In December, I was a little scrambled trying to figure out what to do for my birthday, and I…read morehonestly couldn't have landed in a better place. One night while I was at the bar, Victor, the manager I often see there, told me about the Christmas experience on the rooftop and suggested it as a great spot for a birthday get-together. He was absolutely right. The rooftop at the Valencia Hotel was perfect. It felt like a true winter wonderland. It was beautifully decorated, cozy, and festive. There were specialty Christmas cocktails, delicious hors d'oeuvres, and even whiskey tastings where you could sample different varieties. They had heaters everywhere and plenty of blankets, which made the whole experience warm and inviting despite the chilly weather. The service really stood out. The staff on the rooftop was just awesome. They were attentive, kind, and consistently checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. My friends had an amazing time ordering from the holiday menu (whether custom-created or seasonal, it was spot-on), and the overall vibe spot was a vibe! This was truly one of the best experiences I've had in a long time, and it made my birthday feel special without being stressful. Huge thanks to Victor and the entire rooftop team for creating such a memorable night. I'll absolutely be back--and recommending this place to everyone.

My sister and boyfriend got a hotel for the weekend for her birthday. After dinner we all went back…read moreto the Valencia BARand all 12 will NEVER GO BACK. First the bartender told my sister she can't sit on her boyfriend lap. Second they are WAYYYYYYY OVER PRICE.... Third bartender told my sister to to change the light back to blue. They have little laps on the table that change colors and she put it to the bright regular light so she can see and I told her to change it back to the dark blue.. It was my sisters birthday in and one of our friends end up drinking a little too much dancing a little loud, not rude, or being like the bad guy a troublemaker, but they kicked us out because she was too loud . so if you're trying to have a good time, lots of fun and not being picked on do not go to that bar.. the energy in there a little more was almost we were to go to be there and we did not appreciate that we just wanted to drink. Have fun and celebrate. And my husband made that bartender apologize to my sister is the one that told her to get off her boyfriends lap .

We were told check in was at 3 pm, by 3:30 we still did not have a room but had a fussy baby who needed to nap. They were finally able to get us into a clean room by 4 pm. We dined at the Fountain Restaurant two mornings in a row, if the hotel knows there is an event happening during a weekend, I would hope they would plan in advance to provide enough employees to cover the breakfast rush. These employees were clearly overwhelmed and frustrated in their situation, as were the patrons. It took forever for tables to be turned, orders to be placed and food to be delivered. I felt we were patient with the staff, but two of the women we interacted with were short and annoyed with the guests. As far as the room, it was basic, but pretty spacious which was welcome with the pack and play provided for our toddler. Blackout curtains worked wonderfully for his sleep which was a big pro, and our bed was comfortable. I was a bit confused why there was a toilet flushing mechanism like those found in a public restroom as opposed to a bedroom bathroom (no handle). When anyone showered, water would leak out from the side onto the floor causing puddles.

The Four Points by Sheraton was conveniently located near "Christmas in the Park"…read more The rest of our party had booked at the Hilton that was a block or so away. Upon check in I was greeted & thanked for being a rewards member. There is a $42/night self parking fee; which I had seen online. We were able to park in their small front lot that has 4 parking spaces (one reserved for checking in). They have a larger private lot at the driveway prior to the front of the hotel. The hotel is conveniently located near many eateries as well as things to do; but be aware you are on a one way road when entering this hotel parking area and you will need to do a loop should you need to get to their overnight lot. Our room was on the 4th floor; it was clean well kept & quite. Despite being in the city surrounded by commotion, it was quite and peaceful in our room. We heard one neighbors door slam and the bells of the trolley cars going by down stairs. The bed was not the most comfortable thing; but not bad at all. I would stay at this location again if in the area.

I initially enjoyed my stay, the hotel was clean and staff members were nice. The room was clean…read moreand the only thing that was minor was that the makeup mirror on the bathroom wall looking like it was going to fall off and the light switch attached to it did not work. The self parking was okay. We checked in before finding parking and we used the room key to enter the parking lot instead of paying for parking. The elevators were pretty cool and unique as it's a digital tablet where you can preselect which floor you need to go to before entering the elevator. This is where things start to go down hill for me... I was woken up around 3am from a lot of people in the hallway talking. Sounded like they were going up and down the hallway. Not sure that the noise was for but it was going on for about 30 minutes. I was woken up again around 4am but people banging on a door nearby for 15 minutes. And to think that was the last of it, I was woke up AGAIN at 5am with continuous knocking and opening/closing of doors for about 30 minutes. Very unfortunate that occurred throughout the night but definitely ruined my experience here as I woke up with a headache due to lack of sleep. Not sure if I'd want to come back again.

In addition to your usual furniture, there was another sink, dishwasher, microwave, and a decent sized refrigerator. There is plenty of free parking outside. There is free coffee and tea all day. Breakfast is complimentary, however limited. They had waffle makers, some breads, cheese/egg/sausage patties (to make sandwiches), hard boiled eggs, yogurt (via a dispenser), dairy milk (no non-dairy options), oranges and apples, and a variety of juices (pretty bland). Service seemed fine, although I noticed when we walked towards the breakfast area the two staff members standing at check-in were kind of glaring at us for a good couple of seconds and I just said, "Good morning!" and then they responded with the likes...just seemed like they were bored or didn't want to be there. If I was in the area, I'd consider coming back!

It's been a looooooong time since I have experienced a truly enjoyable hotel stay. I must have…read moredriven past Element 100 times during my trips to Milpitas and this time around, I booked a room. I was greeted by a very friendly and capable pair, Diane & Diane who were more than happy to tell me about the hotel. Usually, at other hotels, I am greeted by a very blank faced reception with minimal conversation, so this was a very nice change. The room was fantastic with a complete kitchen and very nice living room with a wall mounted TV. The bed had a great mattress and for once, I didn't wake up to a sore body from a typical hotel bed. They have free happy hour and tea time to go along with a nice breakfast. This was a 5 for 5 stay and the only bad thing I can say is I wish I came here long before this visit. Needless to say, Element will be my go to stay whenever I am working in Milpitas/San Jose.

Some of the kids were really loud and rowdy... my whole room was rumbling and shaking for about an hour at night because those kids kept running up and down the halls. They were not pleasant to be around. Breakfast time was also crazy... dozens of families with kids trying to get food... and some kids are pretty unsanitary the way they grabbed food... and some kids were wasteful too, I saw lots of good food get dumped or left on the tables after they left I really liked the hotel and would go again. I just hope we don't happen to stay with a bunch of sports families again bc it was a bit stressful for me being around that community. I think the hotel staff should've tried to place all the non-sports-team customers far far away from those customers that came all together, to avoid the noise issue. I did not rest well. Gym was clean. Pool was small but nice for kids to play around in. Hotel was a bit older but everything was in good condition. Breakfast buffet had a great selection.

Loved this hotel!…read more Pros: Room was spacious. Beds were very comfortable. Rooms were super quiet! TV's were sized for the room! Pool was clean. Saltwater is a great touch. Healthy eating options (Chipotle, Chick-Fil-A, etc.) in walking distance. Target in the plaza across the street! Complimentary Breakfast Buffet. Workout room was adequate. Very close to Levi's stadium. Cons: Internet was a tad bit slow for being in Silicon Valley. Parking is paid. $17/night. We have not had the need to pay for parking at any of the other Hyatt houses and Hyatt places before. Silly, I thought. The plaza had cautionary signs about car break ins and safety every 20 feet. It was odd and a little scary that they had to put close to 20 placards at this small lot.. All in all, we would stay here again. Comfortable, quiet, pool, Breakfast, etc.

Our in-room air conditioner is ok but is having difficulties maintaining a consistent temperature but we're adapting ok. The room has all the basics and is a little small, but will do ok.

The room comes with a kitchen. I worked remotely and the desk and ergonomic work chair were perfect, I loved that the TV swiveled so if I was working or in the bed i could view the TV. I called for engineering as the TV didn't turn on. The remote lit up but, the TV wouldn't respond. Engineering was there within 5 minutes of my call.it too about 25 minutes to fix but it was no issue. There is breakfast served in the morning which included , tortillas, eggs,sausages, potatoes, rice, batter to make your own waffles, rice, boiled eggs, hot oatmeal, instant oatmeal, dry cereal, yogurt, bread, juice , water and coffee. There is an eating area or you can eat in your room. There is a swimming pool and a fitness room. There is a parking charge in their parking garage of $15 per day. I would stay again.
