One Night Only, Bill Maher in Silicon Valley

Mark your calendars! The always funny and sometimes scandalous comedian, Bill Maher, is coming to Silicon Valley.
All of us here at Camino Inn and Suites are very excited about this upcoming event. If you are in the area on February 23, you should take advantage of this great show.

Bill Maher will be at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts on Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 7:00PM. Be sure to reserve your tickets early.

Bill Maher is well-known for his witty, politically charged humor. A self-proclaimed Libertarian, Bill Maher is no stranger to stirring up political controversy. He started out doing stand-up comedy in the late 1970s. Since then, he has made various movie and television appearances. His biggest role to date has been as the quick-witted host of Politically Incorrect, a discussion panel format political talk show with a revolving door of celebrity guests. Politically Incorrect first aired on Comedy Central in 1993 then moved to ABC in 1997 and ran until 2002. Today, you can find Bill Maher on HBO where he is the host of Real Time with Bill Maher. His biting, liberal leaning comedy has created a vast, loyal following. I’m sure this crazy presidential election campaign season has inspired a great deal of hilarious new material. This show is a definitely a must see.

If you want a night full of smart political humor you’ll be talking about for days, be sure to buy your tickets to Bill Maher now before it’s too late. Tickets are available at ticketmaster.com and at events.mercurynews.com

Here at Camino Inn and Suites, we care about our guests. We want you to make the most out of your stay in Silicon Valley. Check back here to find out about future events coming to Silicon Valley.

Camino Inn and Suites Testimonials from Tripadvisor

Highlights from Client Testimonials :

“If you need a place to get a good night’s sleep and hot shower, this property delivers at a great price…. This is one of the properties that partners with Stanford’s Packard Children’s Hospital to provide discounts to families whose children are being treated at the hospital. Big thumbs up for that, and I anticipate that I will be staying here again while my niece is being treated.”

“This is definitely a pleasant property, particularly fresh, excellent spot in the Silicon Valley, right in El Camino Real….Staff was nice and inviting. Cost-free breakfast time was great, we loved the fresh donut. For a quite inexpensive price, that was a true discovery. We will send with no hesitation friends and family.”
“The hotel is nice and practical if you’re a family: there’s fridge and a kitchenette in the ensuite rooms so that you fix a snack anytime. The decoration is simple but not unpleasant – no frills, none of your
fussy bright gilded appliances and ornate bed spread…and the California sunshine is magic…EXCELLENT value for your money. I’d recommend it if you want to use it as a base to visit Silicon Valley, one of the cheapest place in Mountain View.”
“Wonderful employees and service. Great location on a tranquil street with plenty of parking next to the door. Quick stroll to Mountain View town center. The area approximately the hotel is excellent with spots to have a meal within walking distance. I would stay here again.”
“I was impressed by the lush landscaping and the charming pots of red flowers hanging from posts.  I wish the best to Mr. Seymore and all the staff.”

Shoreline at Mountain View Offers Fun for All—On or Off Shore.

If you enjoy residing at Camino Inn and Suites hot-spots, prepare yourself for a great destination here by the Shoreline at Mountain View. This little piece of sunshine heaven is conveniently located near Silicon Valley, California. There are nearby attractions ranging from family oriented to nightlife. Some of these include Six Flags Park, San Antonio Shopping Center, Shoreline Amphitheater, and Mountain View’s Performing Arts Center. All of these are located within a thirty minute radius or closer. Most of them are opened all year round and can be added to your agenda with ease.

While some guests like to be out and about, some prefer a more quiet night in. No worries, Mountain View’s Shoreline has some great things to offer you and your company. Miles of paved, winding rounds swirl through the beautiful landscape and its lovely water. The roads are versatile and allow anything from walking to inline skating. You can also revel at the exquisite wildlife and birds at observation decks. One of Mountain View’s missions is to protect a Burrowing Owl, a Species of Special Concern while protecting all the Shoreline’s inhabitants. There is a dog park nearby to provide your loved pet some much-needed exercise and play time.

California is always ready to have its local and visiting residents outside and adding golf courses was one of the few ideas to make sure it would happen. Shoreline Golf Links is a stunning course, set amongst rugged mountains and vivid grass. While the beauty is welcoming, do not be fooled completely. It is a championship-level course and provides a great challenge to players, who may one day share their stories of glory that occurred there.

Maybe you’re looking for something more on the educational side, a skill you can take back once your visit at Mountain View is over. Shoreline Aquatic Center and Café is the best hidden treasure. Here you can enjoy some great food and remarkable scenery among the water, but actually take a variety of classes. They include Basic Sailing, Windsurfing, Kayaking or Private Lessons, if desired. They welcome children and within seasons have camps set for different ages and subject interests. They have a wide selection of equipment you may rent out by the hour or day(s).

This is only a handful of ideas and places where Camino Inn and Suites customers can visit in the California area. The most important part about a trip, whether for pleasure or business, is the memories it leaves behind. At the Shoreline, you can rest assured the memories will be just as pleasant and extraordinary as they are in photos.
