Design-forward hotel with the amenities one expects from Silicon Valley
A central Sunnyvale location near many Silicon Valley offices -- as well as the complimentary shuttle that transports workers there and back -- appeals to business travelers, while nearby recreational attractions bring in the leisure crowd. Signature Joie de Vivre style is not forgotten at the Domain Hotel: The Northern California-inspired motif has even won a hotel-design award. High-tech amenities such as complimentary wireless Internet, flat-screen TVs and iPod docking stations remind guests they're in the heart of Silicon Valley.
Highlights:
- Winner of the 2008 International Design Awards from Hospitality Design Magazine
- Adjustable firmness Sleep Number beds
- Free high-speed Internet access
- Complimentary weekday shuttle to offices within a 10-mile radius
Rooms:
Design inspiration comes from Northern California's natural beauty. Tranquility Rooms feature a soothing blue color palate and a subtle lavender scent, while Awakening Rooms have a hint of a lemongrass aroma and forest-green accents. All rooms feature 32-inch flat-screen TVs, modern furniture, iPod docking stations, Lather bath products, complimentary high-speed Internet access and Sleep Number beds to accommodate guests' mattress preferences. Suites also boast Jacuzzi bathtubs.

Business travelers are pleased by a 24-hour business center with both Mac and PC workstations and a free shuttle that services companies within a 10-mile radius of the hotel on weekdays.

Beside the fact that the jacuzzi and pool was near a busy street , the hotel service was excellent along with the easy access in business center to print off airline boarding pass free.

Standard, mediocre at best
I wouldn't recommend staying here, given the awkward art deco theme and weird interior design. The location is also flat-out terrible.

Anonymous hotel guest
Great hotel, great value
Modern hotel with tasteful, well-furnished rooms and thoughtful details. Food is great; had most experience w/appetizers & cocktails. Sleep number beds were a pleasant surprise! Free wi-fi, really nice soap, and they seem to often have food/drink offers, which is nice. Great philosophy & business model here & good staff. Underground parking is very convenient, as is the hotel's general location. Pool & spa are nice; fitness room is tiny but has most of what you need (but if it doesn't, you have complimentary access to the fitness place across the street). Room rates vary but this place is an outstanding value compared to nearby similarly priced hotels in the same time period.

great hotel with such low price
It locates within walking distance to many restaurants, its facilities seems fairly new and clean. Overall style is quite modern and pleasing to eyes compared to other hotel chains. With such low price, we were surprised to find that mattress firmness can be adjusted with a touch of button. Although we are not picky sleepers, it is nice feature to have.
