We stay here often, however the rooms are rarely as listed...meaning it may say a 2 bedroom with 2 queens when in fact it may be a king with 2 twin beds. Also, the Latch keyless entry is a pain. It usually takes an hour before we get in just because the codes don't work. Yet, the location, parking and overall great neighbors and neighborhood make up for the frustrations.

While the property itself is great (clean, quiet, good amenity), communication and management is poor.
We were given a code to a wrong room in the Latch app as they re-assigned us to a new room on the day of check-in but didn’t update in their system properly. We stepped in a room that was clearly occupied! What’s worse was we were emailed that all staff would be on Thanksgiving break and we should call some back up phone number, but the back up person clearly belongs to a different firm and was not sure how to handle this and told us there is a chance nobody would be given it’s night before Thanksgiving (so very stressful for us after a long day of driving).
And even more funny was we tried to call the original number after all, and they were actually not on break at all! They were indeed able to help.

It seems the property is subcontracted through many firms and between each layer there is some communication barrier. Too many miscommunication and mismanagement made an otherwise wonderful stay stressful.

The check in insurrections are by far the worst I’ve ever had. This also isn’t the “global luxury suites” - I put that into my maps and I was walking around the wrong apt complex for 45 mins trying to call customer support who was absolutely useless and rude until I finally realized the global luxury suites on maps is not the right place. Then when I finally got to the right place which was another 20 min drive away, the app didn’t work and there were no instructions on what elevator to use and how to get into the building which took another hour. The bed was extremely uncomfortable as well. Highly don’t recommend staying here.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay - except could never ever contact anyone by phone to help in any way. After a long delay they'd send an email and call (which I always missed due to flights so go voicemail) and if I replied to email immediately I'd still not get a response until too late.

The Latch system (instead of keys, to enter every door and use elevators) did not work for my phone and no employees understood how it worked. I absolutely needed to have service which I did not inside of the elevator so an employee at the leasing office had to let me in so I could get service at the top floor . It took hours and hours of everyone's time.

We were given late checkout as an apology, which I appreciated.

(the leasing office people were really uncomfortable because it was not their rental situation, but helped as much as they could. We had just wandered in because we had the wrong address and thankfully they could access our floor in our building)

This property is nice, but everything is automated. During your stay you will never see a front desk person or any person that can assist. All communication/issues are communicated by phone and/or text. There are not physical keys to use. Instead there is a Latch app that you download and use to enter the parking garage, elevator and room/apartment, etc. It takes some time to get used to and not all of the entries & exits are listed logically. For our group, we all used one login and password, just FYI. Not sure we would stay here again, we realized how nice it is to have actual people to talk with at a typical hotel if you have an issue.

I've never been more appalled in my life. This was an expensive rental. I called as i was in the Uber to confirm information for checkin. I was asking to check in 30min early. Was told she would check and call me back...never called back.

Went to the 49ers game then to the hotel and couldn't get into the building. Called every number available through the callbox and emails presented and could not get in touch with anyone for an hour as i stood out on the street with my luggage. Ultimately had to book another hotel as it was close to midnight and i needed somewhere to go.

This was the second time having issues getting into the building and they refused to refund my stay. STEER CLEAR OF THIS PLACE!

Nice Apartment but noisy and access difficult

The apartment is well sized, clean and comfortable and is well located in the centre of Silicon Valley. Unfortunately the apartment fronts onto the El Camino highway and is therefore really noisy between 7am and midnight. Fortunately it quietens down overnight so sleep is possible. In the evenings though it is difficult to hear the TV over the traffic noise.
Initial access is difficult as there are two garages and 6 different lifts each access a limited number of apartments - the lifts don't indicate which apartments they service, so if you are unlucky you may have to go up and down 6 lifts before you find the right one. You also need to download an access app to secure entry, so if boy have arrived from overseas and you don't have cell coverage then you are in trouble. It took us two hours to gain access to the apartment and that was only via the assistance of some residents.
There is secure underground garage parking which is great but access requires you to get out of the car use your app to access the control pad to then open the gate, regrettably by the time you get back to your car the gates have already started to close again - sometimes you can get in other times you have to repeat the process - if there are two of you then you can use your passenger to trigger the gate whilst you then drive through.

The property requires two apps to enter: the latch app and another one developed by the property. The instruction and code for the latch app never arrived - even after we contacted the property. My apartment uses latch and I have no issue receiving any related info except for this property. For the other app, there was always a \"cannot connect to server\" error message, preventing us to do anything. We ended up booking another hotel and since this payment was not refundable we basically wasted a few hundred dollars. Communication is way faster if you let Expedia customer service contact the property for you - we told the property about the check-in issue in the morning and there was no response until we contacted Expedia.

Latch key system made for a horrible experience

Getting into the property was a nightmare. The Latch smartphone locks didn't work. Their system was down the first night and I waited 30 minutes for someone to call me back and manually enter me into the system. The elevators require the Latch app to work and the app requires wifi. Wifi doesn't work in parking garages, so I struggled the first 2 days with getting the elevators to work. Not worth the trouble.

One of the worst experiences but no one to blame because everything is done through two poorly set up apps. When we had stayed here a few years ago, it was not that simple, either, but at least there was a key waiting for us to enter the room once we figured out how to park the car in the garage. We were pleased with our stay and the amenities and the double suite we booked. It was like living in an apartment. The full-size kitchen was convenient, and it felt like we were staying in a home vs a hotel.

Unfortunately, I cannot review our current stay because we could not figure out how to even get through the gate to park the car. We could see our parking spot, but we had no idea how to get through the gate. The internet was a Catch 22 as we could not access the instructions without walking out of the garage, yet we needed the internet connection to attempt to open the gate using their new latch system. It was a comedy of errors!

Additionally, we did not know that picking up a key was no longer required. They should update this information and not send it as an attachment via email. We assumed the entire time that we would be picking up a key once we figured out the gate.

Nobody picked up the so-called 24-hour help line. By this time, it was close to midnight. Exhausted to the bone, we left and went to another hotel. Global refuses to refund us for this farce!

The space is good. Nice size kitchen, bathroom, walk in closet and storage cabinets. There are only enough plate ware and towels provided for 2 people. Bring extra. The mattress needs to be replaced. It sinks in, and there is not much support. The sheets are losing their elasticity. Not enough warm covers are provided for the kids to sleep on the sofa bed. That mattress needs replacing too. The shower walls still had hair from a previous person. The TV in the bedroom has a blown out speaker so the sound is muffled. The apartment served its purpose, but it needs some extra stuff.

Curious about the new apartments.

Check in was bit of a hassle....so much to do, compared to hotel. ie. the rental agreement, and they said i needed to get them my vehicle info. for parking but the lady said, \"I am not going to be at that property this weekend\". Having to move your car to
\"the street\" which has no parking along that stretch, only because the key must be left
in the apartment and not in the lock box where you get it initially. This could all be easier and less confusing, but whatever. the place was clean and nice. I was however disappointed that the instructions said to \"leave the place how you found it\", yet they charge $125 for cleaning! I missed that little print, when viewing the listing! So instead of paying $240 plus tax, etc., I was charged $420. Quite a bit for just 2 nights, for my budget. But the Bay Area is over-priced across the board!!!, thanks to the tech monopolies that have destroyed our home town.

Horrible checkin, nice stay

The property is in a good location, very close to dining and shopping options. The apartment itself was great, light, airy, very clean, and had everything I needed.
The checkin procedure however was horrible. The lockbox didn't work because it was jammed. After spending an hour on the phone with someone (after an 11 hour flight) explaining to them that the lockbox couldn't be opened, they finally agreed to send someone to help me. 2 hours of waiting in the parking garage and someone came to help me.
Overall I had a nice stay but the checkin procedure definitely needs to be improved!

Spacious, modern, clean!

The location and facility was fabulous. The accommodations were new, modern, clean, and spacious, with various amenities included (hair dryer, dish soap, Keurig cups, etc). The private balcony was great, as was the other facility amenities (pool, jacuzzi, outdoor seating/fireplace areas, fitness center). Agreed with other reviews, that obtaining the keys initially was a bit like solving an escape room I reverse, but I was up to the challenge.
The ONLY thing I was dissatisfied with was the bed comfort. The beds were much firmer than I prefer, and I did not find the mattress comfortable. However, I would highly recommend this place to stay.

1- check in was confusing and convoluted. it was a process involving unclear direction, a lockbox, keyfobs, no information on parking/spaces.
2- the mattress was so incredibly uncomfortable, it felt like an inflatable mattress or at best, a bad foam pad
3- only 1.5 toilet paper rolls in the space, for a four night stay
4- no full length mirror
5- cheap, cheap, cheap furnishings throughout. From the TV to the sofa bed (we already talked about the mattress)
6- threadbare towels (why? this rental wasn't exactly low price)

Will not stay here again, which is unfortunate as it is well located. I would not recommend this place to anyone unless they can bring their own bed.

The building is new and quiet, with many amenities (that I didn't take advantage of). I liked it better than typical hotels in the area (I come for work frequently) because anything in the same price range are typically poorly renovated older buildings. The furnishing is great, though the lack of a front desk (since this is an apartment) did make it a bit more difficult to \"check in\" (had to follow a long list of somewhat complicated instructions).

My stay was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Check-in was a very smooth process, and I just happened to bump into the person who installed my key lock-box. He gave me some great tips about the property and pointed me in the right direction for the right elevator to take, which is key to not getting lost on the property. I'll admit, getting lost on this property if you have the time. The property is a beautiful reflection of the beauty inside the suite—great art, modern furniture, and a comfortable environment. I slept like a baby after feeding times. The place was very clean, and the layout of the suite I rented was just enough room for two people; perfect for our stay. Communication with the rental staff was transparent (exactly what I wanted), and they made sure to relay important information regularly. I downloaded the mobile app, which made my check-in and check-out the easiest process I've ever had. Here's a tip on check-out that can be seen on the check-out folder: Be sure to move your car out of the garage and into a guest parking spot before leaving your keys in the suite check-out folder. I will be staying here again in the future. No question about it.

I don’t write reviews very often, but this one I just have to write this so that people know what they are getting into. To be clear, the actual room is good. It is fully furnished and well maintained. But you should understand that this is not a hotel room. It is a room with furniture and towels and that it is. There will not be daily maintenance. But these are fine, I kind of already know it when I booked. The terrible thing is with the check-in. I received absolutely zero help with my check-in. The instructions were hard to follow; the lockbox was not easy to locate; and worst of all, it is impossible to find on-site staff to help you with the check-in. The customer service was utterly unreachable as well. I in the end stood in chilly wind for an hour not able to check in. So people should know that this is a fully self-service room rather than a hotel and expect no help at all at the property. If you are familiar with the process, the room itself is good.

Beautiful, clean, modern, quiet, safe. Heated pool and hot tub with complete bbq setup. Clubhouse, rooftop and outside lounge are perfect for small and large gatherings with friends. Numerous restaurants and stores across the street and within blocks. Great on-site manager. Separate trash chutes for recyclables and entire bin for cardboard. Excellent place to stay, especially for an extended period of time.

Beautiful place!

Business trip didn’t start out very well checking in. Person who was in charge of setting up our lockbox forgot and it took me an hour to get a hold of someone, just so happens the person was still in building with the keys to get in. Other than the check in part, the apartment was new and beautiful. Everything was clean, beds were comfortable! Great location. I would stay here again! I would have given it a 5 star if I didn’t have difficulty checking in.

This property is outstanding. Nothing to critique. The only issue I had is the \"move-in\" process. The so called lock boxes are not easy to find or use.

The apartment was very modern and comfortable. It was a quiet place and the parking is safe. The location was convenient and easy to get in and out of the apartment. The water pressure in the shower is low and the coffee maker didn’t work.

Too new. Noise level is lottery.

I had 1 week stay at GLS or Montrose apartments.

The apartments themselves are spacious and reasonably equipped. Nice spacious gym. The check-in process is tricky but well described in welcome-mails/package. WiFi is very good.
Cons are various.
- yes, there's no reception. So if you have any problems, you have to communicate via email with inevitable delays.
- apartments facing El Camino are noisy. Even with closed windows/balcony.
- the building is newly built, so it's full of chemical smells. Especially in the apartment itself. I contacted the service reg. that problem. Well, they tried to solve it. So the next day the apartment was full of chemical smell of cleaning substance.
- those apartments are not serviced. So you don't get any laundry/cleaning.

Comparing to an old and weary inn hotel next-door, I cannot see much benefits. What do you get? Apartments-format as well, but totally unserviced. Looks shiny, but smells and has noise. Tricky check-in procedures... Only looks better. Well, you decide whether it's worth it.

The property was well appointed and super clean.

Check in could have been easier as getting the key from the lockbox, finding the unit and parking were time consuming. Also, the condo had atleat 10 papers on instruction for different things. All of this could have been consolidated to one.

simply beautiful property. Gym is a ways off, but has a good amount of room and equipment. the apartment was very nice.

Issues with opening lock box. was given wrong code
Unable to read dials on lock box in the underground garage because there is not light
Unable to call the help line to get the right code to unlock the box because there is no phone/cell service in the underground garage.
have to walk down long driveway in the dark with heavy traffic while pulling a suitcase to and from the garage multiple times because the lock box did not work and their was no cell service made things even a bit more of a pain.

All in all the check in process was awful.

The room is really nice, great condition and very comfortable. Only a few areas can be improved: 1. the checkin process is not that easy, feels like a treasure hunt to find the key. At night would be even worse. 2. the blinds in the bedroom is not light blocking, you will wake as sunrise 3. I can't find receipt for expense purpose. it's not at hotel.com and it's not emailed to me. and there is no front desk to ask for a paper copy. what am I suppose to do?
