SERVICE & CHECKIN -- The checkin took such a long time. I still enjoyed interacting with the staff; they were always warm, helpful, & sincere. The only bane is the $49 early checkin fee 🤕 (painful).
The reception area itself is rather small & can feel congested with just a few parties waiting.
Covered parking is accessible through an underground garage, while uncovered parking is out front.
LOBBY & TRANSITIONS -- The exterior is unassuming & minimalistic.
Once inside though, the property has a remarkable vibe: professional elevated, quaint, & primed for R&R.
Elevators are on the slower side, although this wasn't much of a problem bc walking through the property felt nice.
ROOM (walkthrough) -- This one was a real treat.
A well-appointed room in every aspect, suitable for work, layover, or staycation. Generous on dimensions, storage, lighting, comfort, & tabletop space. The artwork was also pleasant.
I was super excited about having a balcony; people watching while enjoying a light breeze is my favorite past time.
The only weakness was AC performance. Vents are not effectively distributed so it's a struggle to warm up the unit. Work desk ergonomics weren't top-dollar but also weren't bad.
BED -- Awesome all-around!!!
Luxuriously soft sheets to slide into and a balanced firmness mattress that was perfect for my back.
The high quality pillow composition provided excellent neck support throughout the night.
Covers were clean, cozy, & retained heat well.
Great bedside tech utility for charging mobile devices too. A++
BATH -- A formidable shower experience, big enough for 2.
I enjoyed the water pressure, the quick heating temperatures, & sufficiently large towels. LATHER bath products were also a welcomed surprise; these feel great on the skin!
There's a separate vanity just outside the bathroom which is convenient if staying with a working partner.
TV & ENTERTAINMENT -- 55" LG WebOS 4k!
Crazy premium TV solution on a beauty of a mount.
The pool & shared spaces were so relaxing. And OMG, the light show from the jacuzzi was all kinds of hypnotic!
WI-FI & CELL RECEPTION -- Internet speed of dreams 😍.

FOOD & DRINK -- Extremely weak on this front. It's not DoorDash friendly.
A light breakfast offering is served at the typical hours. Convenience snacks & drinks can be purchased in the reception area too.
There's some sort of convoluted food-service-room-service arrangement but it's incredibly confusing..
It's not actually facilitated by the hotel. Not worth the trouble IMO considering there's a full kitchenette in-room.
Grocery stores are walkable so it's a great time to invest in a few home cooked meals. The mini-fridge is just a tad small though, so plan accordingly.
All essential dining-ware & cookware is provided, along with dish soap!
NOISE -- No complaints.
LOCATION -- Prime walkability for shops & such. Overall felt safe.
VERDICT
Amazing property with even better management.
I can't rave enough about how unexpectedly rich these accommodations were.
This may very well become my Sunnyvale goto.
I would stay here again & HIGHLY recommend it.
5/5 ⭐️
