Jay and others -- last year I stayed at the Comfort Inn, at 1561 West El Camino
Real, in Mountain View. It wasn't exactly luxorius (no restaurant, though
there are a million places to eat on El Camino), but it was cheap, had
high-speed Internet, and was very convenient to the CHM (where VCF is).
My favorite amenity: there is a movie-theatre style hot popcorn machine in the
lobby, and the popcorn is free.
Of course if Sellam gets us a discount rate at a Marriott, such as at VCF East,
I imagine that would be much nicer than the Comfort Inn...
