Affordable Silicon Valley accommodations with superior amenities
Renovated in 2006, the Holiday Inn Express & Suites Mountain View has more amenities and style than guests might expect from such an affordable hotel. Room features such as whirlpool bathtubs and free Wi-Fi are surpassed only by property amenities such as a heated outdoor pool and hot tub, complimentary business and fitness centers and a free hot breakfast buffet offered seven days a week. Proximity to Silicon Valley businesses, theme parks and universities only add to the convenience factor.
Highlights:
- Free high-speed Internet in guest rooms
- Complimentary hot breakfast buffet
- Heated outdoor swimming pool and hot tub
Rooms:
Renovated in 2006, the guest rooms here are outfitted with contemporary-style furnishings, neutral-colored bedding and new carpeting.

Free high-speed Wi-Fi is available in each room, and weekday newspaper delivery is also complimentary.
Features:
Guests wake up daily to a complimentary buffet with hot breakfast dishes, coffee and juice. The on-site business center lets corporate travelers put the finishing touches on presentations, send e-mails or fax contracts from the comfort of the hotel. A nicely landscaped courtyard features a heated swimming pool and hot tub, while the fitness room offers cardio equipment.

Breakfast was not satisfying, but the room was great.
The room was clean, comfortable and well suited for us, but the breakfast was very disappointing. The orange juice tasted like water and the selection of foods was very limited. When we checked in there were freshly baked cookies available and they were delicious. The TV in the room was small and not HD. Our room was located facing EL Camino Real, but we couldn't hear any traffic noise.

decent hotel for a short business trip
Not as clean as I expected. There was hair in the bathroom. Complimentary breakfast is decent. The pool was closed with no reason. Far too expensive for the value provided.

Don't Even Think of staying here!
Worst experience of our lives. Traveled with family - 2 kids, wife and I. Right from the get go we had a bad feeling of how this would go. The front desk lady suggested a bigger room since we had lot of luggage. Not sure if this was the largest room they had, but it was tiny, compared to our experiences at a Marriott or Country Inn. The light in the bathroom went out at night. The manager came to replace it with a bulb that wouldn't fit. He didn't even have a ladder to get up. The next day our room keys stopped working - after re-keying 3 times, they had to replace the battery on the door opener. The room carpet was dirty with hair everywhere and dust in the corners. We were forced to check out early. Not recommended for someone used to a regular Marriott, Hilton, Country Inn etc. especially for longer stays with family.
