I had a wonderful stay at Dinah's with my family. The rooms were spacious and luxurious, equipped with everything we needed, including a full wet bar and a lovely king bed. The only downside was the need for some extra cleaning in the room. The hotel location amidst stunning gardens was a true oasis, although there were some minor inconveniences like blocking fire lines. We enjoyed our dining experience overall, but there were moments of delay in service. The facilities were top-notch, and I look forward to coming back.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were incredibly spacious with wood floors, a fold-out sofabed, and a large screen TV with a wide selection of channels. The well-stocked wet bar at the best prices I have ever seen made it even better. However, there was a makeup room that for our growing family. The hotel offered plenty of wardrobe and drawer storage, which was a big plus.

The service was incredibly friendly, which was a great start to the stay, especially during these socially-distant times. However, there were some issues with replacing chipped tissue holders and failing hangers, which the hotel seemed reluctant to address even when brought to their attention.

My stay at the hotel was truly a mixed experience. While the rooms were quite basic for the high price, they were surprisingly spacious and had great amenities. However, I did notice some spills on the tile floor in the sitting room, which was a bit of a downside. On the bright side, the hotel's water features added a lovely touch to the overall ambiance.

The hotel's location within beautiful foliage and lagoon was absolutely stunning. It perfectly suited our tech-focused tour around Silicon Valley, and the tranquil water features added to the beauty of the surroundings.

The dining experience was a mix of highs and lows. While the grilled and boiled fish were really good, I was a bit disappointed with the service as I had to request attention after watching other guests being served first.
