This is strange hotel. I stay in Starwood properties often, and I do like W brand. The problem is that hotel doesn't really represent W brand. It is looking more like Hampton Inn from outside, and not much contemporary design and cutting edge touches from inside. Location is not good. It is on other (East) side of the Dubmarton Bridge,...

I have stayed here twice and both times were great. Incredibly accommodating staff, just call the front desk if you need anything. I actually forgot my razor one trip, and the front desk sent one right up to my room along with some shaving cream. Excellent rooms, they don't feel like your typical hotel room, but more like a nice... More

This W Hotel is located on the eastern side of the San Francisco Bay. It's not as swanky as other W hotels, but finds a nice balance. It is perfectly based, if you are here on business in the Silicon Valley, e.g. Facebook, which is just 10 minutes away. It is not a good location for San Francisco sightseeing trips:... More

How would you like to fly across the US and get to a hotel with just sleep on your mind and not have your reservation honored? This has happened to me twice at this hotel. I will not give them an opportunity for a third time. The first time it happened the hotel manager called me and promised it would... More

I am a frequent business traveler, and have gold member status at a competitor brand, yet I ALWAYS stay at this W if I'm anywhere near this area. I have never been to a hotel so committed to ensuring my stay is perfect. They are responsive to all concerns and truly value their guests. I love this place! More

Not in any way up to the level you would expect from a W hotel. In general the whole place is rather dark, dismal, with a rather heavy atmosphere. I had a bad experience my first night (a Saturday) due to a private party that had more or less taken over the hotel, and a disco which kept me awake... More

I love W hotels so I really wanted to like this place but.... -When you stay a W you expect a cool bar scene. Not at this hotel. Bar was closed before 11 PM. And there is nothing else right there so it's not like you can walk down the street to someplace else. While I was there 2 other... More

The place is pretty beaten up and needs a refresh...That's the first issue. The second is the location - it's not really in the Silicon Valley; it's well north and really "East Bay". More

Let me start by saying that I'm Platinum with Starwood & Gold with Marriott so it goes without mentioning that I stay in a lot of hotels. Avoid this one if at all possible.

I'm guessing that the place is busier during the weekend because of all of the surrounding tech companies (Logitech within walking distance, etc) but for our Friday/Saturday night stays, it was delightful. So many hotels on weekends evenings can be loud with wedding and other events being there - but not this property, at least not when we were there.... More
