The room was clean. The drain in the shower was clear, which I often check for. The staff were lovely. The only small thing that would be amazing is brighter lights in the bathroom. I would be happy staying here again! The location is very convenient too!

Sunnyvale was a very Convenient place.. Everything just 10- 15min away.. Safe and Walkable.. Should come to visit when everybody have time"

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Not a city I would go to just to visit the city itself. Only one nice dining strip, and it is quite small. Not very nice for walking around in general. I would suggest Mountain View in both of these capacities instead.

4/5 - Good

It was a great place to attend a convention.
