Location of Hyatt Rickey's can't be beat. The rooms sure can - right down the street at the Westin - with the 'dreambeds'. Town of Palo Alto won't let Hyatt redo this property, so it is a cash cow - $300-400 nite for 1950s motor hotel rooms - probably fully depreciated in 1960s.

Historically it is vintage California motor hotel, with wooden shake roofs.

I have been staying there on and off for 6 months.
It's location is perfect, it is flat (not a building) and not a classic Hyatt - if you ask me - all for the best.
You park your car, right next to your room door, get the morning paper, have a nice quite gym with 4 TVs whoch is empty and for your own use most of the time, right next to Heartz rental office, 5 minutes driver from Stanford Center... just perfect.

This hotel has gardens throughout with benches and waterfalls. It also offers high speed internet connections. If you are able to reserve a room in the new tower, the room are very very large. The offer a fitness room and a restaraunt on site. It is one of the most romantic places I have stayed.

This is one of the first Hyatt's built and one of the first hotel's on El Camino Real. It is definatly laid out in motor lodge style of the late 1950's. Don't go expecting the same Hyatt touch. This one and Hyatt San Jose, should have been redone, not just renovated as this was years back. Long walks and dingy rooms, pass on this one.

I checked into this hotel 3 years ago for a job interview in mountain view. Firstly I kept driving past it and not realising it was actually the hyatt. It looks like a converted motel resort of some sort so dont expect your typical hyatt. The entire hotel is 2-story hotel spread out in a couple of buildings so expect a little bit of a walk from the ...
