Oyster Review Summary
Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators.
Pros
- Colorful, high-tech rooms with iPod docks and flat-screen TVs
- Free Wi-Fi, underground parking, and breakfast
- Outdoor heated pool with Jacuzzi
- Perks for business travelers like work desks and ergonomic chairs
- Stylish on-site cafe and bar called Bytes
- Free shuttle on weekdays to companies within 10 miles
- All rooms have mini-fridges and large bathrooms

Cons
- Some complaints of noise from the lobby and street
- Cramped fitness center (but free access to the gym across the street)
- Some rooms only have windows that look onto the lobby
- Noisy air-conditioning and heating units
- Some rooms have older bathrooms and fixtures
Bottom Line
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.
