8 reviews for Larkspur Landing Hotel
Just got back from another two night stay at the Larkspur. Although I've stayed there 20+ times, I am always impressed with the comfort level of the hotel. From the friendly and attentive desk staff (especially Wendy, who always remembers us with a smile and a kind word) to the plush bed, full kitchen, free Internet access, free continental breakfast (bagels, muffins, waffles, cereal, fruit, hard boiled eggs, etc) everything at the Larkspur is top notch.
Also,the rooms are very quiet guaranteeing you a good nights sleep.
The staff was great. The breakfast was a great selection. Everything was very neat & clean. Nice rooms. Plus FREE parking.
My reason for the low rating though has to do with their beds and one other item.
When I stay at a hotel it is generally always for pleasure, so I like to make sure I am going to get a good nights sleep. I do plenty of reading on a hotels site, before making my decision. After reading Larkspur's writings about their feather tops, etc, as well as reviews I decided to give Larkspur a try.
Boy was I disappointed. I paid almost $180 for 2 nights of very uncomfortable, restless sleeping because the bed was not just firm, but hard. The feather top was less than an inch thick. I put the comforter under the sheets in hopes of adding extra cushion, but that didn't help. What a bummer!
My other reason for the low rating was the fact that their elevator certificate or whatever you want to call it expired in April. That concerns me, as I know that this should be taken seriously. There are major fines for not following the rules & making sure your equipment is up to par. That in and of itself let's me know that someone doesn't take my safety or the safety of other customer's seriously. It is because of us they have business in the first place.
Also hope nothing happens to you while there. I burned my finger while there and they didn't even have any ointment, aloe vera or anything to help me. I ended trying and using toothpaste, which BTW really helped:)
With that said I do not plan on staying at another Larkspur hotel again.
My family and I stayed here for a weekend while in town visiting my sister. Check-in was a breeze, the staff was ultra-friendly, and our room was comfortable and extremely clean! During check-in, I asked them to supply a crib for my one year old, and it was already in our room within the few minutes it took us to make it up there.
My only (minor) complaint is that the hallways smelled a little musty, but given everything else, it's not enough for me to deduct a star. I would definitely stay there again.
We were just passing through Sunnyvale after visiting relatives this Memorial Day Weekend. My honey said, "pick a hotel", while we were driving through. I picked the well lit Larkspur Landing on Mathilda Ave.
* Check in was no hassle and they even gave a AAA discount.
* It was clean, quiet and had free tea and hot chocolate in reception.
* The room had a full kitchen, refrigerator, coffee maker, sink, bottled water.
* The room was very clean and the sheets were 300 thread count comfy.
* Enough towels, soap, shampoo, nice flat screen TV and a perfect room temperature.
Very comfy & clean ~ I liked it!
We used to throw parties in these suites all the time back in high school. The place is right off the 101 Mathilda North exit and right next to a Denny's, so breakfast or your 4th meal is near by. There's some salsa or Cuban club or something across the street too.
I recall these suites costing a little over $100 a day, but make sure no one throws up on the floor, or you leave a non-smoking room smelling like smoke, cause they charge your credit card a $100 cleaning fee if you trash the room. The suites with balconies on them are especially nice.
These suites are ideal if you want to throw a small get together or party with around 10-30 folks and have no other venue to do so.
Just fill the bath tub with ice, place your drinks on top, and set the hookah on the balcony and you're all set. Just don't be too loud, because the noise travels through the walls pretty easily. I believe we had a few noise complaints back in my high school days.

Had to do a quick night over before a seminar at the cow palace. What a lovely place. I'm just sorry we didn't have a bit more time to stay. Stayed on the fourth floor, the room and the rates were phenomenal!

My company put me at Larkspur Landing for a month when they relocated me from Austin. I liked it there so much that I considered just living there long-term. LOL, but of course that could get kindda expensive... The staff all knew me by my first name and they were always helpful and courteous. The free breakfast was dope, pretty damn good Coffee for a motel bar. Oh and the coffee is free all day too, which is great coz I'm kindda a caffeine addict.
I had a pet with me and they were able to arrange an exact time and day to service my room so I could go walk him when they were in the room. It worked out well. There was a problem with the direct billing and they were able to take care of it right away.
Only complaint, I guess, is the lack of a swimming pool and the workout room was a bit of a joke. But that's just how it is in most motels...
They are also rated highly at http://TripAdvisor.com, btw...

Me and the fiance hosted a small christmas dinner last year at this hotel. Friendly staff/service. I liked the inside of the hotel room! The kitchen looks better than the Milpitas Larkspur. I kinda felt bad because I was hording the free apples and cookies at the front desk!
