, although the hot tub is closed for repairs Paid ten dollars extra (in advance) for the breakfast, but it was for a very basic American breakfast, not the fancy buffet which would have cost more The bedding and pillow were super comfortable Had dinner at the hotel restaurant Excellent food, good value, served quickly Good neighborhood Lots of restaurants in the immediate area, as well as two shopping malls within 10 minutes drive
Chrystal Byrd
Great hotel for the price Clean and modern and located in a great spot Felt safe and no problems coming and going at night
Plenty of parking Pool was decent sized, not sure how long the jacuzzi is expected to be closed for repairs Breakfast buffet ($25) is nice, but pricey Lamp on nightstand was too dim to use for reading so I had to drag the floor lamp next to the bed Was surprised at how cramped the bathroom is:/ Also, down comforter should have a duvet cover, it is not sanitary to have guests share this without any cover!!! YUCK!!!
Kari Beaudoin
My room was so quiet! It was clean and welcoming The lobby was clean and welcoming The staff at the front desk where some of the best i have had met in the last few months coming through hotels (yes i travel alot)
I didn’t use any of the amenities, but I saw some kids coming from the pool and they where all smiles which made me smileThis would be a hotel I would recommend and also return to

Stayed here a week ago! The hotel has great facilities like a swimming pool and a well stocked gym Staff are friendly and inviting! Room service is very quick and anything we requested through the app was brought hastily The food is really good as you’d expect from the Four Seasons
Room was nice and spacious and the beds were great! The sound proofing is amazing; we’re very light sleepers and we did not hear any noise at all An overall great stay!
Emily Williams
I’ve traveled to the Bay Area for work dozens of times, and this was my first time staying at the Four Seasons It definitely won’t be my last!I absolutely loved everything about my stay The bed was heavenly (planning to buy the linens for my own home!), the room was spacious and bright, and the room service was outstanding
I worked late every evening so ended up eating in my room way more often than anticipated and couldn’t have been more pleased Huge kudos to the housekeeping staff for a lovely stay Can’t wait to come back!
Mike Lombardi
Excellent hotel as you’d expect Rate was actually very good through corporate travel site so this was my first time visiting – normally very costly compared to other properties in the area On site restaurant is very good, staff is attentive and the room was excellent
Fitness center was easy to use and had enough equipment for everyone between 8a and 9a on a Tues and Thurs morning Parking is valet or self-park (no fees but get an overnight parking pass from the valet to put on your dash) Would stay again and again as long as the price stays right

Location! Location! Location! It is conveniently located next to Dumbarton bridge and easy access to 880 The rooms are decent The staff is friendly
I have spent many nights at this location and the biggest issue we have ran into was housekeeping After putting in a request for our room to be cleaned, it took about 3 days for housekeeping to finally come and clean our room This wasn’t an isolated incident This happened on multiple occasionsThe rooms need maintenance One time our heater was working but the AC was not The other time we had to change rooms because the toilet wouldn’t flushThe elevator also needs some kind of maintenance It’s scary! It shakes and rattles
Matt Slatter
The first room they put us in smelled horrible like someone dumped tons of powdered carpet cleaner everywhere Infact the whole second floor smelled like this to the point that your eyes and sinuses start shutting down after a few minutes The front desk was helpful and moved us to a new room
The rooms are the cheapest low grade rooms I’ve ever seen in a Marriott w plastic fixtures and hospital type lights that come on at sink and bathroom The beds were decent AC controls are in the wall unit and tan either too cold or off Would never stay here again
