Wild Palms Hotel

Had some friends stay here while visiting us. Interesting place because I had driven by it daily and never thought it was a hotel. Looks like apartments. Rooms were nice enough but I cant really think of a good reason to stay for the prices unless you aredoing something in the immediate area. Not really near anything interesting. Still get 4 stars fromme though because they seemed to try.

Good place to stay. The room was clean and nice. Restroom and shower was clean. No streaks on the mirror so that was nice. Two down sides. People are easily heard talking and walking down the hall way. The breakfast should have fresh eggs. The instant eggs that they had were not so good but the rest of the breakfast was delicious. Great house coffee. I will be returning to this place next time I am in town so I hope the eggs are fresh. Thank you staff for doing a good job.

We stayed here for six nights twice, because the hotel is comfortable for us.
Very clean place, well kept. Husband loves their breakfast a lot! I love their coffee!
We recommended that hotel to our family and friends.

The hotel was comfortable, staff was very courteous and helpful. Came for the last game of the season 49ers game. Amazing weekend! Definitely stay there again. Comfy beds, clean rooms.
Yay me!

This hotel was alright and the linens felt great.
The parking lot, hotel and everything overall just seemed kind of dim. Joie de Vivre is a bomb hotel chain overall but this location is a poor reflection.
Wouldn’t stay here again… by choice. ;)

This is a motel, not a hotel. Pool and pool area not the cleanest, but a worker was working on it. Small rooms, no elevator. It’s an old, two story motel with a cosmetic upgrade and the basics covered. Nothing super charming or interesting; it’s not funky, it’s just ok. The ‘deluxe’ rooms look right onto the parking lot. You can upgrade to face the pool.
Biggest issue = PAPER THIN walls. I can hear ever time the people next door or above use the bathroom, and every word my neighbor says on the phone.
It’s ok, but I’ll look around more next time.

Parents in laws stayed here for 15 nights, almost everyday, we get locked out from the hotel room because their room cards gets deactivated or demagnetized on its own without any valid reason. While checking out, we were informed that there was 3 long distance calls made from the hotel room that was going to be charged. These were local calls with 408 area code, but they claimed it as long distance. Since where is the same area code consider as long distance? And no one ever informed us of these hidden charges! We paid over $ 100 per night for these rooms… It’s just not worth it! Don’t stay here if you can afford to stay elsewhere!

The hotel is nice, I have no real issue with the facilities, with the exception that the 2 times I stayed there (2 – 3 nights each time), there were always at least 2 – 3 spiders and bugs in each room. It seems petty, but every hotel I’ve stayed at has never had multiple bugs in the room. The breakfast is nice, I think there were eggs, sausage, pastries, bagels, cereals, oatmeal, and beverages. Very crowded dining area, which is to be expected typically.
I was mostly disappointed in one employee’s disregard for my own value as a hotel guest. On a Saturday, I had left the hotel for the express purpose of getting out and allowing housekeeping to service the room without me in the way. I returned later that afternoon (after 2:00 PM) and realized the room hadn’t been serviced and actually skipped over, as I saw the housekeeping crew working on the rooms after mine. I went to the front desk for assistance, and there were 2 employees working. One female (didn’t catch her name), and another male named «Erik». Well, the woman did help me, and while I was in the middle of asking another question, Erik shoved a map in front of his coworker’s face on the counter, and rudely interrupted me to say «can you show this guest where her room is?» and pointed at an older guest behind me. At that point, Erik moved on to other «important» guests and I was left feeling awkwardly left out as nobody referenced me again. All in all, a decent hotel to stay at, but I’m hoping that guest service issue was an isolated incident.

Very nice cute hotel. Its not a 4 star hotel of cause but its a great place to stay for decent amount of money. I have been in many hotels in the area and Wild Palms is one of the best. I have stayed here 4 times and 1 time the pool was in construction. That sucked cuz i loved their pool. But in the end they did it so next time im there it will be even better. And trust me on this one — next time Im going to Sunnyvale — I am staying there. Delicious breakfast too.

For the price it is great. Pros. Rooms are well appointed with very nice baths with nice fixtures and furniture. Seems very very clean. Peeves. Noisy due to street noise, neighbor noise, parking lot feels like a nasty motel, it has a motel-​like feel.
At a little over $ 100/​nt corporate rate it is about 40% less expensive than the HIlton Garden Inn in MV or Larkspur in Sunnyvale. However, it is basically a glorified motel with a retro veneer on it.
I’ll stay here again to keep the expenses down. I would not come here for a personal weekend getaway. Luxury is a big stretch term used in the marketing.

I wish I opted to stay at the Hyatt House San Jose but was wooed by a cheap rate (saved over $ 80 here than the Juniper which was our friend’s host hotel for her wedding). I’ve stayed here many years ago for another wedding and had a great experience so I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to save some money.
Pro’s:
Quiet
Lather bath products
Free fast wifi
Free tasty hot breakfast (eggs, sausage, kimchi, white rice, fresh fruit, juices)
Free parking
Con’s:
Non working thermostat — had to use the manual operation
AC wasn’t cold at the lowest setting
Non working fridge
Very few electrical outlets — 2 obvious outlets in the room for guest use! Otherwise you have to hunt for another one
No black out curtains — the sun streamed in too early through the blinds and made it impossible to go back to sleep
Motel like feel — clean and sufficient but definitely not boutique and luxurious as advertised
Normally, I wouldn’t care as much if I was traveling alone. When your travel partner is grumbling — it definitely makes the experience worse.
But if you are seeking for a value place to stay and don’t mind running into non working things, this place suffices.

I really liked the layout of the hotel. Our room faced the nice courtyard. The rooms were nice. Great pool! And very good breakfasts! Good variety as well!
The walls and ceilings/​floors (depending if you’re on the first or second floor) are in desperate need of insulation. It was like your neighbors were in your own room. And as you may know, many people come in late at night.

I stayed here for five nights… I was completely floored when I arrived. It is SO adorable! Another reviewer called it a «boutique hotel,» and that’s a perfect description.
Wild Palms is very clean and well-​kept, and no detail is too small, including the very angle of the towels on the lounges by the pool, the hand-​painted murals everywhere, the fun bathroom sinks, and the palm tree print on the white sheets.
The staff was extremely nice. I arrived at 12:30 AM, and the front desk clerk came up to see why the AC wasn’t working (I was the dummy that couldn’t figure it out — it was fine once she showed me!). She even took off her shoes before coming in the room — which I saw as a great respect for keeping everything nice and clean.
The pool area, where I spent a lot of time, was very clean and there was plenty of seating in the sun and the shade. It was so nice to sit out there in the morning.
The breakfast is very filing and plentiful — coffee, four types of juices, cereal, various cut fruit, bagels, pastries, yogurt, hot sausage or bacon, potatoes, French toast, eggs… yow!
Parking was fine — even when crowded, I didn’t have to park too far away. There are restaurants within walking distance, and a park right across the street.
I almost cried when I had to leave! I will definitely be back.

nice place, I saw pics online an well you never know until you get there right ?
Well I gotta admit I was floored and wowed by how great this place looked and how clean it is.
The staff is soo welcoming, they’re excellent.
The price is good and honestly I’ve seen some more pricey places that don’t even come close to the greatness of this place.
The shampoo and soaps were the best.
They were like straight out of some store like the body shop at the mall or something, not like some cheap stuff y’know.
The tv, oh wow flat screen baby !
It was a great tv too.
The beds were are very comfy, you can bounce, roll, turn over a bunch of times, wiggle whatever your desire is and its soo nice and comfy.
The pillows are super soft, comfy, cozy, and big.
The water is quenching, yeah I bought the room water they sell in the room.
Hey I was really thirsty yeah it was three bucks, definitely woulda rather paid less but I gotta admit its great water.
The pool is soo big, clean, and inviting open till at least ten pm, that’s good.
They have a lil hot tub too which is cool and a great fitness area.
I loved the breakfast here, oh wow they had everything I wanted and could imagine.
I felt like I was in breakfast heaven.
Its definitely great hangover food too because all the people that were at the bar from the night before definitely seemed to be doing the hangover food routine and enjoying it.
Id say the breakfast definitely stands out, its pretty unique in a way and very very great.

This is a decent motel with decent rooms and decent amenities. Wifi is free which is nice and the continental breakfast is free and includes more hot foods than I expected which was also nice. There was free coffee in the room. We loved the pool and very hot hot tub.
But there were drawbacks. We don’t need an elevator, but toting our heavy bags to the second floor was not fun. The whole place has supposedly just finished renovations, but other than new paint we saw nothing amazing and the broken stair rail was very disconcerting (and dangerous).
We got to our room and the thermostat wasn’t working. So we had to adjust the A/​C manually. That’s fine, but the manual adjustment was also broken. We called the front desk and the maintenance person came out, looked at it, shrugged and said «it’s on» and left. Our room was thus either freezing or hot, depending on whether it was on or off.
The bathroom had no safety bars. Nor did it have towel racks or an extendable drying string to dry our swim suits. And the sink was nearly completely covered by the towels. This led to the maid service dropping our pills and spilling them all over the floor.
Nearly all the available outlets in the room were in use by hotel electronics except one in the middle of a blank wall. So we sometimes sat on the floor to use our laptop. And the dresser built into the closet was tiny.
Overall this is an old building and an old motel. The words «luxury» and «deluxe» do not really apply except in hyperbolic marketing copy.

This is a motel, not a hotel! All rooms open to the outside. Second, this is an old motel that has had some updating, but everything they are doing is very cheaply done, the cheapest products, very lacking in attention to detail. For example, paint drips, plastic chairs in the dining room, outdoor carpet that was dirty throughout.
The rooms are small, like old motel rooms. My bed was so close to the walls I had to turn sideways to get in/​out of the room. Fixtures in my room were broken, closet doors were broken, fridge was useless, mouse hole in the baseboard. A good example was the entrance to the property, they used nicer tile just up to the point where casual looks can see, after that it’s the old painted concrete.
Breakfast was odd. The food was fresh, but low quality (probably the cheapest they could buy). I understand that, but hold on, this is not an inexpensive motel.
Staff was nice. Room was clean. But I stayed for 3 days and they only cleaned my room once.
I did not enjoy my stay.

This hotel is well worth the price I paid on Priceline the environment is great very tropical and the rooms are EXTRA CLEAN AND UP TO DATE
DEFINITELY WOULD STAY AGAIN

Nice stay. There weren’t any shampoo or anything stocked in our room so we had to call. They were apologetic and brought us a whole bunch of stuff.
No biggie so long as it’s rectified.
There’s no fabulous views here but they try to make up for that with interior decorations. Cabana style. Kinda cheap and funny looking but I enjoyed my stay.

We recently stayed at the Wild Palms Hotel in Sunnyvale CA for three nights so we could attend a wedding in Palo Alto and spend some quality time with various other family members also booked into the hotel for the weekend.
It was a perfect place to stay. It is a series of mostly two story buildings with a center courtyard filled with mature trees and plantings and a great pool area that was very popular with the youngsters and the young at heart.
Rooms are all decorated with tropical accents and the two room suite that was ours was especially spacious with a large bath and dressing room, a nicely appointed kitchenette and a separate space to set up the laptop away from the conversation area.
One of the most comprehensive and complete breakfast bars I’ve ever been to was one of the amenities. The food was very good and it was always quite crowded for the hours it was open. Different food stations were scattered around the edges of the room with quite a number of closely spaced tables in the middle of the space and more tables on the outdoor patio, near the pool.
The entire staff, both at the front desk and throughout the facility, were extremely helpful and so friendly and welcoming. They all worked very hard to make our trip carefree and enjoyable.
The whole three days were nearly as perfect as Mother Nature and Man could make them. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for the Wild Palms Hotel and would love to go back again sometime and take our family members that didn’t get to go with us this time.

Had a really bad experience at several Quality Inns and Best Westerns in Palo Alto area so I decided that I needed to venture out into the unknowns and try a different hotel in a different city. Here in the Palo Alto area for a work conference many times and I hoped Sunnyvale would give me a better experience.
From the look of things… the website suggested that Wild Palms would be a good choice. The pictures on Expedia were impressive and the rooms were decent looking too. Canopy beds, nice baht rooms, cool pool area and even a free breakfast.
We checked in a little early (@ noon) and were happy to get into our rooms early. My coworker who was also staying there was mistakenly given a regular room instead of the king size deluxe she paid for. I encouraged her to tell them about the mistake and a quickly corrected it.
I really liked my room at first because it wasn’t directly facing the Main Street and the bed/​bath were really nice. The downfall didn’t happen until later that night.
I used the hotel’s gym one of the nights that I stayed. It had one decent treadmill, a bicycle, weights and a tv. Small but it was a lot better than nothing at all.
The walls are way too thin!!! I could hear everything next door and upstairs. The person upstairs… let’s call her or him McFatty. McFatty walked around in the middle of the night multiple times and on the second night I could have sworn he or she fell out of bed. My bed was also connected to the wall which was subsequently close to the outside gate so I could hear everyone exiting and entering the gate with a loud BANG.
I woke up several times throughout the night on several nights and my quality of sleep was VERY poor.
I don’t think I would stay here again.
