Clean, comfortable, room spacious, good size refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave..it’s pretty complete with thoughtful basic essentials when cooking or bringing in food. I like the dish soap and scrubs provided, generous paper towels and infused drinking water. There’s water filtration in each room. There’s filtered water refill in the gym. Very good location and easy access to everything. Very good breakfast. Hopefully during peak hours, chef will have assistance cooking the main dish to ease long queue.

This hotel was clean and modern, and we felt safe. The bed and pillows were comfortable. Breakfast was included with our stay. The price was reasonable. Location was perfect for our event. Train stop was super close. I would recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there again.

Shower water pressure was too low for my liking.

My booking price was messed up by their sales. After few minutes confusion, finally front desk/manager could fix it. Otherwise hotel stay was awesome, breakfast was nice, rooms were super clean, hallway was super clean. Overall it was a good stay!

Sales team messed up my booking and tried to charge me wrong and when I reported the same at the front desk, they initially were telling me that they could do nothing about it. Finally they fixed it.

When I walked to the desk a very nice young lady was a bug smile made my check in very fast and pleasant. The room was clean and quiet hardly heard any noice from fellow travelers. Everything that was being served for breakfast was fresh.

The breakfast area was a bit small for all the people and food areas . The hotel has been open for a year and was told when I asked they still have no ice buckets. So we were unable to get any.

Excellent customer services, nice touches on the queen studio including filtered water at sink, extremely comfortable beds, very spacious queen studio , friendly staff, gluten-free breakfast options and wonderful parfait cart with fresh sliced fruit. Easy access to Levi stadium. Can use public transportation VTA line.

A bit pricey due to concert at Levi but great value, no restaurant/food options in walking distance

It's been a while since I stayed at a Hotel that met my standards and this place went above my expectations! It was extremely clean and the staff was excellent.

I initially booked the room with two beds but I received 1 bed & a chair (but it didn't covert into a bed). The front desk was very understanding & immediately provided us with a room with 2 beds.
