The hotel itself is lovely. It is in a very walkable area of Santa Clara. Four things that can be Improved upon. 1) ensure all rooms are in working order. The coffee pot was broken in that. It spilled water all over the counter and floor, but did not make coffee. The shower was a little backed up, which meant you were standing in a puddle of water while showering. The bathtub stopper was broken. If you wanted to take a bath, you could not. 2) Train the front desk personnel a bit more. The front desk didn’t have a lot of answers. They were nice, not extremely helpful. 3) Coordinate front desk and valet. We called the front desk to have our car brought up as is the protocol when checking out. We waited about five minutes and were approached by a valet person. He asked what kind of car we had. When we told him what kind of car we had, he said it would be about five minutes or so since we had just put in our request. We told him we called and put in our request at least 15 minutes prior. He showed us his handheld device that said we had just put our request in. Obviously, he was wrong and he was nice about it, but, this snaffu made us late, picking up our daughter. 4) Offer customers something to make up for the imperfections of their (our) stay. Anything small; a $50 credit, a room upgrade for “next time.” Anything. Something would be nice to make them (us) feel like coming back.
