Best Hotels in Portola Valley, United States

Thanksgiving thanks to thanks thanks thanks thanks thank thanks thank

The style of Lucent Hotel fits well with Silicon Valley and the decor is completely modern. Going in is a yard as a parking lot. There is one of the smallest open-air swimming pools in the hotel I have seen on the patio. It can only accommodate one person. If it is more than a few baths. There are sofas and bonfires on the side, very warm. The lady at the reception was very enthusiastic and helped us to take the baggage to the room and introduce the room items. The room is small but clean. Compared to the Express Hotel, the breakfast is full and delicious. Although the hot meal is only Western-style scrambled eggs and fried bacon, it is delicious. Juice, yoghurt, coffee, mineral water are all available, as well as post-meal fruits.

THE GOOD: The hotel was recently renovated, rooms are nicely renovated with beautiful bathrooms. A nice size fitness center and a small but nice pool area. THE BAD: Wifi was absolutely horrible, there was ZERO wi-fi service in the lobby, restaurant or pool area. The Wi-fit would connect for 2 - 3 seconds then drop. When I asked the attended at the café if I could use the Westin Meeting wi-fi I was told no, they don’t have the password. In my room every so often the wi-fi would drop and it would take 20 – 30 minutes to reconnect!!! Furthermore, the power outlet at the desk was dead, there was also no power near the bed to plug in your laptop! Sadly, the food and beverage offerings at this hotel are on par with a Holiday Inn Express. There is no full-service restaurant, just a grab and go café which serves mediocre food. There is a limited breakfast buffet in the morning with poor quality food. On both mornings of my stay the scrambled eggs were a rubbery mess, the breakfast potatoes lacked flavor. The only item that seemed decent to eat were the fresh berries and bread. The quality of the food from room service/grab and go was also upsetting. If you want a full-service dinning experience, you are told to walk over to the Sheraton…. really? BTW: I was told the hotel kitchen is also located at the Sheraton, food is not cooked onsite at the Westin. Hospitality at the hotel is hit and miss. The front desk seems pleasant, but staff were very hesitant to go the extra mile to please… they lacked the hospitality soft skills I have experienced at other hotels of the same caliber. Café staff is very unhelpful, not very friendly, I receive a far better guest experience at my local In-N-Out Burger. In the end if you are expecting an upscale hotel experience in the Palo Alto / Stanford area the Westin disappoints. For the price I would expect a memorable experience, one where you would hate to leave and could not wait to return. During my stay I was looking forward to leaving, I really felt like it was a waste of $$$ and time staying here. When I left, I felt like I had just stayed at a Holiday Inn express with upscale rooms. Hotel should be rebranded... it's not an upscale full service hotel that is about hospitality with a mindset of wellness.

The hotel is on the side of the road. It is a bit noisy and not serious. If you are tired, it will not prevent you from falling asleep. Very close to Stanford. Motel parking is certainly not a problem. As a chain brand motel, the hardware is very good, the room is big and hot enough!

The hotel is great, the rooms are big, but the location is a bit remote. Suitable for couples traveling. All the toiletries in the room are from le labo, the experience is very good. It can be delivered right away if you ask for a microwave in the middle of the night, very good service.

excellent service good location nice view My top one choice to stay in Palo Alto
