"Nicely appointed rooms. Good breakfast, nice pool."

Wild Palms, a JdV by Hyatt Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Super cute hotel close to Levi’s Stadium. We were in town for a concert and loved how convenient the location was. Close to Starbucks and Dunkin’. Easy access to parking. No elevators though, so if you get the second floor, you’ll have to take the stairs. All the staff were friendly which made for pleasant interactions. They gave us a map to help find our room which I thought was an added step to the service. We didn’t take advantage of the breakfast available. We also didn’t utilize any of the eco-friendly services as we were only here for 1 night. Definitely would stay here again!"
