3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 April 2013

Stayed for 5 nights on a business trip. The room was very noisy, probably from a fan above on the roof (I didn't have the air-conditioning on). Loud constant humming all night, I didn't have a good sleep. Internet connection was not very reliable and slow. And don't count on the limo service, it was never available when I needed... More

I have recently given quite many good ratings but if the hotel just happens to be extremely good, and you have nothing to complain, isn't that the right thing to do? The room was spacious, breakfast good, free transport to the office, free drinks and snacks during the happy hour between 5-7. If I get the opportunity to visit Sunnyvale... More

We were pleased to take advantage of the excellent weekend rates at the Grand Hotel for our recent trip to San Jose and stayed in one of the hotel bungalows for two nights. The hotel staff was very pleasant and professional and the bungalow was comfortable and well-equipped with a small kitchen. We enjoyed the complimentary guest happy hour and... More

I stayed here for a couple of nights while on business. The rate was competitive, the room was big and comfortable, the bathroom was clean and modern. The breakfast was fresh with a lot of variety, and the service was impeccable. I had full days with transportation arranged so not having additional amenities at the hotel such as a gym... More

This hotel focuses its attention on the business traveller, and I have nothing but good things to say. I've read some of the more negative reviews, and true, they don't have a gym, but a run in the residential area behind the hotel is beautiful. Car rental within a 5 minute walk, and public transit right outside the door. Free... More

The location of the Grand hotel is pretty good. It's on El Camino Real and it's pretty close to some of the major offices in the SV/MTV/SJC areas. The rooms were bit of a disappointment though. The ambiance was dated, and the room felt pretty dingy. The breakfast was also a bit of a disappointment. It was the standard spread... More

I had to stay as the client has this as their provider hotel. Its a mainly business hotel but it has no facility to print. It has no fitness room - a deal at some local club 1. 5 miles. The better place is Fitness 24 hours. They think free is good. The bar is dire - giving out free... More

Don't waste your money here. Our San Francisco based company works in Sunnyvale often for business and every time we've stayed here something has gone with our reservations. I was guaranteed a King room and ended up in a double Queen on the first floor, next to the kitchen and the bar. My window faced into the parking lot where... More

I've stayed at the Grand three separate times for business trips and also booked hotel room blocks for groups. The service has always been excellent and the rooms are larger than the usual hotel. The bathroom is large and I had a stall shower and super large bathtub. Double sinks and lots of counter space to lay out my toiletries.... More

I stayed here on business Aug 30 & 31. When I checked in (early afternoon) they did not have a room ready for me so I received a free upgrade to a suite. It was well more than I needed and quite comfortable. Another review indicated the complimentary breakfast is above average. I agree. I would have no concerns about... More
