• The grounds are spectacular, and I like the internet access and Starbucks coffee.

“I understand that Rickey's is going to be torn down; I will miss it.”

• It was an older hotel; but the accommodations were clean & supplies good.
• Not real attractive from the outside--dark brown dated color.

“For the price and convenience, I thought that it was a good deal. The room was clean and well supplied with amenities. It met my expectations for quality and price tradeoffs.”

• Treated like royalty by the front desk
• Bottom sheets pulled out when trying to get into bed

“The hotel is an excellent value. The rooms are spacious, built in the days when room size were not sacrificed for profit. It was immaculately clean and staff was friendly and congenial, even giving us a room with two beds without a hitch.”

• Really old hotel. Doesn't deserve Hyatt brand name.

“The building is really old and run down.”

• the staff was very friendly
• The room had spider webs, was extremly old without any remodeling and the bed was terrible!

“ The first time it was very noisy and accomodations very outdated, especially the bathroom. This time the room hadn't been dusted in a very long time and when I turned the heater on, it blew dust and dirt all over the room!!”

• Staff was courteous. Room was clean.
• Far from freeways.

“I've never stayed at a hotel quite like Rickeys before. It's old-fashioned, like a 30's motor court, but has the amenities of a modern hotel. It turned out to be the wrong location for me, as it's inconveniently located between the US-101 and I-280 freeways, so it took extra time to get anywhere. I could see it as a great location for someone visiting Stanford or doing business in Palo Alto, however.”

• Good location and clean room.
• Took a while to get hot water out of the bathroom faucet. Mediocre TV reception.

“Hotel is spread out more like one would find at a motel. Room was adequate and clean. TV reception was poor to mediocre and the bathroom faucet took a while to get hot water.”

• convenient location from hospital; well kept, easy to make reservations; QUIET very important

• nice hotel with easy parking
• I've stayed at other 3 star hotels in this neighborhood, and this one is not quite as nice

“hotel has lots of 'bungalow' type rooms -- which are near to parking. it's sometimes difficult to adjust the heating in the room. not all rooms have Wi-Fi, for which there is a charge.”

• Location was good.
• Not *** quality Tub drain was clogged and staff did not repair as requested so it stayed clogged the two days I was there.

“ Due to its age sounds is an issue as well. Heard all noises from above and next door to my room. Bathroom tubs/showers need to be replaced as well as faucets, sinks, etc. Needs updated if it is to be a ***.”

• Location was good
• Hotel has inadequate broadband. Very poor breakfast available, no hot entr'.

“This property should not be listed in its category. Hyatt is selling the hotel--it will be torn down and they are not resorting it. I had to move to another room to get a feeble wireless broadband signal. Dining facility and menu is marginal at best. Very disappointed.”

• Price
• Glorified Motel. Walls are too thin, you can hear everything that is going on in the next room

“Great location, great staff, tired facilities. If you like a clean motel experience, this one's for you.”
