Hotel Recommendation
The Lace Museum recommends Hilton Garden Inn Fremont. The hotel is a 1/3 of a mile from the museum with an on-site restaurant and is near other restaurants and a grocery store. Please note that room rates are influenced by events in the surrounding businesses. If you have flexibility in the dates you visit the Museum, you may find more favorable rates. Also, Hilton Garden Inn does not participate in the Alameda County Emergency Shelter Hotel Voucher program as do other hotels in the area.
