The hotel staff are the best! They go beyond to help people have a nice stay at Zico! I initially got a nice big room with big balcony doors on the first floor. But because I am a bit claustrophobic, I went to the front desk to check if I could switch to a room with a window. The girl at the front desk was so kind and helped find a bright room with 2 big windows! When I checked out, I left my apple pencil on the bed. I didn't notice until I flew back home. After calling to the hotel, they not only helped look for my pencil, but also shipped it to my address free of charge! A shout out to Richardo, Donn, Lupita and Joanne! Also the custom-made eggs at breakfast is delicious! Try it when you stay at hotel Zico! read more

HEALTH CODE VIOLATIONS, worst hotel stay of my life! I had the most unsanitary hotel stay of my entire life when I stayed at Hotel Zico. The bathroom floor was covered in blood! Streaks of it everywhere. I was horrified. What's worse is that Miguel, the front desk manager, said that there was no blood in my room because they inspect their rooms first. He said this AFTER I showed him my photos. Can someone please explain to me how the blood got there and why Miguel is implying that I'm a liar just because he's too cheap to issue a refund?!?!?! I've worked at The Sheraton, Holiday Inn, and two other small hotels and I have NEVER seen a guest treated the way that I was treated. How can a manager deny someone's claim when they have photographic evidence of it?! It's so strange. Miguel says his staff said there was no blood in my room. Um, of course they did! Why would they self-incriminate themselves and claim responsibility? I have far better things to do than to cut myself and bleed all over my bathroom. It's pathetic how insulting and stupid that allegation is. Don't stay here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are plenty of hotels that don't treat their guests like trash that they don't care about, and there are plenty of hotels that are not right next to a busy freeway! read more

What a cute hotel! Yelp community...you are so right! What a cute, cute place! The decor was beautiful, the rooms are very nicely decorated and the breakfast in the morning was oh...so....good! The "common" area living room...what an awesome concept! I love the open balcony's on one side of the building! There were double doors that opened onto the veranda and they had a table and chairs! Very nice touch! The chandelier hanging in main area and the nice touches around this boutique hotel with paintings and class was really, really nice! The bathroom was cute, loved the sink! Very cool! The only thing is that the bath tub shown some wear and the bath mat had a patch of "black stuff" on it! Thus I didn't use it! The amenities in the bathroom was a nice touch! I would definitely go back here again! read more

Only stayed here one night - probably won't be back. This stay was a good reminder of all the things I take for granted at Marriott properties. I really tried to like this place but too many things were off. The good: ample parking, decent location, relatively quiet, nice decor. The bad: persistent bad small throughout hotel (mixture of old food and mildew), very soft mattress, horrible internet performance, mold and mildew in bathrooms, linen had visible stains, vanity faucet was artistic but did not shut off and dripped all night, noisy hallway conversations. read more

Super cute place. Not high end but very nice. I stayed here for several nights on business and will definitely stay again. The front desk staff is great. Especially Britta. If you are looking for a place to stay on the area, I highly recommend Hotel Zico. read more

A solid 4 star hotel! Much better than many I've been to and I was booked here via Hotwire.com! We got a corner room on the 2nd floor and even though the hotel is right by the freeway and main street, the noise wasn't bad. The room was large, spacious and the King bed was extremely comfortable! It is equipped with a large plasma screen TV, a refrigerator, microwave, ironing board, full length mirror and...... (the first time I've Ever witnessed this item in a hotel room....) not just a regular old coffee maker made from the 80s or 90s but a..... KEURIG COFFEE MACHINE!!!! With capsules included. Aaaaaaand it worked flawlessly! The bathroom was small but very chic with a cool looking clear bowl as the sink! Complaint about the room? Not much except I thought it was weird that they hid the fridge, microwave and coffee machine inside the closet - took up half the space of this little closet and barely left room to hang your clothes!! Fortunately, we were only staying one night and didn't need to hang anything in there so we didn't care. I suppose it was better cosmetically to stick these in the closet. So the free breakfast............... I don't know how to describe it............. it was simply amazing. MUCH better than any standard free american breakfast at Any Hotel I've experienced and there was so much to choose from! Eggs were made from real eggs and cooked nice and fluffy - not grossly runny nor rubbery... bacon was tasty, orange juice was fresh and coffee was delicious. They also have an omelette station where you can customize your own omelette and have it made fresh. My other only complaint is that the front desk rep checking in wasn't the most friendliest person but he did his job, allowed minimum pleasantries with us and checked us in within ten minutes. read more

This is just a two star hotel??? What we liked most of all is that this is not a cookie cutter hotel, it has personality. Service was excellent and the bed super comfortable. We did not notice the noise some complain about. Quibbles: It was listed as having a coffee maker and did not. Towels were plain cheap. They were meticulously clean as was everything else but thin and better towels are not that much more expensive. Still, we will stay there again and would recommend it. read more

Came to Santa Clara to watch our Dallas Cowboys play and stayed at this hotel in Mountain View we checked in and were greeted by Madison at the front desk. Very nice and courteous. Room was awesome and comfortable read more

I'm basically writing this because of Donn at the front desk. He was literally the best concierge I've dealt with ever at a hotel. We accidentally booked a date in the future from our arrival time. Donn, was SO nice and down to earth. We called the company we booked the room from and Donn was super accommodating and down to earth about our issue. He offered us their TV upstairs while we waited for the booking company to call him back. The hotel is amazing and the rooms are extremely nice for the price. You get complimentary makeup remover wipes, shoe shiner, eye mask, nail file, and q-tips, as well as the normal necessities like shampoo & conditioner in the room. We also have a fridge and microwave. The hotel is well kept and the rooms are very clean! We will be coming back just because of the amazing service we had here. Donn definitely needs a raise, he was awesome!! read more

It is my first time staying at this hotel. Great hospitality and excellent client service. Brita was super and attentive to all customers including myself. read more

So we ended up here when some work was being done in the house. The Zico is one of those older best westerns or whatever that have been given a face lift so they can try to run with the big chains. They fit that niche between the more expensive big chains and low rent places you would never take the family to. It's got a Mediterranean make over - bright blue bathrooms, cool sink, other little things to spiff it up. But it is what it is. I booked the same day and for a room with two beds, it set me back 128 bucks. The goods Clean, well maintained Comfy beds Seemed to be a professional clientele Good, free wireless Internet Free breakfast Tucked away location that seemed very safe and underground parking, not that you need it. Quick walk to the lobby from the parking lot The so-sos While they do have a good breakfast spread, the day I was there the bacon and sausage seemed to have been cooked hours ago. I was wondering why that was because breakfast started at 6:30am and I was there at 6:50. The not so goods If you get on the front side of the hotel, the road noise from 85 is loud. Based on the price I don't know if I can give it a 4, probably should though. read more

This hotel is a real gem! The rooms are clean, spacious, well equipped with a mediterranean flair, while the prices are a real bargain - especially for the Silicon Valley area. In addition Brita at the reception is always super helpful! And they have usually a free chocolate chip cookie in the room!! ;-) read more

It was a great place to stay during my business trip. Nice bedding. Clean room. Easy parking. Brita was at the front desk and checked me in. She gave me great suggestions for where to eat, their happy hour and breakfast. Thank you to Brita... Will definitely stay again. read more

I loved the decor and grounds of this hotel. The rooms themselves felt a tad stuffy, but we arrived late at night so it didn't take much to fall asleep comfortably. As many have noted, the waterfall sink in the bathroom is a nice touch. We were able to make it in time for breakfast in the morning, which was surprisingly good. The woman working the omelette station was working incredibly hard to make sure everyone got what they ordered in a timely fashion. It was pretty warm near her station, so hopefully there's something that management can do to make that position more comfortable for her or whoever else is working it. Pay close attention to the signage so you don't miss the turn and end up having to loop around like we did. read more

From when I walked in the door it felt welcoming and brita made me feel st home she was very nice and knowledgeable about every aspect of the hotel. She is one of the best front desk people I have encountered. The hotel itself was very nice clean rooms and everything you need that you may have forgot. I will be definitely coming back. read more

The hotel is super nice AND inexpensive for the area! The price may be due to the current COVID-19 situation, but even when compared with other hotels in the area at this time it is priced around the same as far less fancy motels. The staff is very friendly and professional, and they have taken very clear and careful steps to maintain infection control during this pandemic. Thank you, Hotel Zico! read more

Three stars at best and that is generous. Mold on the ceiling, "business center" that didn't work to print, and incredibly noisy location. read more

Brita at the front desk was awesome. Very helpful on where to eat and places to go. Hotel is in a great location.

Consistently one of the coziest, cleanest, and coolest places to stay in the area. Thoughtful staff, savvy policies, and outstanding parking + location make this space one of the best values I've come across. read more

I must say, this is a pretty cool hotel. Rooms are nice and come with TABLETS? Awesome! My boyfriend and I got to pick 2 snacks from the "store" for being VIP Expedia members. Free breakfast from 6:30-9:30, I slept in too late I wish it went at least until 10! read more

This was a great hotel to visit. The receptionist Brita was awesome, kind and very helpful. I will definitely come back.

I thought this place was really great. It has a cool Mediterranean feel and unique decor. The bed was super comfortable and they had two types of pillows - soft and firm - which I thought was a nice touch. The breakfast was buffet style with an added omelet bar where someone cooks for you. They have direct TV in every room with multiple HBO channels! It's pretty close to Stanford - maybe about 15 minutes - and even closer to Castro St. All of the staff I talked to were super nice... even when I accidentally locked myself out of my room! And finally, there are a lot of outlets, which doesn't seem like a big deal until you stay in a room with not enough. My room didn't have this, but a lot of rooms have nice outdoor areas with patio furniture. If you're coming from eastern California, it's a little tricky to get to - we ended up going through 3 loop exits. Not sure if that was the most direct route. Anyway not a big deal, just something to know ahead of time. The traffic noise didn't bother me at all, but that may bc I'm used to a noisier environment. Also the fitness center has mostly cardio equipment, 2 balance balls, an all-in-one machine with lat pull down and that type of thing, and a few small free weights. read more

This hotel is simply amazing!!! I loved every minute from start to finish!! The staff is so friendly!! Brita checked us in and I'm so impressed with her! I just can't say enough about this hotel! Stay here!!! You will not be disappointed! read more

I probably checked in around 8/9pm-ish and I actually stayed back in June of this year. Breakfast: FREE!!! I thought the breakfast was a nice variety. Your usual coffees, orange juice, milk. Then you could have toast, eggs, cereal, whatever. Room: Keurig machine in the room with tea and coffee capsules already there. I loved how there was a small fridge. I've stayed in plenty more expensive places that didn't offer a fridge. FREE internet. I think my remote for the tv didn't work, but i just watched things on my laptop from the internet. The TV did work, I watched it in the morning. The bed and pillows were great and the bed was huge and comfortable. The hotel is seemingly a converted older hotel to look modern. I love what they did with the place. My price was great (from hotwire), but I do wish every hotel I stayed at was this comfy with so many amenities. The bathroom shampoo and soap were nice smelling. Not the cheap stuff from a motel 8! When I needed a snack there were no vending machines, but there are a number of snack items and various beverages that the front desk sells to you. I would love to stay again if I am ever in town again. The place is right by a highway, but that's more perspective based. I didn't mind the noise, some people might. They had eye covers and ear plugs in the room to help that. I loved the place. No swimming pool, but oh well. I am not sure if there is space. But it was not the reason I stayed here anyways. I liked the Mediterranean decorations personally. =) read more

Left at 8:15 in the morning. Came back at 5:30. Room's not made. When I call and they send housekeeping, she literally says to my face that 'it's not my problem' that the room was not made up earlier. WTH!!! Would check out immediately, but somehow my refundable and cancellable room has turned into non-cancellable so they won't refund any of the $2200+ paid to them. When I go to the front desk to speak to the manager, he can't be bothered to respond and I'm told I have to wait for him. Lousiest hotel I've stayed at, esp given their rip off rates. Booked last min so didn't have much choice for hotels this trip. STAY AWAY!!! read more

In town for a couple days for work and was plesently surprised when I was greated by brita at the front desk. She was very helpful with recommendations and very pleasant to talk to with her quick witty banter when our paths would cross during my stay. The room was very nice but what's with the fridge hidden in the closet with the microwave. The bathroom tried to be modern with a old feel in it. Linen and towels were nice and clean and fresh daily. Brita at the front desk took very good care of me and my random requests like lotion in the middle of the night for one of my newest tattoos I had just got. And she had a very nice rack I wouldnt mind checking into next time. Over all very nice outside sitting area beautifully lit and cozy with a nice gas fire pit in the middle of the court yard. read more

Hostess Brita is amazing. She is so kind and sweet, she makes me want to go and book with this hotel again . Very welcoming, I recommend making her the face of Zico. Awesome atmosphere and. Great staff. Brita is my favorite hostess so far. read more

This hotel is a great find. From the moment I checked in I felt welcomed, Brita at the front counter was wonderful. Very friendly to work with. When you get in the room, there is a fresh cookie waiting for you along with a couple waters and a bag of peanuts. In a time where hotels nickel and dime you, it is a absolute pleasure to come here while on the road working. The rooms are very clean, will definitely be a repeat customer. read more

I'd give it a 3.5. I booked via Bellhop (the Mac app). Not a new or modern looking hotel, but pretty nice and clean. I love the paint job (blue bathrooms, etc) and the decor. They really put a lot of nice touches. The lobby looks great! I got Room 124 on the first floor in the corner. The king bed was fairly comfortable, the pillows are labeled firm/soft but I can't tell the difference, and there's a Keurig brewer in the room. The bathroom is a bit cramped but looks nice and has one of those cool glass bowl sinks. Good reliable wifi, fridge and microwave, iron/board, TV...pretty solid amenities. You can also check out things like a GPS or yoga kit for free, or a laptop/iPad for $9/day. Breakfast BUFFET! Pretty typical American buffet - toast, bacon, sausage, pancakes, hash browns, bland scrambled eggs, and custom omelettes. Then your typical coffee, orange juice, milk, cranberry juice, and tea (Tazo and Ambiance). The daytime staff was very friendly, but the nighttime staff seemed to be really impatient and have a poor attitude. Oh, I had no trouble sleeping, but my friend couldn't sleep because of the highway (it's literally at the off-ramp to a highway). In fact, there are TWO highways that intersect here. So there is a eye mask and ear plugs provided on the dresser probably for this reason... I did not check out the gym so all I can say about it is it seemed pretty small. FYI, I paid about $150 for a Sunday night. read more

Displaced due to a fire at my apartment complex and came here for a night- it was great! Brita at the front desk was so wonderful, funny, accommodating, and great to chat with. They have free alcohol and wine and cheese most weekday nights. Lovely porches and free breakfast- can't beat that! read more

Made our resevation here to see Luke Bryan in a concert and mentioned it when we talked to Brita. Darned if she didnt remember and when we check-in, Luke's music was playing in the lobby! Made the beginning of our stay awesome and invited and that impression continued through our entire stay. Thank you Brita! read more

Pros: This hotel has recently been remodeled into a cute, modern-contemporary Mediterranean-style look. A hot continental breakfast is part of the room reservation. Staff is friendly. Bed is comfy. Bathroom is cute. Room has fridge and microwave. Cons: entrance from a busy street (you can only enter from one direction), near power lines (if you have a member of your party who worries about that), our bathroom briefly had a "smell" (like a fart that came up back though the plumbing). read more

Brita was very helpful. Was in town for an expo and had to change rooms at the last second. Brita was very helpful and got things situated after a very long exhausting night. Between that and the lovely setting I would definitly recommend. read more

We stayed one night at this hotel for a concert at Shoreline amphitheater as it's close by. It's a really cute Mediterranean style hotel. The lobby is decorated really nice. The front desk receptionists were very friendly and helpful. After checking in, 15 minutes later- the front desk called to ask if everything was OK in our room and if there was anything else we needed. Which I thought was very nice. Our room had a lot of extra things and whatever was in the room was yours to take. Coffee, water, a cookie and snacks like peanuts etc. What I wanted to say most was about the breakfast! It is included and the breakfast was absolutely delicious! Really, this type of breakfast would cost $15-$20 in any other hotel that you stay in and it was complementary. Please consider staying at Hotel Zico if you visit the Mountain View area. read more

After a long road trip to get here, I just wanted to check in quickly and relax. I was a bit anxious to just shower and get into bed. Brita checked us in, she was fast, super helpful and somehow her personality kind of turned my mood up. The room is nice and clean. Interesting architecture. read more

I stayed at the hotel with my girlfriend for a week, while searching for apartments in Palo Alto after moving from Miami with way too many bags. Even before we arrived at the hotel, the customer service went the extra mile to help in anyway possible, from recommending a cab service to get us from SFO, to letting us borrow a GPS every day we were there, I can't say enough of how attentive the employees are. The breakfast is also unbelievably good value. How many other "budget" hotels offer a spread of sausages, bacon, hash browns, pancakes, and even an omelet bar? I don't know the answer to that rhetorical question, but my guess is not many. The rooms are clean and tastefully decorated, and the flat screen tvs are always an improvement over terrible 90s tube sets. I wouldn't change a damn thing! Well, maybe besides the weird highway figure-8 maneuver you have to do to get to the hotel. read more

Convenient , right off the highway without being noisy. Great staff. Brita at the front desk is a peach. Wish every front desk attendant was as engaging. read more

Love, love, love! Just as advertised. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Our room was really clean and had nice little bonuses, like a giant cookie and a Kuerig machine with Starbucks. There were french doors that opened out to a patio with table and chairs, a ping pong table and hot tub. Breakfast is way more than continental, made to order omelets and a huge server full of bacon. The location is literally right next to hey 85, but you could not hear it a bit. Definitely my go to for visits in and around mountain view. read more

So cute and trendy! Front desk worker Brita who works at night is SO friendly! Would come back just to chat with her. She really made the experience much better for me. Also, the wine and little treats are delicious! Never had that before! Would come again 100% read more
