    $8.20 Coffee (regular latte with oatmilk and hazelnut) at the on-site coffee shop

    This remains one of my fave hotels on the peninsula. Smooth checkin. Smooth check out. Amazing room service. Such a great stay. Couldn't ask for better

    Pool area very clean and relaxing

    Spent a weekend here and had such a great time. Staff was professional and friendly from the start. The hotel itself is very cute with a modern, casual, yet stylish design. The room was very clean and spacious. My one irritation was that there were no power outlets near the mirrors in the room so the only place I had to do my hair was in the bathroom itself which is inconvenient if another person is trying to get ready at the same time. Other than that it was nice. The gym there is awesome for a hotel gym. Definitely had enough equipment to have a full leg day and upper body day during my stay. While I was there they hosted a "singles mingle" which looked packed. The only thing is the singer they hired for that night was throwing the vibe off with the most random and outdated song choices. Even though I didn't come For the event I do think it could've been more thoughtful to find a performer that would bring the sexy vibe instead of whatever the other person brought. Overall though, I appreciate the presentation, cleanliness & overall experience of the hotel. I was able to check out on my phone which made everything simple. This hotel is kid and pet friendly as well which is nice. It's also in a great location right off the freeway so everything (food, bars, shopping etc) is about 10mins away. There's also a gas station right across the main street which is perfect for people traveling by car. Would recommend to anyone staying in the area.

    We love The Ameswell Hotel! Every year we come to the Ameswell to celebrate on New Year's Eve and we always have a memorable experience. The rooms are modern and very comfortable. I also appreciate the choices made with regard to the decor. Very chill ambiance and great for families (including pets). The staff here are great as well and we've never had any complaints. There are many places to stay when celebrating the coming year, but I'm always glad we choose to stay at The Ameswell. Happy New Year Everyone! Cheers!

    Undercooked steak served the first time.

    My boyfriend, mother, and I attended the "Bloody Valentine: Til Death Do Us Part" murder mystery dinner on February 14, 2026 at the Ameswell Hotel. The event was held in one of the banquet rooms and the dinner was food from the hotel. The food was terrible. The choices were undercooked steak or a burnt head of cauliflower (vegan option). We selected the steak, but 50-minutes before it was served to us we asked our server to please ask that our steaks be cooked medium-well done (little-to-no-pink/red). The steaks were cooked rare. My mother and I sent our steaks back to be cooked to medium-well done, and what they brought back to us 15 minutes later in the second photo was essentially no difference. Everyone at our table felt the same way, leaving most of their steak on the plates. This hotel didn't even put dinner rolls on the table! How cheap is that?! I genuinely felt ripped off on the dinner portion of our experience. Our server had a manager come to speak with me at our table. She apologized for the undercooked steak and wanted to know if I wanted a free drink from the bar to make up for it? I told her no to the drink. She asked what she could do to make up for this, and I told her we wanted our steaks cooked! Didn't she understand that? I don't think that's such an unreasonable expection. It's not difficult to cook a steak! If you're not capable of serving cooked beef, then don't! Our experience with the food and service at the Ameswell Hotel was terrible and I give them the lowest possible score for this reason.

    Key takeaways * Rooms are very spacious, clean and sound proof * This is a wellness hotel and sustainable property * This a great place to hold weddings, events, and corporate meetings, and this can be a great staycation or workcation as well * This is an independent hotel that is state of the art and brand new at the heart of Silicon Valley Amenities/perks If you use a travel agent, Ameswell Hotel partners with Tablet Plus and can provide the following (message me to learn more *wink wink*): * Upgrade to the next room category, based upon availability at check-in * Early check-in/Late check-out * A welcome amenity or beverage * Daily breakfast for 2 * A food and beverage or spa credit The Ameswell Hotel is a new hotel that was built from the ground up in the heart of the Silicon Valley, nearby Meta, Google, Apple and Facebook headquarters. Opened in 2021 during the pandemic, this is frequented by travelers and those in the tech world. Not far from Moffett Field and NASA Ames Research Center, the hotel is reminiscent of a hangar. The "Roger" Bar is named after the phrase that pilots say and the lighting and paint scheme walking down the hallways are the colors you would see when taking off into space. The hotel has plenty of space for events, weddings, and after a quick tour around the property, it goes without saying that the hotel rooms are spacious and there are places to lounge outdoor. This a modern luxury hotel that has wellness rooms and focuses on sustainability. The hotel engages with the community and hosts many local activities. This is a perfect stay for anyone visiting the Bay Area, looking for staycations or wellness hotels, searching for a wedding venue or planning events. It's apparent when stepping into the hotel that this is a tech hotel. Checking in can be completed through a chatbot named Ava, who can contact the guest throughout the stay for any questions or for a check-out time reminder. There is as much or as little interaction with the staff as one would like. My first impression is the warm lighting, wooden fixtures, and artwork around the hotel. Ameswell hotel definitely has a lot of character with a luxurious and modern feel. This hotel focuses on sustainability and wellness. For wellness, complimentary yoga is available to all guests and there are options to book wellness rooms. For sustainability, the pool is saltwater; 96% of products in the hotel are biodegradable and compostable; solar panels power the hotel; drought resistance; and refill bottles are provided for each guest and there are refill stations throughout the hotel. Rooms/Event Space There are several different room types, such as Premium, Wellness, Superior, Deluxe, and Suites. There are 256 total rooms, which include 72 double, 11 suites of various sizes, and 173 single rooms. Wellness rooms have Lululemon Studio Mirrors and weight equipment within the room. The Ameswell Suite is the largest of the suites and popular for wedding parties at 955 sq feet, as large as a studio apartment. The room is designed so that there is a room within a room and it can also connect to a conjoining room. Each room has Ameswell-branded amenities with organic conditioners, shampoos, and lotions from Juice Beauty. Each room has all expected amenities, such as a bath robe, hairdryer, refrigerator, kettle, work-station, Santa Cruz individual drip coffee, and tea. Amenities like toothbrushes and combs are available upon request. There are plenty of meeting spaces and places lounge within the hotel. The spacious ballroom can be split into three different sections. This is popular for tech events and weddings. There is also the Discovery Boardroom and Curiosity Breakout Room to use for meeting space. To lounge, guests can check out the comfy Ames Library and spacious lobby. Events can be booked at the beer garden and outdoor areas. Larger and longer events cost more of course, and even larger events need a city approval due to the noise. Food and beverage will cost a 23 percent service fee. The gym is equipped with everything you need. The high-tech qualities are apparent in the hotel. Pelotons, Aviron rowing machines, treadmills, and a variety of free weights. Pelotons and Avirons are not common household exercise equipment, so it would be a miss not to try them out. The gym gets busiest in the mornings. Guests are able to book massages and treatments with the Rejuv Spa. It is not a full spa, so they use a room in the hotel. The massage table is heated. Restaurants and Room Service On the property, the main food spots are also aviation themed. Dining options include Roger Bar & Restaurant, the Fly-By, and outdoor beer garden/game lawn that serves drinks and small bites for happy hour. The Roger Bar & Restaurant has delicious American fare and drink. Happy hour is served daily.

    We booked this place at the last minute and weren't sure what to expect. We arrived to dog bowls at the entrance. We have a French Bulldog and we loved that they love dogs as much as we do! We walked in to live music and a welcoming bar/restaurant area. Check in was easy and we made our way to room 305. We didn't sleep well because the A/C unit doesn't workBut they moved us to room 507 which was much better! Each room had a wooden stool in the shower so you could sit down and relax...put down a towel down before you sit down . The rooms were extremely clean, everyone was hospitable, and the drinks were good too! I grabbed a caramel latte with oatmilk and added 1 extra shot of espresso and I was in heaven! Gave 4 stars because of the issue in room 305. We will avoid room 305 and book here 1st whenever we visit San Jose!

    We came here with our pup for "Barks, Beer, & Brunch" event and really enjoyed it. The restaurant offered plenty of outdoor seating for the "pawrents" to enjoy a yummy brunch -- my friend had the salad and it looked amazing -- while the puppers got to play. They had a food truck that offered adult beverages and had a doggy menu. Oakley got a pup brew and a pot pie and he LOVED it. The brew smelled like bone broth but was sparkling. The event also helped raise money for the Humane Society, which is where we got our last two pups from, so that was great. I look forward to coming back for a stay and can't wait for their next event.

    5+ stars for this hidden gem. We are local and decided we needed a staycation and this place was fantastic! Excellent service at every touch point and super clean! Here is what you need to know: *property is beautiful and they have one full service restaurant, one coffee and quick bites place, and lots of places to hang out both inside and outside. Food was great and they have a full bar! They offer outdoor games, picnic tables, and they are super dog-friendly. *pool is narrow and long and in the sun most of the day. *rooms are styled beautifully and immaculate - you can tell they pay attention to details. *parking is $20/day in the structure with in/out privileges. *they are focused on sustainability- no plastic to be seen (which is great). *mix of business professionals and families with little ones. We can't wait to come and back!

    So Los Olivos no longer works with Good Samaritan and instead works with El Camino hospital...wait what? Is this a review for a hotel or a hospital? Well...I just had my 2nd child about 36 hours ago, and while the maternity ward is wonderful, this dad needed a room to recoup while momma recovered a second night. I found Ameswell as my dad retreat and boy am I happy I did. The reviews are spot on. This spot is a hidden gem. Every single person I've interacted with, from the receptionists, to the cleaners, and the friendly bartender at the Roger all enjoy where they work and you can really tell. The room is super clean, decorated tastefully, and thanks to the layout seems HUGE. I got the Ameswell Suite which might be a bit overkill for going solo but I default always to getting the flagship. Two full bathrooms, two tvs, two refreshment areas and gorgeous views. The bed feels like heaven (might be biased after sleeping on a foldout chair for a night). Anyhow, definitely a hip spot with lots of wonderful people lingering around. If you're a father in a similar spot I highly suggest giving yourself an escape at the Ameswell hotel.

We really wanted a cozy intimate backyard wedding vibe and that's exactly what we got here! Huge plus is my husband loves history, and you get free access to the museum for a year with a ton of other benefits once you have an event here + your donation is tax deductible. You also don't need much decor at all due to the natural beauty but we hired a decorator for the arches, stages, and table settings. Lisa will also give you a list of vendors partners you can work with just in case. Overall, she was really amazing to work with and super responsive because anytime we needed to do a tour walk through with vendors or a tour of the venue, she was there. Thanks Lisa for answering all my questions!! You can't go wrong having your wedding here. We had a spring wedding of close to ~200 folks and thank God it didn't rain but summer or even fall would be beautiful here. For photoshoot opportunities there's a ton onsite and a beautiful orchard just steps away from the museum for sunset shots. A magical day indeed.

Upstairs, there's a permanent exhibit on the history of this city, which has about 40,000 people, but still feels like a town. Overall, it's a great little museum (with free (!) admission) and about 20-30 minutes is plenty of time to explore and get an idea of the exhibits and the staff are friendly and helpful to give an overview. There's also a little gift shop by the front desk with cute trinkets and toys, as well as books and other souvenirs. You can even rent this museum for a private event such as a party or a wedding!

Birthday girl had a great time exploring, playing and eating. The team were so easy to work with from the email correspondence on my Cinnamoroll themed table vision to day of set up. The staff were super quick & accommodating when they were assisting me with the set up.

I was amazed by the speed and professionalism! If only I had this level of set up at every birthday party. Barely any dictation or answering questions was needed. What a hugeeee lift off the mental load! There's a dedicated drink fridge in front of the register that kept our drinks chilled and easy for guests to grab. The food table is nice and long so it held a lot of food & we had A LOTT of food. We opted for the photo package too which was nice because usually being the host means you're too busy to take photos and get photos taken of your family. Overall, I highly recommend this place for your little one's special event! I only wish that this place was bigger so that we could invite more friends to our event. However, being smaller means more intimate events and those who are invited should feel super blessed and lucky to have made the cut!

I think if they put a fresh coat of paint on things or maybe invested in some newer toys this place would be 5 stars. With that being said, even in its current state it's still worthwhile coming if you have small children!
