    Perfect

    Joie De Vivre Hotel offers a great value for your stay. The room, bed, and bathroom were spacious, comfortable, and very clean. The hotel provides amenities like a small fridge, Kerrigan coffee maker with pods, free Wi-Fi, and free parking. The location is convenient, close to Levi Stadium, Great America, and the Santa Clara Convention Center. There are various dining options nearby, including a 24-hour IHOP in the same building, a steak house next door with a discount for hotel guests, and a strip with small ethnic restaurants just a block away. I highly recommend this hotel for its great value and convenient location.

    Perfect

    This hotel is a great value for the money. With its affordable prices, attention to detail, and location between two restaurants in an office park area, it's an excellent choice for budget travelers. The staff is friendly and provides excellent service. The basic amenities in the rooms, even with the blinds shut, are top-notch, with comfortable beds and pillows to ensure a good night's sleep. The hotel also offers good amenities and includes breakfast, which is a convenient bonus.

    All was okay, nothing to complain about.

    Great

    This hotel has good access to major highways, making it easy to get around. It also offers a nice view from some rooms. One of the highlights of this hotel is the leisure facilities, such as the pool and gym, which are perfect for budget travelers. Additionally, the breakfast is tasty and there are several options to choose from.

    There is one downside to this hotel, which is the noise level from neighboring rooms.

    Great

    everything about the hotel was wonderful! the staff was very friendly and helpful. we did encounter a problem with the air conditioner with the room that was originally given to us. when we called down to the front desk the clerk was very apologetic and said that she would send someone up to check on the problem. we did have to wait 30 minutes and when no one arrived i called again this time i let her know we wanted to go to Great America and so we would like for someone to come soon. again the clerk was very nice and within the 5 min i had called the last time an employee came in and checked the AC and offered us another room. we excepted and within 5 min we were in our new room. i thought this hotel was amazing and we will definitely stay again and recommend to our friends and family.

    The only thing i was disappointed with was that there was no shuttle to or from Great America. Even though its about 10 to 12 min walk, after a long day at the park the last thing i wanted to do is walk back to our hotel. one other thing is that in our first room we were put in i felt like this room has been out of service for a while. there were cob webs in the corners of the room on the ceiling and when we tried ourselves to get the AC to work we noticed it was very dusty and could of used some TLC.

    This hotel is worth staying at for its excellent service, friendly staff, and attention to detail. The location is great, with two restaurants nearby. The rooms are comfortable, even with the blinds shut, and the bed and pillows are comfortable too. The prices are reasonable, and breakfast is included.

    All was good.

    Perfect

    I like the way the provided transportation services. I was taking the California Bar Exam and they give me transportation for 3 days. However, the driver was runing late the first day.

    The thing I did not like was the price about the booking online and the hotel. Firstly, someone put a bill for 153 dollars for night under my door I took it and I went to the Manager office to tell him, I booked for 5 days. Friday morning when they give my bill, I saw some nights cost $153 others cost $199. I told the front desk employee I suppose to pay $153 for each night and I left a note for the manager.
