What guests think

At Crowne Plaza Silicon Valley North - Union City by IHG, travelers highlight comfortable beds, generally clean rooms, and convenient freeway access, while also noting that the property feels dated and could use upgrades in several areas.

Recurring maintenance complaints include unreliable A/C or heating, slow-draining tubs, occasional elevator and ice-machine outages, and missing in-room conveniences like microwaves or fridges. Service reports are mixed: many find staff friendly, but others faced delayed check-in, unfulfilled requests, or intrusive early housekeeping, and some experienced late-night hallway noise. Breakfast often disappoints and the restaurant/bar hours can be limited, while the pool receives praise; multiple reviews also mention vehicle break-ins in the parking area. Overall, expect a practical, location-convenient stay rather than a polished full-service experience.

This was a terrible trip. My car was parked near the highway parking lot near the hotel. On the last night of leaving, the car was stolen. Two nights before the car was stolen, I heard the anti-theft alarm of a car. Then I went to the window and looked at the horn of a car. The emergency light of the car was flashing, but I didn't see anything abnormality. Please don't put anything in the car when you drive to the hotel.

The entire hotel is in pretty rough shape. Room was dirty. My room stunk like greasy food. A bunch of the gym equipment was broken/ missing. The restaurant is no longer open after breakfast. This was the worst crown plaza I’ve ever been in.

Everything was great, very clean, staff was attentive. Great location. Really nice pool area. Two things were lacking-a microwave in the room and electric vehicle charging stations. On our last morning, the maids knocked even though we had the Do not Disturb sign out still. A little annoying.

Everything was great! Tried calling ahead 3 xs no answer had to drive down. Once down staff was easy awesome! The back door by our room 135 needs to be fixed. I did go to the staff and tell them, but it still wasn’t done. It’s a safety hazard because we couldn’t park by our door other than that it’s one of the awesome hotels in the Bay Area.

I checked in around 5pm and went to a business function. After arriving back to my hotel room, I unpacked and changed into pajamas only to discover the bed smelled like bad body order and sheets looked used since there was hair which was not mine. I did not want to change rooms since it close to midnight. I ended up sleeping on the sofa. The next day when I ironed my blouse, the steam in the iron came out “brown” staining my blouse. I had to keep my jacket on all day in the business meeting at your hotel. So disappointed in my stay considering I paid more to stay at Crowne Plaza, since my business meeting was held there.

The property seems to be on the decline. The doors had to be man handled to get inside. The state of the room was ok till you started to look deeper into it. The carpet was dingy looking an filthy. The bathroom had grime in the corners and the tub had a ring. Overall the place needs to be remodeled and fixed up.

It was a nice place but very run down for what they try to advertise. Rust in the shower, dirty bathroom tiles, sink had a fowl odor too. The carpets didn’t even look vacuumed and there were stains on curtains and lamp shades. Even the fixtures around the elevator and the buttons themselves were fixed with tape. Our scan key card reader was taped on to the door. There was also a lot of glass in the parking lot showing that lots of cars get broken into. When we left three cop cars were surrounding a car which looked like someone was sleeping in the parking lot. Very outdated and not very clean. Motel vibes.

Had a late check in, 630pm during the long holiday weekend (Labor Day). Got into the room and found the iron defective. Called the front desk to advise of the issue and asking for a replacement to iron my dinner shirt. Front desk tells me there is no one working in housekeeping during a long, holiday weekend. Decided to extend one more day given the issue since it was convenient to my relatives’ home. Let the front desk know of the situation but still cleaned my room and left no towels for me to use. Improve your CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!

She just opened the door by herself invading our privacy. Not a good experience. Not going back anymore and will tell family and friends.

This property is clean, quiet and fairly priced. There is a great little Mexican restaurant down the street (Mexico Tipico) and the location is close to the freeway without the freeway noise. The breakfast selection was poor and cold. A traveler would do better to skip the hotel breakfast and put their breakfast dollars elsewhere.

The property was clean and tidy, the breakfast is limited and fixed with minimal service available. The breakfast service can do with an upgrade with a little bit quality and choice. The restaurant as a limited choice of mainly burgers and the bar was often closed before 08.30 pm. The location is the main problem as it is has very limited shops or restaurants within walking distance so without transport this could be an issue.

It was hard to find a place to eat when we did know. Most likely we would not have booked the hotel if we had known that. Everything else was fine-

The strongest feature of this establishment was undoubtedly the beds; they were exceptionally comfortable, providing a restful night's sleep. However, the bathroom left much to be desired. It was quite run-down, with a tub that struggled to drain properly. Additionally, the shower curtain was ill-fitted, allowing water to spill out onto the floor, which was an accident waiting to happen. There was a noticeable unevenness to the tub's edge, creating a dramatic drop when stepping out that could easily throw someone off balance. The window curtains were also in poor condition, riddled with holes that diminished any sense of privacy. As for breakfast, it was merely passable. I was served powdered scrambled eggs, lukewarm potatoes, and sausage patties that didn't justify the $18.99 price tag. For that amount, I could have opted for a much more satisfying meal at Denny's or IHOP, where the service is typically friendlier. Speaking of service, the cashier's professionalism was lacking. The atmosphere was further marred by the staff, who were more focused on gossiping amongst themselves than attending to guests. I noted they raised their voices across the dining area, making for a distracting and unwelcoming experience. Overall, while I could manage another stay there if necessary, I would certainly not make it my first choice.

This was my second time staying at the Crown Plaza. The room was spacious and clean. Very comfortable bed and great pillows. Bathroom clean and well appointed. All positives. Now…let’s talk about the one negative. The Cafe! I did not have dinner at the hotel the first night. I decided to have breakfast at the cafe in a Sunday morning. Big disappointment. I basically paid $18 for a small coffee and some scrambled eggs. The bacon was cold, the sausage was cold and the potatoes were cold. There were no napkins. Believe me, I will NOT be eating there again.
