Hotel Valencia Santana Row

Category: Hotels

12/27/2011 2 Check-ins Here

I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was well-decorated and very comfortable. Everyone on staff was polite and friendly. The corridors have an odd, industrial look to them but who spends their time in the hallways? There are also many meeting areas and nooks on the floors so you can hang out at a place that isn't a bar and it's the high-traffic lobby.

Very cool vintage boutique. This is a great spot for picking up gifts and it's good for normal home items too. They have women's clothing and I don't have any opinion on that as I don't wear such stuff.

Love, love, love this place for breakfast. Mmmmmmmmmm! Good menu selection and very tasty coffee. Sometimes it's pack here and other times not so much. I think the people come in waves. That's on week days. I've never been here for brunch on the weekend so I can only image how packed it can be. The prices seem a little high to me but they're comparable to other breakfast nooks in the area.

Subway

I first went in here for breakfast service and was very underwhelmed. I've since gone back and had regular subs and been satisfied. The staff seems to know the definition of open and friendly, though I'm not sure if they really GET open and friendly. Being on the West Coast, sourdough is one of the bread options. That's new for me because that's not on the menu in DC locations. Other than that, it's a Subway and it delivers what I expect.

Valley Fair Food Court

Category: Food

12/23/2011 1 Check-in Here

This is a large, Asian-heavy food court with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The Korean spot is one of my favorites. There's also frozen yogurt, cookies and cinnabons if you need to take care of a sweet tooth. There's also a McDonald's which seems a little out of place given the rest of the cuisine, but sometimes you have a Mac attack and there's no other way to take care of that.

I stopped in to get the buttons on my Pea Coat fixed. The lady behind the counter was polite and helpful. Turn-around seems to be zippy and the prices are good.

Sur La Table

A little on the expensive side, but if you're looking for something for the kitchen, you're likely to find it here. The store is large, but it packed with stuff like the home of a deceased hoarder. There's just enough room to walk through the isles. The staff is always friendly and they seem to know where everything is. This includes obscure new items, like the Slow Juicer, about which I've stopped in to ask.

Westfield Valley Fair

Category: Shopping Centers

12/23/2011 4 Check-ins Here

This is a big mall, which is great for mall-walkers like me. The store selection is descent. The food court is a bit skewed towards Asian cuisines. There's also an outdoor terrace for eating at said food court. That's pretty sweet.

On the lower level, the people working the kiosks can be pretty aggressive. They're polite but they will jump over anyone with a pulse.

Some aspects of the mall layout are strange. There are two Macy's and two Express. They're split by the catered-to gender. I.e., one is men's and the other is women's. The Men's Macy's is also where the home and kitchen department is located.

There's an Apple Store AND a Microsoft Store on the other side of the corridor. Both are big and busy.

What this mall does not have is a movie theater or a book store!

Chili's Grill & Bar

This place is right around the corner from me so I frequently order online for carry-out. Every single time, my meal has taken about 30 minutes longer than what the online ETA told me. Two times my order was wrong so I had to walk back to deal with that.
Other than that, the people are friendly. The food is consistent. I don't see anything "wrong." I just have had less-than-awesome experiences with the carry-out service.
