    If using Uber or ordering delivery, you'll want to specify location + provide contact details. It's really easy to miss the entrance. Nearly every driver has gotten lost meeting me.

    Free WiFi and breakfast! This hotel offers a lot for the cost; I used it as an alternative to staying in San Francisco and I'm only 40 minutes away.

    Perfect place to stay. Don't be fooled by its 3stars- it's actually closer to 4. Awesome decor and bath amenities. Free breakfast and wifi. Ask for room 226 - it's the largest they have.

    The breakfast spread and eggs to order make up for a few other blemishes. Would stay again for quick 2 night trips to Mountain View.

    Excellent service and amenities! Breakfast is not your typical free hotel breakfast! Wine & cheese in the evenings too!

    Use the free eyepatch to cover up the bright blue light on the alarm clock. (Also set it to "dim" with the switch on back.)

    Free breakfast, free wifi, and the coolest bathroom sink ever. I can't fun a downside! Plus great employees who are super friendly!

    How to get better light in the bathroom. Just adjust the lights into that pattern when you first get there. (the one pointed down is on the sink side.) House keeping MAY put them back, but easy fix. Read more

    The complementary breakfast is exceptional. It includes cereal, bagels, toast, pancakes, sausage, bacon, fruit, and more.

    If the hard wired net port under the desk is not working, the other end might be unplugged; follow the phone cable to find the wall port, orange port below it is data, cable from floor goes to desk.

    The wifi here gets a bad rap, most of the problem is the auth wall, which is worse every visit. I scripted the process to avoid the problems: 3sec instead of 5min now. github.com/cabbey/zico

    Nice, clean and cute place to stay. Close to the 85 freeway. About 15 to 20 minutes away from Stanford on surface streets.

    Bring you own Internet access. MiFi or equivalent. VZW coverage is awesome on 2nd floor, AT&T coverage is horrid all over. On site network is somewhere between.

    Hit like if you accidentally missed the Hotel entrance the first time and had to do a U-turn up the road.

    Planning to do some laundry? They have machines, but no quarters or change machine. Bring your own supply.

    Avoid rooms 101, 102, and anything in that general vicinity. They have different layouts than the standard rooms and are pretty terrible.

    Many rooms have a hardwired Ethernet port in the floor near the desk, it's more stable than the wifi, but still slow.

    2nd floor, non balcony rooms seem to be the quietest, especially on the lower numbered side.
