Stanford campus is nearby but still a 10-15 minute drive with traffic. That said...upgrades are plentiful on the weekends. I booked the cheapest room via Amex FHR and ended up with their 2000 sqft suite. Not bad at all.
I agree with silver-tls. I was there for work last month and think it's a good business hotel - but doesn't feel anything like a vacation destination. Room was looking quite dinged up too. And paying $12 to self-park in an empty parking lot is a joke.

I disagree with the poster above about the restaurant - I've uniformly had very good food at the hotel - from the restaurant to functions.
