USA : Silicon Valley Hotel Review :  – Crowne Plaza Palo Alto, San Jose, California

Crowne Plaza Cabana Hotel is located at Silicon Valley, if you are thinking of doing the Silicon Tech tour, this is a great hotel to stay. I stayed here for a night as I was doing a day of Silicon Tech tour in Silicon Valley, visiting major IT companies such as Google HQ, Facebook, Apple, HP Garage, Stamford University and Computer History Museum.

Once you entered the hotel, you feel relax and with welcoming ambiance. The hotel is newly renovated so you can tell it’s very new and spacious. It has newly renovated hotel rooms and suites, meetings and event space, dining and leisures ameminities.  I have a good walk around this huge hotel and shoot plenty of photos for the hotel review.

Beautifully carpeted spiral stairs to go up to second level.

There are also few lifts to go up to higher floor.  We stayed in second floor and used the lift to go up because we have big suitcases.  Below picture showing hotel rooms in second floor.

Hotel Room Review

The room color is not all white, one portion of the wall is orange so it make the room a bit vibrant.  We have 3 pax sharing two king size bed.  The beds are firm and come with clean bedsheets.

The room has also come with a small flat screen tv, coffee & tea maker, a small working station and a fridge.

Bathroom Review

The bathroom is very clean and it has all the basic stuff a traveler needs. The lighting in the bathroom is also bright enough for me to do my makeup.  There is also an additional make up mirror.

I gotta’ say…. the inside looks pretty boring to me, but the outside certainly makes up for it. I could lounge by that pool all day.

Looks like a place that has it all for everyone who is in transition. …a little something for everyone. I love the piano in the lobby – perhaps upon a lucky visit, we’d get to hear someone play it too! ☺️ Xo, Evelyn, PathofPresence
