We stayed here as an alternative to staying at the Hyatt for a conference at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Over 3 nights and 4 days, we saved at least the cost of one night if we had stayed at the Hyatt. The location was a 1.8 mile walk to the Convention Center and made for a nice start to the day. Hosts were very accomodating and communicative and we were very happy with our experience - plus the tower is a cool location to stay :-)
