Los Gatos – The Toll House Hotel Review
Now here is a nice hotel! Its located at the end of Santa Cruz St. My client dropped me off here and drove past it the first time, he thought it was a cute little apartment complex.
The room was a little on the small size but it was “cozy” It had a great balcony. Large with 2 chairs and a table. I really liked the decor. Its a nice dark colored wood (real) and well you can see from the pictures below how nice its is.
The bathroom was small, but in 2 pieces. shower in one room, and washroom in the next. L’Occitane bath and body products, free internet, and free parking. Bed was comfy and in general the room was nice.
On the bed they leave you a large Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie which was really tasty. You can order some to take with you but its faster when you order during the day. If its the evening they aren’t baking anymore .
The hotel is down the street from a lot of shops. I wish i had more time because I noticed a lot of lively looking places and the hotel told me some of the restaurants have “wine tasting” from some of the local vineyards.
This was such a short stay that I feel I’ll have to stay here again and test out some of the amenities to give a better review. I heard they have a great restaurant on property and a spa. I wasn’t clear if the hotel ran the spa or they were recommending a spa. Anyway next time I’m in the San Jose area I’ll definitely make it a point to come back to The Toll House and stay a bit longer.

Westin Pasadena – A review on their workout room
A review of The Westin Pasadena, a Starwood property. Had lots of highs but also lots of lows. Although I loved the city of Pasadena, and management did try to make it up to me, I’ll probably try the Sheraton Pasadena next time I’m in the area.

St. Regis Hotel Monarch Beach CA – Much Ado About NOTHING!
The St. Regis Hotel in Monarch beach was one of the worse resorts I’ve ever stayed at. I think because they build tips into everything the incentive to provide good service isn’t there. The grounds are nice but if you feel like you will have some luxurious vacation, you will find that this particular St. Regis falls far from the mark! Don’t waste your starwood points on this resort!

Hermosa Beach CA – The Beach House
I got a great deal on an ocean view room (AAA $242 a night). Really nice room, but i felt a little crowded. What I mean is there wasn’t a lot of “free” space for those of us that like to get up and do some exercising. Its location makes up for the small size though. I loved walking up and down the pier. Furniture was nice and was quality….

W Hollywood CA – Great Hotel
I LOVED this place! I was lucky enough to get upgraded to their WOW suite and boy did it deliver! It was huge, comfy and very nicely decorated. It had 2 window seats with what seemed like a twin sized mattress in them with some comfy pillows. Perfect for taking a nap and relaxing in. I had friends up to the room and even w/ 6 guys and 2 ladies everyone fit comfortably on the couch or in the closest window seat.

The Westin Costa Mesa California – Worst Stay EVER!!!!
I read these reviews and have no idea how this hotel can get such high reviews. I got the awesome rate of $99 a night during SPG latest prepaid special. I walk in and as they look at my reservation they tell me that no one flagged my reservation as Platinum so no upgraded rooms were available. Ok fine, I just want to lay down after driving almost 5 hours…
