Element Santa Clara

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel is very nice, room was nice. There was a miscommunication with cleaning our room, so it only got cleaned once in a 5 night stay. But we can work with that. Breakfast was great and the staff and the breakfast were very pleasant. Not a whole lot within walking distance, but a Starbucks in the same parking lot. Not sure why you have to pay to park in a hotel that isn’t in a downtown area? $18 a night. Would stay again."

Delta Hotels by Marriott Santa Clara

10/10 Excellent

"My room was in the tower - it was huge, well-thought out and well-appointed. It felt more like an apartment. It was extremely quiet and the black-out curtains didn't leave gaps ;) Pillows were excellent quality. The food and coffee options in the lobby were also excellent. I'm going to use the heated pool next time!"
