Ask HN: Any suggestions for hotels/airbnb in Cupertino, CA?

2 pointscodegeek3 comments

I hope it is ok to share that I am going to Startup School in Oct. It is in Cupertino and I am pretty much an East Coast person. I have been to LA and Arizona once but thats about it. So any suggestions for hotels in Cupertino or I might just look into airbnb.

There are no good hotels near Cupertino; don't try to optimize on this. South bay is plagued by "boutique hotels" like Wild Palms and Zico that are in fact renovated Best Westerns. It's pretty weird.

Airbnb has been pretty hit-or-miss for me in south bay, too.

In case you didn't already know: needing to be in Cupertino means you can stay in Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, or Mountain View, too.

Thanks. I actually found a place on AirBnB and it is in Sunnyvale. So I guess that should be good. Thx for the advice.

Airbnb isn't bad; I've stayed at one in Cupertino before and it was fine.

Hotels tend to be either run down and expensive or newly renovated and extremely expensive by non-California standards.
