I enjoyed the theme of the hotel. Our room over-looked a beautiful lagoon, and the breakfast dining area overlooking the pool was beautiful and relaxing. The beds were a little too hard, but the pillows were very comfortable.
Positives: The outdoor areas were very serene and unique.
Negatives: We were woken by the maid at 8:00 am despite leaving a sign on the door. She knocked several times.

Overall, room was very clean and bed was very comfortable. Wireless should be free like other 3 star hotels (Residence Inn by Marriott). Elevator 1 was out of service 1st day when<BR/>I checked in so a little inconvenient since my room was on the 4th floor plus ice-machine out of order on our floor during my 2 day stay.
Positives: Very close and convenient to Stanford University.
Negatives: Swimming pool not heated.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 23 May 2008 rated 6 out of 10.
Nice hotel for the business traveler. Rooms were nicely appointed and in good condition. Staff are friendly and professional. Internet access is separately charged (approx $10/24 hours). The Cal Train railroad runs just off the back of the hotel, so rooms on the back are exposed to the noise from the trains.
Positives: Rooms were comfortable, clean and in good condition; friendly staff.
Negatives: Rooms along back of hotel are adjacent to an active railroad track, which can be sleep disruptive.

Good location, close to Stanford. Room is small, both beds are too soft. Walls are paper thin, can hear phone conversation next room. Popcorn ceiling remains after remodeling, don't know why. On the plus side, the down comforter is really comfortable. The remodeled bathroom is nice although small, granite counter, new wall tiles, new shower curtains. Front desk staff very friendly and helpful.

Negatives: Room small, beds too soft, walls paper thin, popcorn ceiling.
