Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley at East Palo Alto

East Palo Alto

"Top notch service. Beautiful property. Room, bed, pillows, bathroom, and pool area are all comfortable. Hallways, hotel room and bathroom all smelled fragrant. In room food very good, however desserts did not meet my expectations. Special mention to the pool bar employees Hosan and Junior and to room service employee Roberto. They know good customer service. Quick check in and check out. Self parking is free. This is the second time me and my wife have spent staycation in this hotel and...

Top Santa Clara Hotel Reviews

Creekside Inn

6/10 Okay

"For $500 a midweek night. I expected, well...more. Front desk staff was very kind and welcoming, but the property itself is old, not updated, and my room was dark and depressing. Only 2 lightbulbs on the ceiling which were that terrible "cool" white. It gave off "interrogation room." The sink was clogged and backed up with brown water with bits of whiskers and dirt...oh, and there was nearly zero water pressure. The robes were awful...scratchy, hard, and uncomfortable. Needless to say, again, I expected more. I'm honestly giving it three stars due to the staff."

Granada Hotel Santa Clara

8/10 Good

"It is basically a motel rather than hotel and only provides very basic stuffs. Bathrooms are wore out, it really needs to have major upgrade to maintain the level. There is no elevator and no way to boil hot water in this motel, you will be asked to carry your own bags to second floor through stairs. Front desk service is good, they are willing to switch room to first floor due to no elevator to second floor."
