Categories

Cleanliness
8
Several guests explicitly praised clean rooms and quiet accommodations; a few reported ants, an initial room odor and trash-area smells near some doors, so overall cleanliness is good but inconsistently applied.
Service
7.5
Mixed reports: multiple guests complimented friendly/helpful front-desk staff and an early check-in accommodation, but there are also serious service failures (rude staff, cancellation mishandling, breakfast denial), indicating inconsistent service.
Location
9
Very strong positive theme — convenient location near stadium, shops, supermarkets and free parking cited repeatedly; ideal for event attendees.
Room Quality
8
Rooms described as nice, clean and appropriately sized; some issues noted (firm mattresses for some guests, squeaky bathroom/shower doors, occasional noise from a generator, and isolated pest reports).
Amenities
6
Amenities are uneven: one review praised downstairs amenities, but multiple guests reported the pool was closed/unavailable and breakfast access problems, reducing perceived amenity value.
Value for Money
6
Several complaints about extra fees (early check-in fee, expensive bottled water, double charges) and being denied included breakfast when booked via third parties, lowering perceived value.
Food and Beverage
6
Repeated issues with breakfast (denied for third-party bookings, kitchen reported closed earlier than guests expected) and limited F&B availability; one-off positives are limited.
Overall Experience
9.5
Many guests reported an overall positive stay due to location, cleanliness and helpful staff; however, notable negative incidents (service failures, closed pool, pests, noise) make experiences inconsistent — overall still skewed positive for many visitors.

Okay. The front desk clerk was not as friendly as I hoped.
Pros:

The room was nice and clean. It was close enough to the football stadium.

Cons:

We were told we could not have the free breakfast offered because we booked through a third party site. They offered breakfast only if we paid full price. Hilton reward status did not matter.

Pros:

The staff, amenities downstairs, room size and location to Levi's Stadium

Cons:

The bed was a bit uncomfortable for us but it may be because we're used to softer mattresses vs firm. There was an odd smell when we first entered the room but it went away over time

Really good stay, would stay again if they fix the doors.
Pros:

The convenience and cleanliness.

Cons:

That water was $3.00 per bottle and that there was a terrible squeaky bathroom door and bathroom shower door.

Not good!
Pros:

Good location and free parking.

Cons:

$75 fee for early check-in. My room had ants. There was a loud generator noise that went on and off all night outside our window. The access door to my room was right next to the trash cans and smell was awful. There were also multiple homeless people hanging around the area where we parked our car. It was disappointing that the pool was also closed.

Servicio fatal
Cons:

En la aplicación decía que podía cancelar sin ningún cargo, quise cancelar la segunda noche que la compré por error y no se pudo. Hice mi salida al día siguiente del check in para cancelar la noche siguiente, y regresé a las 2:30 para decir que ya había enviado el Mail de cancelación y me comentaron ahí en el hotel que me comunicara de nuevo con booking que no se podía cancelar booking no contestó el Mail y lo peor que me comentaron que tenía que pagar por cancelar y cuando les dije que ya no que ocuparía la habitación. Que ellos dijeron que ya estaba lista. Subí a la habitación y ni siquiera estaba lista me hicieron esperan casi 40 minutos para pasara a la habitación, yo si pude esperar y ser paciente y al otro día que incluía desayuno gratis. Baje 9:50 am me estaba sirviendo un café y me comentaron que no podía desayunar que ya estaba cerrada la cocina. En verdad muy mala experiencia aparte que quería usar la alberca y estaba cerrada. Pésimo servicio del personal.
