9/10 Wonderful! (1,000 reviews)

Great hotel in the heart of Cupertino. Conveniently located by a major crossroad with access to lots of food and shopping options nearby. Note, hotel itself has limited options but they are not all that bad. Minutes to Apple, 15-20 mins to major tech companies. The Westfield mall is not too far, along with Santana Row if you are the mood for shopping. The room was spacious, clean and has excellent housekeeping staff. Front desk is attentive and helpful. They have a nook that sells packaged snacks (the choice here could be a little better). The hotel is pet friendly and our dog loved the place as well.

8.2/10 Very Good! (1,107 reviews)

Hotel was clean, nice lobby. My only beef is not getting a receipt emailed to me by hotel or Expedia, forcing me to track it down.
