Traveling to Mountain View with Family

I really enjoyed our stay here, it was clean, all of the staff were extremely nice, and I liked the breakfast selection. Our room was clean, the beds were comfy, and the bathroom and bathtub was clean. I liked that they used Dove products since this is the brand that we use already. All of the staff were so helpful and very friendly to my twin 5 year olds, they would ask questions and every staff greeted them with a smile and answered all of their questions. I would definitely stay here again.

Small hotel with easy parking. I loved that they served both eggs and egg whites in their buffet breakfast. I wished the heavy curtains in the room closed all the way to leave out the light. They seemed to be just for decoration which doesn’t make sense.

Good Stay, But...

The hotel was convenient to shopping and eateries. The staff was absolutely wonderful! I was disappointed that the elevators did not work for the weekend. That meant checking in, then exiting the main facility to walk across the driveway to take the stairs. The staff offered to carry my luggage as I recently had knee surgery. Honestly, had I known ahead of time, I would have cancelled my reservation and booked somewhere else. Otherwise, my room was comfortable; breakfast was good, and the staff was professional.
