The Holiday Inn Mt View is my go to stay when in the South Bay for work. My staff and I appreciate the customer service clean rooms and convenient location. The free full breakfast is always a plus.

Room was old - furniture was chipped and the chair upholstery was falling off the chair. The heater/A/C was very loud and kept waking us up. On the bright side, the staff was friendly and the bed was comfortable. It may get better because they are in the process of renovating.

Disappointed in the state of the property. Old and over-priced. I wouldn’t rate it 3 star. It’s a 2 star. Nothing against the staff. It’s just an OLD hotel being priced as if it were new. Not happy with Hotels.com as a result. Earlier in the week I was at an excellent Westin Element in San Jose. I wish I had not left that property.

The room I was given has a window whose curtains did not close all the way. It was also next to a busy street and I had trouble falling sleep for the 2 nights I was there. Also the keycard didn't work at first and I had to go back down to get it re-programmed. Other than that, it is very close to Castro Street in Mountain View.
