7.2/10

United Kingdom, February 2023

During Thanksgiving, we stayed at a hotel downtown, and the location could not be better. It was right in the middle of all the cute shops and restaurants in the heart of the city. the hotel provided us with bikes for free, which was great because we could explore the area easily. the staff was also very attentive, and they left us a lovely card in our room.

We were not satisfied with the room's condition. the windows were not air-tight, and there was wind coming in, which made the room cold, even with the heat on.

United Kingdom, December 2022

The hotel's location is ideal, being right in the heart of downtown. You'll find plenty of great shops and restaurants just a short walk away. Plus, it's conveniently located near Caltrain and a free shuttle to Stanford. The staff is friendly and attentive, even going the extra mile to bring cookies and well wishes. The design and attention to detail are top-notch, making for a beautiful and unique stay.

Be prepared for some chilly bathroom floors, so be sure to pack slippers or thick socks.

We absolutely loved our stay at this luxurious hotel. The location was simply perfect, right in the heart of all the charming shops and restaurants. We were able to easily explore the area and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. The staff were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. One of the front lobby staff even surprised my husband with cookies and kind wishes before his procedure. It was such a thoughtful gesture that we will always cherish. The attention to detail in the design of the hotel was stunning, creating a truly beautiful and unique ambiance. We were also delighted to find complimentary bikes available, allowing us to easily explore the surrounding area.

We highly recommend this place to our family and friends.
