We were attending a concert at Mountain Winery in Saratoga and decided to book a room for the night vs driving back to Sacramento. I had waited a while and was unable to get a room in Saratoga, so started reading reviews of various hotels within a decent driving distance. Booking the room online was easy and check in was very smooth. There is plenty of parking under and behind the building with a very short walking distance to the lobby. Our room was King Deluxe, and overall, the hotel floors look like they have been remodeled / renovated. Our room was extremely tidy and clean, with a lovely color pallet and wallpaper and tile textures. The bed and bedding was very comfortable, with modern lighting and furnishings. There is plenty of room to move around, with a large desk area if on business travel. The restroom was huge, with a lovely tub, and large shower with excellent water pressure. The towels were abundant and clean. There is a coffee bar area with microwave, coffee machine, refrigerators and drawers and space to store luggage and other items. I did have some difficulty falling asleep, but I think it was because I was still charged up from the concert we attended. There was definitely some road noise, and I could hear people walking around on the floor above us, but I was not negatively impacted by this. They offer a FULL complimentary breakfast, and I was pleasantly surprised at the extensive display. Eggs, bacon, fresh cut and whole fruits, yogurt, bread, bagels, pastries, oatmeal, coffee and juices; salad, fish, vegetables, glass plates and silverware, tablecloths and a spacious dining area. My only "complaint" would be limited TV stations than what you would normally find at a chain hotel. Several foreign and political propaganda channels, but we were really not there to watch TV. Overall had a really nice stay and would recommend for business or incidental travel. read more

When we stayed here it seemed like we were one of the only couples here. The parking lot was empty and every time we pressed the elevator button, it opened immediately. It was a little weird and creepy. But the hotel was very clean and updated. Our room was very nice and comfortable. The breakfast was very good and the staff was nice. I'd stay here again. read more

Woodcrest Hotel Cupertino is my first choice of hotel whenever I am on business travel to Santa Clara, Bay Area. The hotel is just a minute's drive from HWY 280 and walking distance to many restaurants on Cupertino Main St. The location is very safe and peaceful. I have been staying at this hotel in the last 3 years. The customer service is amazing, their breakfast choices are some of the bests in town, the rooms are clean, spacious and updated with modern look. A special mention to John Yang the manager who is always professional, friendly and very accommodative to guests' requests. John is one of the main reasons I keep coming back to stay at Woodcrest Hotel. I have also recommended Woodcrest Hotel to some of my colleagues and friends/family members, and they have all loved it ! read more

Very pleased with this hotel. Full breakfast that featured a wide variety of options. Very friendly and helpful customer service. Given the state of customer service in general these days, it was refreshing to stay in a place where the patronage is appreciated! Only downside is the lack of a gym. The room was clean a spacious enough for me to exercise there, however. Definitely recommend! read more

I don't know why ratings are so low but I would rate this a 5/5 given the price. This is a value deal y'all and no I'm in no way affiliated with this organization. I just think it's a hidden gem that more ppl need to know about. The lobby was homey, halls were gracious and the room was consistent with the beauty of the last two. Nothing broken, heater/AC worked fine, low-key thought I had a kitchen when I stepped into the bathroom bc of how expanseful it was with it's microwave and shelves lol. Had the cheapest option and even then it did not disappoint. Trust this missionary and his gospel, I think you'll like it read more

Very Poor Wi-Fi, can't believe in 2024 a hotel would not have the signal strength to watch a you tube video.

Review for Woodcrest Hotel I have been lodging at the Woodcrest Hotel since the 2000s from a recommendation from a family friend in Cupertino. At the time, my mother and I traveled from Southern California to NorCal every weekend for my mother's work, and Woodcrest has essentially become my home away from home. At the time, the hotel was being managed by an individual named Mr. Zhang, and then Rupert. Both were excellent managers, always friendly - and even one time Rupert cooked breakfast for me, even though I had woken up just a tad bit late - he cooked a fresh batch for me himself. I also enjoyed the time when they had them, a 24/7 pantry where I could come down at any time of the night, and make myself a sandwich or two, and grabbing some cookies. Then trotting back to my room to watch the DVDs, We loved staying at the Woodcrest so much, that we ended up renting out the conference rooms for our business meetings. I'd like to think that during our time with Woodcrest, we've become VIPs with a fixed room-rate, and free upgrades to suites when they were available. I'd remember most fondly when my mother and I had no-where else to go at the dead of night, and Woodcrest would always accept us no matter what time of the night we showed up. In conclusion, I have nothing bad to say about Woodcrest. Since, I am no longer traveling to NorCal as frequently, I haven't been able to see my good old friends again here. I hope everything is well, and thank you Woodcrest for being there for us during our struggling times. read more

My wife needed cardiac surgery at Santa Clara Kaiser. I needed a hotel close to Kaiser. A short 10 minute drive. I was very pleased with this hotel. Nice hot breakfast each day. Room cleaned and made up daily. Nice and quiet. They were very flexible with me as I had to daily extend my stay. They offered a 10% discount for kaiser members whose family was undergoing treatment or surgery. I would definitely stay there again. read more

If I could give it no stars I would. My employee stayed one night while there for work. He arrived to find two clumps of hair-one in the toilet and one under the sink. He stepped on a piece of glass in the middle of the night while going to use the restroom. He went to the front desk for bandaids but the night staff did not speak much English. I reported to the team the next day when asking to speak with a manager. They told me that it was my employee that broke a bottle and stepped on his own glass. No accountability and basically called us liars. They were combative and argumentative. The place is not clean and definitely not professional. read more

Stayed overnight on a short business trip and this beautiful boutique hotel made me want to stay longer, something I never say about the many hotels I stay in. Great value for money, quality of rooms, curtesy of staff and really good breakfast all make this hotel shine. I really cannot find fault with anything about this hotel, it far exceeded all of my expectations and I shall most definitely be staying again as well as recommending to others. What a cool place, top marks to management and staff read more

Had a really great stay here! Clean rooms, excellent hotel staff, and a nice complimentary breakfast. Looking forward to my next stay here! read more

My husband and I stayed here on our way up to Portland. We weren't really looking forward to staying in Santa Clara - it was more of a stopping point on our way up North - but we were pleasantly surprised by this place. The gentleman who checked us in was very friendly, the room perfectly comfortable and the COVID Grab-and-Go breakfast adequate. For the price this place was above and beyond my expectations. I'm so glad to have found such a jewel of a hotel to stay! read more

Woodcrest Hotel - View from the room - Hotels Near Me - Santa Clara, California

My boyfriend and I are in town and we're trying to find an affordable place to stay for the night. We found Woodcrest and at first we were skeptical because there were only two cars in the lot. We are so pleased with this hotel as the renovations are beautiful! The lobby is not quiet finished but the upper floors are nice. The room is spacious and clean, and the bathroom is especially pleasing. We will definitely be back -- 5 stars for this stay! read more

This hotel if I could give a negative stars I would it's sucks Had to stay here because only of hotel available this night Air-conditioner is either freezing or hot The pillows are like basketballs they're a foot thick you cannot even put your head down on them the sheets are scratchy and rough feels a little bit like sandpaper... avoid staying here this hotel sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

The room was excellent and breakfast was decent better than most places. The interior of lobby and a bit of outside has an update coming it's way, but the halls on the upper floors and rooms are gorgeous. Very tranquil feeling walking through the place once you get upstairs, everything was quiet. The gentleman and the front desk was very kind and considerate. New management is definitely taking steps to build this place into what it can be. Very beautiful bathroom also. And the shower was great. I will definitely have this place on my list next time I'm on a staycation or if have friends/family in town. read more

The only reason I can give this place 2 stars is that there is an IHOP in the parking lot, and since we don't have IHOP in Canada, I like to eat there when I can... because I forget how shitty it is. I should really write that down - "you don't actually like IHOP." This hotel... is terrible & you should not stay here (if you can avoid it), regardless of the price. Specifically: - The shower is just a pipe that randomly comes out of the wall. It's like TV shows about prison/what I imagine prison showers are like. The water pressure is good though. - The linnens are gross - they are always clean; they're just old and gross. It's a thin waxy comforter. No duvet. It's a lot like sleeping in my Dad's guest room... a collection of random, thin, old, used, weathered and worn blankets that get used twice a year so there is really no reason to upgrade them. - All the rooms have CRT TVs from 1995 with an actual external DVD player hooked up! (there is a small selection of DVDs in the lobby you can borrow - I have never looked at them but I think I have seen Bruce Almighty on the top of the heap). - There is always a mini fridge but it's on a shelf above your head (seriously - see photos). - There are always weird noises. All over, all the time. (It's haunted.) - There is no express checkout - you actually have to bring your card down and hand it in to get your bill. It's brutal. - I have never seen another guest here, even at breakfast. Can you tell I stay here a lot? I do. The reason? Santa Clara/San Jose NEVER has hotel availability. The only reason this dump can exist is because there aren't enough hotels in this region. Summary: the driver who takes me to work from the airport asks me if I'm staying at the "dirty hotel" - I hang my head in shame as I enter this building and hope no one from work sees me. read more

Offers more privacy than a homeless shelter but with less amenities. Reminds one of hotels in third-world countries. I completely agree with the previous review--The Woodcrest Hotel is dated and dirty. Pros: -Quiet. Most likely because no one else was staying there. Phone next to the toilet? Cons: -Dirty. The bathroom was disgusting. Dirt was caked between the floor tiles. The bottom of the bathtub was caked with some sort of sticky yellow stuff. I covered the tub and bathroom floor with towels. Wires and dust bunnies hung from the bathroom ceiling. The carpet was stained throughout the room. Odd smells... musty. I brushed my teeth with bottled water. Dated--The carpet was green. The furniture was peach/tan. Old, inadequate lamps that failed to fully light the room and flickered when turned on. -No TV. Although there is an obsolete, SD tube television in the room, the cable was out. So there was no television. Not a single channel. Nothing. -Terrible bed. The mattress was obviously very old and lumpy--something they failed to hide with a cheap mattress pad. There was three very small square pillows on the king size bed. Not ideal. -HVAC--There was a single, in-the-wall HVAC unit. The room was extremely warm when I arrived. Although it did cool down eventually, the bathroom is so far removed from the unit that it was still warm in the morning. Considering the terrible room, we opted to skip the provided breakfast... I can't image what the kitchen looks like. You should avoid this place at all costs. If there are no other options, sleep in your car. read more

My wife and I stayed here a little over a month ago. There were good and bad things about the place. It helped that our expectations were fairly low to begin with due to other Yelp reviews. Good: * Lower weekday prices than other nearby hotels * Room and public areas were clean * Free guest parking * Free WiFi (though that's pretty common these days) * Some small in-room updates Bad: * Poorly maintained facilities * Bed size wasn't the size we reserved * Room key card stopped working after the first day (had to have it replaced) * Overall room quality was poor, though it probably could have been considered a nice suite 20 years ago or so. Overall it wasn't a great place, but it was better than we thought it was going to be. The place has a lot of character and was quirky (not all in a bad way). Just don't expect everything in the room to be from a year later than 1990. And some things may not work right at first. read more

I was a little cautious about staying here because of the reviews and what coworkers had told me. But I am so glad I did! The renovations they have done are beautiful! The room was clean and modern, the staff was wonderful, and the breakfast was good. They are still finishing renovations for an exercise room and media room which I can only imagine will be great. If you like boutique hotels with an intimate and charming feel, this is the place to stay. I'll definitely be staying here again. read more

This place needs a lot of update and remodeling. -the TV -the room key cards that don't work half of the time -the bathroom -beds, sheets, etc... -shower heads are like prison showers.(not that I've ever been in prison but it looks like it) I'm only giving two stars because of the complimentary breakfast and free water. Other than that, this hotel is terrible. I've been in motels, Inns, and hotels that are a lot better and nicer than this. read more

This place was kinda creepy. There were no ghost sounds or lights going on and off but there was about 2 maybe 3 rooms occupied on a weekend. This hotel is not far from the Levi stadium. So yeah I expected there to be more than 2 people here. Can't give this hotel a 1 star because it was alright but most definitely not worth $100 a night. This place was a perfect hotel in the 70's. read more

Don't stay here. WiFi worked - but had no internet connectivity Variety of stains all over the carpet. Slow desk service. One positive was that the lady in the restaurant was very friendly. read more

If u could give 0 stars I would. This place has a terrible order, is in desperate need of a make over and is lacking staff to actually run the place. This place should be bulldozed and a Hilton or hyatt put up in its place. Do not stay here if you are looking for a decent place. read more

This hotel is comfortable and friendly. The people are always so very nice, you feel right at home. It is older style-very nice! Windows that open, real wood, wide hallways with alcoves. Free breakfast has meat, eggs, vegetables (!) And pastries that seem to be from a better quality bakery than most places. One free drink every night! Always clean, well cared for. Nice center courtyard with trees, small tables. PS: I love the soft bed sheets! Downside: WiFi has not been very good. No exercise room, but nice neighborhood to walk/run. read more

This hotel is so depressing. The room smells like dirty feet and it has to be because the carpeting is so old. It is worn down and obviously dirty. The decor in the rooms is from the 80s but they updated the lobby and exterior to fool you. And they charged $180 a night on a Sunday night! Only 129 on the weekends because they said they can charge more for the out of town business people during the week. Do not be fooled by the nice exterior. This place is rough and I just need to get through the night . read more

Love it. Desk clerk, Arby, was a total BAWSS. Funny and polite with fast service. Room was upgraded for free, same-day reservation during high-tourism season. Go here. read more

Not sure if it was renovated recently but looks in good shape. Wifi works very well and the breakfast is delicious.

Internet connection sucks, I was barely able to use it to post this negative review. The hotel is really old and run-down. It looks like it was really nice in the 80s, and they never once did anything to keep it up since then. The whole place smells dusty and old, and it looks pretty worn out. There's little bits of grime in every corner that probably refuse to submit to cleaning, cracks in the floors/walls from age, etc. I do have to admit, though, that there's one positive aspect to this scuzzy bucket. Their wi-fi connection doesn't have one of those irritating DNS traps. They just give you a wifi network name and password, you punch them in, and BAM, you're online (at 1999-level speeds). Dear Woodcrest: If you spend some of the money that's undoubtedly pouring in from the area's lack of good hotels and get enough bandwidth for a decent internet connection, let me know and I'll probably come crawling back read more

This hotel is so outdated. Linens are old. The halls have a weird smell. There are multiple stains on the carpet. The room does not have a microwave or refrigerator as the website says. This hotel is ridiculously over priced. Even Motel 6 would be better!!! read more

Bad Service. Rude front desk attendant. Breakfast was ok, but did not make up for the attitude I got checking in and out. Will not stay here again, regardless of price (I paid $89/night). read more

2 1/2 STARS.......... I read the reviews before booking this hotel, and I did not find it as bad as other people did. I had trouble finding a room in any hotel, as this part of the world is crazy with business people and very high room rates (because the company pays them, not the customer). We decided to stay here, as it was only one night. Maybe it helped that we had the ONLY 2 Queen bed room in the whole place ~ everything else was 1 King Bed. Yes, this place is in need of a total up-grade, and they are remodeling.....slowly. Things were old looking, but not dirty. Free parking.The breakfast was great....not just Continental...... but full, included in the room rate! I would stay there again, but maybe after the remodel is done. read more

If by chance you happen to read the description of the hotel on their website you will see that they claim that "each guest room has a large work area with complimentary T1 high speed internet connection. The bath features a second TV, telephone, hair dryer, terry robes, oversize towels, and upgraded personal care items." THIS IS NOT THE CASE. The room was old, covered in wallpaper with large roses. There was no second TV let alone a TV in the bath, no terry robe, no upgraded personal care items. I asked the front desk where these items were but they didn't know what I was talking about. This is NOT a boutique hotel. If you want boutique go to The Grand Hotel in Sunnyvale. read more
