Central Portola Valley Hotels, Portola Valley

"They said breakfast ends at 10 am but wasn’t serving any at 9am. Claims no smoking but the hotel room smelled like straight cigarettes. Didn’t let us know we had to pay a $125 deposit "

"We had a comfortable room with plenty of space. We especially liked the walk-in shower. There was a table with two chairs and another padded chair. There was a nice balcony overlooking the pool. Breakfast was a selection of pastries, muffins, fruit, cereals and coffee and juice. No hot meal was offered. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend this hotel."

"Yes"

"Clean, comfortable, shuttle service and morning coffee a plus! "

"Clean room, clean bathroom and shower but if your looking for breakfast it's only coffee and some kind of bread. Do not expect eggs, bacon, pancakes or any kind of hot food. Parking area very limited."

"Need new mattress "

"The hotel is generally great. I’m a retired airline pilot, and I’ve stayed at a ton of Hiltons and a host of other places. I have to address the noise from the airport: of course, jet engines are noisy. Hilton Bayshore has the perfect ‘white noise’ machine right in the rooms in the form of an in-room air-conditioner with a powerful fan. Only problem is, there’s no method for keeping the fan running. So while it’s heating or cooling, the fan runs, but when the selected temp is reached, the fan shuts off. Then all the noises from the airport, and the rest of the hotel, come into play, especially planes taking off. And the self-closing doors close slowly until the last six inches of travel, then slam shut. I’m about the only frequent hotel guest I know that takes care not to allow my room door to slam shut, in case anyone’s trying to sleep. The hotel staff, especially Oscar, who’s been there for like a gajillion years, are fantastic."
