    The Hotel was amazing. But the food blew me away. Everything on the menu was amazing and the service was great. Perfect atmosphere for being in a Hotel.

    Torn towels
    Steffie P.

    I expected a true 5-star experience, but this stay fell a bit short. While the staff was kind and welcoming. The complimentary glass of sparkling wine at check-in was a nice touch. The room itself needed attention. The towels were torn and the bathroom faucet was loose, which was disappointing at this price point. I specifically booked this room for the amenities. Since there's not much to do in the area, I had planned on staying in my room the majority of the time to relax and unwind. I was disappointed when upon arrival I was told both the bar and restaurant would be closed the entire duration of my stay. It really impacted the experience. The property does have a sauna, steam room, and a heated pool, though I didn't use the pool due to rainy weather. They also have bikes however, we were unable to use them due to them being in use the whole weekend. Overall, great staff and potential, but maintenance issues and closed amenities made this feel less than 5-star.

    Complementary wine

    Wow, for sure a hidden gem! Love the attention to details. First, I got greeted with complementary sparkling wine. Felt taken care of. Secondly, the aroma and amphitheater was delectable, as the scent and lighting set the mood. The lobby area was clean,classy,and modern. The pianist sounded nice and the bar was really great. Shout out to the bar tender, he knows how to make a good lemon drop. Lastly, the room and its amenities. DAILY TURNDOWN SERVICE. That's right day turn down services. They take care of you! From slippers, to high quality tea, and to included water bottles, the hotel staff makes a weekend getaway feel a lot more luxurious. Aside from that, the room and its bedding to its lighting settings, sets this hotel apart from any other place. Looking forward to coming here again.

    Shashi Hotel is a great stay and conveniently located in Mountain View! Close to the Shoreline Amphitheater, Google HQ, Meta, NASA and Microsoft. Across the way is the Century Theater and down the road a 7-11 and the freeway. Travel to and from this hotel isn't too far from the major airports, SFO and OAK, but SJC being the closest. I appreciate the free parking with complimentary EV charging, access to their gym of free weights, treadmills and Pelotons. Other amenities include access to their hot tub, sauna and steam room, as well as bikes to get around the area. Service was kind and cordially from check-in and housekeeping was timely and pleasant. Appreciated the turn down service. The rooms themselves feel elevated and modern. Clean, quiet and no weird odors. You can adjust the temperature accordingly, change colors of the lighting for ambiance, play music that's soothing for sleep with a wake up option on the TV. The latter seems very considerate for light sleepers or those with babies or children. Wasn't able to use the extent of the amenities, but enjoyed the gym and helped myself to some coffee at their little coffee shop downstairs. The hotel itself wasn't exactly bustling over the weekend, but it did have a fair share of guests. Highly recommend for those visiting from out of town if any of the mentioned areas are a destination for you and out of it's sheer convenient location being pretty central to the peninsula and south bay. Would also make for a good staycation, I do wish they had spa service here. Great room rates as well!

    their initial email to me

    Do NOT stay here if you want them to STEAL your valuables and have the AUDACITY TO GIVE YOU ATTITUDE!!! Would give 0 stars if I can!!! They replied to me and changed their statement as to what actually happened. First no one went into the room, now they did!! I've stayed at Shashi Hotel in Palo Alto around 5-6 times and had made it my preferred hotel because of its location and past good experiences. Until this visit, I never had a single problem -- so I expected professionalism and care. During my recent stay, some of my personal trading cards (worth $100s!!!) went missing from the room. When I reported it, two front desk employees insisted that no one had entered the room and repeatedly claimed that staff "does not steal." They gave my boyfriend the key to check the room himself -- which he did -- and sure enough, the cards were gone, though the bag they had been in remained. What shocked me the most was the attitude of the front desk representative, Ariana, during a follow-up call. Instead of acknowledging the situation, she was dismissive, condescending, and mocking. She repeatedly told me that "the hotel does not steal" and accused me of being "disrespectful" simply for describing my own items as stolen. She refused to provide management contact information at first and claimed not to know if the hotel even had a policy for missing items. The tone of the call made me feel belittled and defensive, even though this was entirely the hotel's mishandling, not anything I did. After I escalated the situation and said I was going to file a polie report and a lawsuit, a supervisor called a few hours later and told me the items had been located. This only highlighted the inconsistencies: multiple staff had told me no one had entered the room, yet somehow the items were "found" after my escalation. At no point was I informed whether hallway security footage was checked, and I never received names of staff who accessed the room. While the items were ultimately recovered, the experience was extremely stressful and frustrating. I felt disrespected by staff, completely disregarded, and forced to chase down answers for my own personal belongings. I cannot understand how a hotel can allow this level of unprofessionalism and audacity toward a loyal guest. I hope management at Shashi Hotel takes this seriously, improves staff training, and implements clear policies for missing items. No guest should ever feel blamed or mocked for reporting missing property. UPDATE AFTER REPLY: What is especially concerning is management's public response to my review. They stated they handled the situation professionally from the beginning -- that was not my experience, and the recorded call reflects that. They also claimed the bag was placed in a "trash bag," which is inaccurate; it was a regular paper bag. More importantly, their response referenced housekeeping access, which conflicts with the repeated assurances that no one entered the room because checkout was at 1:00 PM. If no one entered, how were the items moved? If someone did enter, why were only those specific items removed while the room itself remained uncleaned? The shifting explanations are what undermine trust. While the items were ultimately recovered and I withdrew the police report, the stress, dismissiveness, and contradictory statements made this an extremely upsetting experience. As a returning guest who had stayed here multiple times, I expected professionalism and transparency -- not defensiveness and changing explanations.

    you can change light colors!

    absolutely my favorite place for a weekend getaway! they started by giving us sparkling wine at the front desk, there was live music playing when we checked in, and the hotel itself smells just like gaiac wood. we also tried the restaurant and the bar, in my opinion, the food was more exciting than the drinks, and our seat could have been in a better spot. my favorite part of the stay has to be the room itself, they provide robes, a fridge, a safe,...but the TV is massive! and you can do a lot more than just watching it (changing the screensaver, the lights color in the room, set music, request items...) i find their app also very useful, but the mobile key might be tricky to use. will definitely come back! we still need to try the pool, sauna, and the gym! no rating yet cause i have tried everything.

    I was fortunate to be able to stay here for a work trip and the location can't be beat. It was a 20 minute drive in from the San Jose airport and 6 minute drive from downtown Mountain view with its myriad dining spots. The hotel itself is new (built within the last five years) with an interesting architecture and LEED certified building. The warm wood tones and steel mix are nice through the lobby and the wood tones (I believe laminate is the flooring for the rooms) are attractive. Half of the rooms look out on the open courtyard. Parking is easy with a garage connected to the hotel and complementary with the rate. The mattresses are nice and firm and housekeeping is not only kind (I couldn't sort out the cooling system and they were quick to help) but also offers a turndown service. If we ever travel back to the area for a personal trip this would be my hotel of choice.

    Free spa with showers, sauna, and steam room. Also has lotions, oils etc.

    Awesome hotel for a quick staycation. Reasonably priced. Nice n Quick check in. Free car charging which is a huge plus. I looooove when hotels have robes and slippers. The pool area is really nice. If you drink alcohol you'll love the outdoor bar. We had a quick dinner at the restaurant. I had the braised lamb shank and Omgsh it was so delicious 10/10. Quick drive to the movie theater. We didn't have breakfast there but we should have. Next time for sure.

    Stream lined, clean, tech forward, cool and trendy. We arrived very late to this hotel. The concierge greeted us very warmly. She took her time to advise me on what was available for food and amenities, such as sauna and spa. The aesthetic here is sleek, not barren. It's still lively over in the bar area. I can see from the front desk there are private spaces for meetings. This area is definitely part of the Silicon Valley epicenter. Very convenient. Our room is well appointed. The bed is awesome!!! So comfortable! Enjoyed a great sleep. Every detail is thoughtfully put together here from sheets to soaps. I had a grain salad for breakfast with a perfectly jammy egg sat on top. The coffee is light and citrusy. Service is exemplary here! Looking forward to future visits.

    Absolutely lovely hotel that is my go to for all work trips! The staff is stellar and always beyond helpful. The rooms are light and clean and simple but not in a way that feels cheap. Plenty of plugs for all of those on a work trip. The gym is really nice and they even have a sauna and steam room. The bar area seems super hip and the hotel houses the fantastic restaurant, Broma! Truly my favorite place to stay when I'm out here.

    My experience at Shashi was amazing! Parking: free Hotel lobby and service: Clean, modern, and they had an Asian style twist to it. The service was impeccable. I felt so fancy staying here Room: The room is spacious and clean. The sheets were nice and thick as well. Their shampoo and conditioner smelled amazing, and they also gave us slippers to use. The pool/gym/sauna: I love how they had different amenities. My friends and I definitely used them all. There weren't too many people when we went, so we had the jacuzzi all to ourselves. Beforehand, we grabbed a drink at the bar that's located next to the lobby, and they placed our drinks in a plastic cup so we could bring it to the pool area. They have a dry and wet sauna, which I've never seen before. It's usually one or the other. There was a shower outside near the pool and also a bathroom and shower inside the sauna area. The gym is a good size, not too big, and had the basic equipment needed. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and will come back whenever I need a staycation.

    My friend usually stay at "TET.." hotel. She said that hotel is more high end, but when she found out that they started charging parking fee for $22. She said let's try another hotel. Lol!!! End up we found this one. Here are the things that we liked about Shashi: Free parking, free bikes, free bottles of water, it had a hot tub, a sauna and a steam room, free slippers, shampoo, conditioner, soap, q-tips and etc. That means we don't need to worry about bringing this and that. We enjoyed our time in Shashi. We saw some family taking their kids to the pool and hot tub day and night. They are happy and had lots of fun. :)

    See all

My six-year-old and I spent the weekend there celebrating my birthday. Upon check-in, I discovered that they had upgraded our room to the King corner suite which was a fabulous surprise because the room was exquisite. Very large accommodations. Modern but cozy. We had a lovely sitting room that had lots of light with floor to ceiling windows and the bedroom looked out onto the entrance of the hotel. I booked our stay directly through the hotels website because they offer special packages and pricing. So I went with the luxury package which included two splits of sparkling wine. A nice way to start our stay. I also booked a massage which was easy to add on during the booking process. I opted for a 60 minute Swedish massage and it was exquisite. The bathroom in our accommodations was perfect. The bathtub was situated next to a lovely shower. So my daughter was able to take a little bubble bath while I showered. The hotel seems to be very secure, considering the lobby doors close at about 9 PM I believe. And the only way to access any of the floors via the elevator requires you to use your room key on a scanner pad before you are able to press any of the floors. It definitely gives a sense of security and safety. The pool is quaint, but perfect for a dip and some tanning. In order to place orders with the bar for drinks and food, there are menus where you scan a QR code. I did find it a bit of an issue so I opted to just walk up to the bar to place my orders. The luxury package I booked also included a late checkout for our day of departure. Usual checkout time is 11 AM but the late checkout is at 2 PM which is very nice. However, I unfortunately, had to go to the front desk to have our room keys adjusted to reflect our late departure time. Our room keys were first disabled at noon and then again at 1:30 PM. This was a bit of an inconvenience to be honest. If our stay included a late checkout at 2 PM, our keys should have worked without needing to be re-scanned twice. My only gripe about our stay is their restaurant, Roger. Our first meal there was Friday night when we checked in and it was definitely our last. The restaurant is vast, but luckily it wasn't busy. However, that did not help with the level of service we received. Once our order was taken, we never saw our server again. I assume she clocked out. But unfortunately, our table was not transferred to another server. So after my first glass of Prosecco, I was never offered another drink, and neither was my daughter. Once our food came out from the kitchen, and I noticed that nobody was tending to our table, I had to get up and go to the stand to ask for dessert menus. Besides the terrible service, the food was nothing to write home about. It was actually surprising how un-appetizing it was. Including the dessert, which should've been easy, considering it was just a brownie baked on a chocolate chip cookie. But it was hard like it had been refrigerated because it had been cooked and then stored. Since the server our table had been transferred to was not coming back, I just got up to leave. And I was going to let the people at the stand know our room to charge our meal. Absolutely atrocious. However, when the manager at the check-in desk asked how my stay was and I mentioned the terrible service we had, I noticed that our Friday night meal was completely taken off of our bill. Which I did not expect, but extremely appreciated. A very nice gesture. After our experience at the restaurant, I understood why I was seeing DoorDash drivers show up with meals for guests at the hotel. All in all, I will most definitely be staying at this hotel again. I just won't be frequenting their on-site restaurant.
