What a great find for both business travelers and for families alike! Close to Silicon Valley, Stanford, and a host of other places travelers may wish to go. They have excellent amenities and very reasonable prices. The staff are friendly and efficient. The rooms are spacious and very clean (I like to say “you could eat off the floor”). The... More

One annoyance though was that there was too much noise from water in flush and sink. At one point I thought some construction was going on and... More

I have been going to this hotel for years - yes, its not the fanciest in its neighborhood but it's always been clean. I've always stayed for work - it's about a mile from my workplace and very convenient. There is not a lot to choose from next door- one restaurant that's changed hands 10 times or so. But if... More

I was very disappointed in the Hotel Aria in Mountain View, Ca. The Internet and WI-Fi was extremely unreliable; either could not connect or constantly dropped. This hotel is in desperate need of upgrades. The furniture and tv are old and outdated. The carpet is filthy. I needed to wear my shoes as clean socks became dirty after crossing the... More

The staff is friendly, the room is clean, the location is good, and the price is better than most hotels in the area. It was not a problem for me, but guests should be aware that the two-story hotel does not have an elevator. There is free wi-fi in the room. I would stay again.
