Hotels near Saratoga Recreation Department in Saratoga

As I said in the title, it doesn't get any better than this. As an old guy who has traveled extensively at home and abroad, I know whereof I speak. Is it perfect? Of course not. But to call out those things that could be improved is to be churlish. The staff's attitude and service are the best I have ever experienced. The location is charming and just a very short walking distance from some fabulous restaurants. It sits at the entrance to beautiful Big Basin Redwoods State Park. Quibbles? The rooms could use more hooks for hanging towels and clothing; blackout curtains would be a welcome addition. Don't let these minor matters stop you from staying in a facility that comprises one of the West's most enjoyable lodgings.

We live in the Bay Area and have driven through Saratoga a million times (I even went to pre-school there a million years ago). As we started to ease out of the pandemic (or hopefully ease out) we wanted a 'staycation' so we could pickup wine from a nearby winery without having to drive far, enjoy a neighborhood we don't spend much time in, and visit Hakone gardens. The hotel has recently been updated, and everything was very refreshed. Service was delightful. The hotel was extremely clean. The location - right on the creek - was peaceful and idyllic. The bar was open that evening which was a nice extra, and there was an espresso rickshaw in the parking lot on Sunday morning. We accidentally left an item behind, and they reached out to us to let us know. Another great example of great service. Would cheerfully stay again.

The greeting you get on arrival and any questions you may think will obtain a response probably has already set the tone, but in going back to your room you will be happy. Let the place clear out of the strong cleaning fluid odor....at least you know it is clean. Try to get a spot in the back as it seems less noisy there. the home run here is the comp breakfast which is as good as any in this chain or any other. One lady tends to the place nicely, always clean, well stocked and way beyond what you are expecting. Even a chatty group who seemed to all be attending a quilting show. The rub here is the location and yet if you go just 6 blocks down Camino Real you will fine yourself in Sunnyvale.....very hip and stuffed with excellent dining and accommodations. You do not need to look for Sunnyvale, you can tell as soon as you cross from Santa Clara.

I stayed a total of 5 nights at this hotel, I've stayed before, but only a night or two at a time. This hotel has potential to be much better. I had some issues during my stay and almost left, but Paul (front desk) and Esperanza (cleaning attendant) definitely changed my mind about cutting my stay short. Paul was so amazing! No matter what issues I may have had, he was always friendly, accommodating, and never ever made me feel like a bother! Esperanza was such a delightful person. She came to clean my room and was so nice and helpful. I hadn't experienced service like this in a while. These two individuals truly are what customer service is and they are such an asset to this hotel. Unfortunately, there is no fridge in the rooms, the shower barely gets lukewarm, decor is old and outdated, the restaurant isn't open for lunch or dinner and tv's could use a tech upgrade i.e., smart tv.

Excellent hotel with excellent location, extremely clean & comfortable . Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by the friendly reception staff, she made our trip more interesting with her advices & tips about the city, supermarket ,shops, restaurants bars, etc. I would highly recommend this hotel to everybody! It is a true sample of excellent hospitality. Thank you again reception staff for going just that little extra step for us!!!

Clean and easy access, plenty of good parking. the only thing I would recommend is to have paper plates so we can take a muffin to the room and better creamer in rooms since we were staying in outer building. Beds were very comfy. Good breakfast options! Seemed to be safe area as well with many amenities accessible.

Don’t expect to get any rest at this DoubleTree. We booked a hotel room for 3 nights. Room 201, the East wing of the hotel, right next to the retail shops (Marshalls), and above their delivery dock and industrial trash compactor. The rooms were nice & clean. However, you will not be able to have a restful stay at all. Friday night, we were awakened at 3:30am, by a big rig truck, delivering or picking up something. Not sure if it was working for the hotel or the retail, but after this, it was not easy to fall asleep again. Song with this nuisance the doors below us (staff entrance) would open and be slammed non-stop for the next hour. Saturday morning we told the front desk staff about the issue. They said they would move us on the other side of the hotel, but they had to wait for guests to check out (which they assured us they would have) and they could hold a new double room for us. We told them we would be back later after our event, to get the room. Later that day, upon returning to the hotel around 4pm, we came back to the front desk, there was new shift working the front desk. They told us they did not have a new room for us, and that they were fully booked, and were “prioritizing large groups” and did not have a new room for us. Extremely disappointing! Nothing we could do. The next issue was Monday morning. Awakened again, by the hotels laundry delivery service truck at 6am!!!! Rolling his Containers into and out of the truck, using the load lift gate each time. The rooms should be made sound proof, with sound proof windows as well. The hotel should also have an agreement with the retail businesses to not disrupt hotel guests with their deliveries and use of the trash compactor in the middle of the night! Bottom line, the fact that guests could not have a restful nights stay at a hotel, is not good for a hotel! I mean, isn’t this the main purpose for hotels?! For guests to be able to sleep comfortably without disruption?! So beware of this HUGE issue if you decide to actually book a room with this DoubleTree Hilton Hotel.

Cupertino hotel is a great hotel. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Heated pool so you can swim or like me workout in water all year round , plus a jacuzzi. Has its own little ecosystem with trees and plants accompanied by few birds that visit. Happy hour and breakfast. Location is 45 minutes form San Fransisco and only 10 minutes from San Jose city centre. Next to it is ready shops for all your needs , restaurants.

I have stayed one night twice in this location. First stay, the FOH was getting trained, focus was on checking me in the computer. Second visit, quick check in process, friendly staff, forgot to write my room number nor mention it to me, good thing I saw in app after parking. $18 on site parking either open next to hotel entrance, or in a gated covered lot. The room has a modern look with the vanity separating the bedroom and bathroom. The 1 king bed room has frosted walls/doors with no locks for the shower and toilet, not a fan of the frosted look because it does not look clean for me. The vanity had motion sensor lights on the bottom. The shower has both a shower head and has a rainfall shower system - pressure was both appropriate, strong for the shower head, moderate for the rainfall. Behind the vanity, facing the bed was a floor to almost the ceiling mirror - still don’t know how I feel about this haha. I do like the modern feel. The bed felt comfy. The room could be cleaner. There were some hair strands next to toilet and there were a couple under the duvet. There was a green stain on the water flush and a dried visible stain on the counter by the sink - we typically bring cleansing wipes to clean our room regardless but cleanliness definitely could be better. Great sized tv and desk available as a working space. Side note: it’s right next to 10 Butcher’s which is an upscale kbbq place pricey but yummy!👍

A great hotel check-up, super classic and elegant, with the feeling of a royal residence, the room is spacious, comfortable and quiet, and you can see squirrels and hummingbirds at any time. Although the hotel itself is not big, the surrounding environment is also a peaceful rural feeling like a fairy tale cottage. The hotel is on the side of the highway, but it’s not noisy at all, and there is no sound at all. I went to the airport after staying for one night. I went to San Francisco International Airport for half an hour. . Comparing the smallness of British and Japanese hotels, I strongly recommend this large and beautiful hotel.
