Despite its "outdated", "dormitorylike" exterior, this boutique hotel "convenient to Palo Alto" and the Silicon Valley carries out a "cool, hip vibe" with its "classy, quirky" design and "lots of unexpected extras", such as a "free business center, happy hours and European-style breakfasts"; "funky" rooms are outfitted with "plush bedding" and a "variety of clever" gadgets and the "staff is courteous", but a few naysayers nix the "not-so-nice location" near auto parts shops.

Like the free breakfast.

Room was quite small.

Good experience overall. Room was clean, quiet and bed was great, despite being small. I enjoyed the free breakfast and the fitness room. I would stay there again.

Great complimentary breakfast.

Room was clean, surprisingly stylish, and didn't smell. Convenient location. Complimentary breakfast was really good. We expected bagels and fruit but got a wonderful variety of tasty foods and drinks. We'll definitely stay again! ...read more

The contemporary decor was attractive.

There were no king rooms available and the queen room was smaller than expected.

Great bed.

Noisy hallway.

Nice rooms with excellent bedding in a non descript building that could have been a Travel lodge previously.

Unexpectedly chic.

No restaurant; outdated exterior facade.

Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by the interior design because the exterior facade of the hotel looks pretty outdated. Service was good; the complimentary breakfast was great!

The decor, the amenities, the staff.

Parking lot was a little tight.

We were there for a short time, wished it were longer so we would have been able to enjoy the pool and large Jacuzzi. Staff was very courteous, rooms spacious, upscale decor, so many choices in the honor bar (chocolate-yummy), even provided puzzle games for guests to unwind with. I'll be back! ...read more

Excellent breakfast.

Room was a little cramped.

This is a very nice upscale hotel. The rooms are very well equipped with a very comfortable bed. They had an excellent hot breakfast. Free WiFi. Room service.

The bed was comfy; liked the desk.

Carpet is ugly; shower is weak.

It's trying hard to be this posh nuance hotel when really the target audience and demographic it serves, weary business travelers, just need the comfort not the style. This hotel has some comfort but it lacks service. ...read more

The decor was really good. Excellent.

Not much room in the room.

The hotel Avante is a peaceful and stimulating place for the discriminating traveler.
