An island getaway in the heart of Silicon Valley.
Proximity to nearby attractions such as Shoreline Amphitheatre, Great America and the Winchester Mystery House make Joie de Vivre's Wild Palms Hotel a prime Sunnyvale choice for leisure travelers from near and far. Meanwhile, the business crowd likes the more relaxed island ambiance as a reprieve from the hustle of Silicon Valley. Open-air courtyards, lush, garden-like landscaping and vibrant murals create the perfect relaxing backdrop for cocktails in the Soleil Lounge.
Highlights:
- Fun Mediterranean decor
- Complimentary continental breakfast
- Free wireless Internet throughout the property and guest rooms
Rooms:
The 208 nonsmoking rooms at the tropical-themed Wild Palms Hotel Sunnyvale bring the outside in, with canopied beds and a color scheme inspired by ocean corals, seashells and island spices. Work desks are equipped with two-line speakerphones and free high-speed Internet access. Coffee-makers, refrigerators, CD players and cable TV help guests feel at home, while complimentary amenities such as Aveda bath products and a daily newspaper (Monday through Friday) pamper them.
Features:
Two outdoor courtyards -- one with a heated swimming pool and hot tub -- and an open-air lobby create a tropical resort ambiance. Business travelers can take advantage of the business center and its T1 Internet connection, the poolside office cabanas, or the same-day laundry valet service. Vacationers enjoy the lending library of games and books, and everyone appreciates the free on-site fitness center, concierge services and free parking. In-room dining is provided by Order Inn, a service that brings local restaurant meals to your hotel room door, and a continental breakfast is available free of charge seven days a week.

Really went the extra mile!
My wife and I were celebrating our 25th anniversary in Monterey CA and stayed here the last night on our way back to the airport. The reviews I read about this place were spot on. The staff was very friendly and even gave us a free room upgrade for our anniversary! The hotel is a bit old now, and the room we stayed in could probably use a fresh paint job, but very comfortable and reasonably priced. I would probably stay here again if it were a little closer to the places that we actually went to while in that area.

Friendly and well-appointed
I liked the cheerful yet elegant decor; top notch cleanliness and helpful staff. Very close to San Jose airport as well as some surprising neighborhoods in San Jose. Work out room, swimming pool and quite nice breakfast. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent overnight stay
The hotel grounds and our room were well taken care of, decently spacious, and clean. We had a room on the second floor, and there was no elevator (only stairs); this did not present a problem for us, but if we had mobility problems, I definitely would've requested a room on the second floor. All in all, a great place to stay for an overnight trip. Very close to I-280.

Quiet, relaxing
Staff was great. My son and I stayed for three nights and had no complaints. Our room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Breakfast included hot and cold foods. Fruit baskets in lobby were always filled with fresh fruit. I would definitely stay here again.

I'm Wild About Wild Palms
My company's HQ is 1 exit away from the Wild Palms and that's critical for me. This is a fun, clean, quirky hotel that's super cheap for 3- or 3.5-stars. Large outdoor pool and hot tub. Decor of room is California/Florida/80s, but who cares? Good size rooms with large comfortable desks. Free hot breakfast; eggs, bagels, sausage, pastries, cereal, etc.
