2 reviews for Marriott Residence Inn-Palo Alto-Los Altos
I'm the first to review it as a resident. We were relocated to this area, so stayed there for 6 weeks, yes, 6 weeks!
Overall, great place to stay, especially for extended visits.
We loved it. Let me break it down:
+ The people who work there were all super friendly. Friendly to us, friendly to our kids, friendly to our dogs!
+ The breakfast is very nice. you get tired of it, but there's plenty close-by for when you want a break (e.g. Peets, Good Morning)
+ The dinner happy hour is great. A beer and some snacks are real nice. it was better for the kids, but no complaints here
+ The pool is heated and very nice. our kids loved it
+ The sport court is great - i loved that!
+ underground parking is convenient and safe
+ the internet is fast and works great
+ they have a bbq for all to use! we used it often.
+ the housekeeping is great, such nice folks
+ walking distance to quite a few places
the few dings:
- the fitness center isnt bad, but the a/c barely works, so the gym functions as a sauna
- the tv selection is ok, the remotes suck. no HD content, but they spent on HD flatscreens, a pity.
- no unlimited local calling, that's real lame for a long-term place like this
This review is for their meeting room space.
I run a bazillion events for a software company. I've had to use this Marriott for trainings in 2007 and 2008 and I'm sad to say that we're no longer using this facility. Our office moved to Sunnyvale :(
-Note that their meeting room is quite small. The most I've ever hosted in here was 30ppl classroom style. With that said, the venue is clean and quaint.
-Rocio (my account manager) was also a HUGE help. Quickly responded to all my emails. Always available on-site. She knew every single time what my event required and was always on top of it.
-Food & Beverage: my attendees were always pretty happy. Can't complain here.
One bad note: location isn't the best. I prefer to host these types of trainings at venues located right off the freeway for easy access. Dealing with El Camino at 8:30AM is NOT FUN.
