"We had a wonderful overall stay at this hotel! The staff was incredibly welcoming, and the food from their restaurant was excellent. It truly was the perfect place to spend the night after catching a concert at Shoreline. The only downside was that there was frost tape covering our entire window due to ongoing exterior maintenance work, and we could see people working outside. While the service and amenities were fantastic, it felt like the full room price wasn't completely warranted when we couldn't even see out our window. If management offers a discount or a room away from the construction during this time, it would easily be a 5-star experience. I would definitely stay here again once the exterior work is finished!"

"Booked a stay here for trip to take my son to see his favorite artists perform at Shoreline Amphitheater. This was one of the best stays ive had at a hotel. Rageev, Guneet and Fernanado were all amazing and helpful. This hotel has thought of everything you may need or want for a pleasant stay. At checkin we were given welcome bags that had slippers, eyemask for sleeping and a bottle of Path water and there are path refill stations. Rooms were super clean and had every hookup needed for computers or gaming consoles. Nice rabbit air filtration system as well. The windows open fully which is nice for fresh air. The bathroom has heated floors and a Japanese heated toilet seat. The shower has 3 heads. Overhead rain shower, regular wall shower head and a handheld head. Best shower ever. Nice selection of teas, coffees and snacks available free in lobby 24/7 but its the espresso/coffee machine available during breakfast that was my favorite. I've never stayed anywhere that I enjoyed the coffee available. Convenient location to Shoreline. Also there's an In N Out and corner store within a few minutes walking. We will definitely stay here again and refer friends."
