8.4/10 Very Good! (2,889 reviews)
Location was good, the hotel was nice and clean. The reason for a 4 star instead of 5 is that parking was $40/day and shuttle only goes to the airport and not downtown Burlingame.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay - except could never ever contact anyone by phone to help in any way.

Verified traveler

The city of Los Altos is very nice, unfortunately it is overrun by self entitled, new money, techies that truly believe they are the only people that matter. It used to be okay, but now there are way too many people, especially people like that.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Lovely area if you have money to spend and want to relax, otherwise it's pricey and kind of out of the way.
