The Wild Palms Hotel is the result of a motel renovation, during which the old property was spruced up to fit into the Joie de Vivre hotel profile. The 208 rooms and suites are colorful and Mediterranean-inspired, and offer perks such as free Wi-Fi and generous work desks. Problems from the original motel structure remain, including thin walls, outdoor hallways, and no elevators. While some guests complain about loud air-conditioning units or street noise, the colorful, tropical decor, free breakfast, and heated outdoor pool make it a good pick for travelers looking for value in the Silicon Valley.

The Domain Hotel is a 136-room converted motel in Sunnyvale that has been significantly spruced up -- colorful rooms have funky decor and high-tech gadgets, the pool is nice and secluded, and freebies include Wi-Fi and parking. Unfortunately this hotel can't escape its structure, with some rooms that only have windows overlooking the lobby and others that are subject to street noise. The hotel is convenient for business travelers and offers perks like iPod docks, flat-screen TVs, and an outdoor heated pool, but the fitness center is cramped and there have been some complaints of noisy air-conditioning and heating units. The stylish cafe and bar called Bytes is a nice touch and offers free breakfast.

Silicon Valley business travelers are drawn to the Sheraton Sunnyvale hotel for its comfort and close proximity to the area's corporate headquarters. This 173-room hotel is made up of two-story buildings that surround a huge Olympic-size outdoor heated pool and appealing sundeck. While there is no elevator available to rooms on the second floor, all of the large rooms offer crisp linens, free in-room coffee, and recent upgrades like flat-screen TVs and spacious work desks. More convenient perks include a 24-hour fitness center, free parking, and a Mediterranean spot -- Faz Restaurant -- that is devoted to serving fresh and flavorful food. While there are limited activities within walking distance and there is a pesky fee for Wi-Fi, the manicured grounds with a gazebo garden are lovely.

Larkspur Landing feels like a New England B&B -- the cozy lobby has leather couches and hardwood floors, and the rooms feature warm colors, plaids, and super-comfy beds. In addition to free Wi-Fi, stand out features here include the full kitchens in all rooms. While the fitness center is small and the hotel does not have a pool, Larkspur Landing offers more charm than other hotels in this mainly commercial area. Breakfast could have a wider selection, but the hotel has up-to-date technology including flat-screen TVs and iPod docks.
