Horribly hard beds

The hotel was close to the venue which was great. The bed was like sleeping on plywood. It was the most uncomfortable bed i have ever slept on. For the price i paid 375.00 a nignt i would think the beds would be comfortable.

I booked a suite and it was VERY reasonable. Very big and was able to open two sliders, which made me very happy for fresh air and natural cooling. Electric car chargers. Walmart, Safeway and target within a mile. Seems to be a bus that goes down street to Stanford University but check on that. Steakhouse next door. Was very pleased.

The hotel grounds were exquisite with the koy ponds and gardens! The room was very nice, we stayed in a Lanai with the koy pond right outside our window which was very relaxing to hear the water splashing from the movement of the fountains. The problem with our stay was the bed was terrible and the pillows were right there with the bed ‘terrible’! The property owners need to upgrade the beds and the pillows then I would rate this a 4.9 almost 5 star place to stay! Check your room for the bed and pillows before booking your stay here!

1. Jacuzzi type tub to high off the floor. Could not step over tub edge to shower. 2. No senior discount offered. --- Very sad. 3. No T.V. pay to view moves offered. Other than this, very nice lodging. I would book again.

Old Musty Hotel

This hotel was rated 9.8 Excellent on Hotels.com. This is the second time from Hotels.com Ive been burnt on a hotel. This particular hotel is our of date, The hotel is under a lot of trees with water fountains all around the hotel rooms are musty and smell bad. The furniture is out dated and beat. I had to battle allergies from the must and mold.
