“Beware of the counter dude.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 September 2011
4
people found this review helpful

We stayed there Aug 2011. Rooms are not great but are clean and accommodating. As stated in other reviews the parking lot was under construction, but no mention on the web site. We parked in a dirt lot so glad it was not raining. There is parking across the street due to the construction. The web site offers AAA discounts but when you reserve on the internet, there is no credit for it. It does not mention you have to ask at registration. .... then why two stars?... the jerk at the counter... argumentative, condescending and impolite... his name... Gavin M… I forewarn you.... if you don't like cold and unappreciative greetings, then stay away. He simply ignores the basic premise of who we are.... his freaking customers!!!! We have nothing good to say about that @$$ hole. Other than that, I hope you enjoy your stay in Los Gatos.

I am very sorry that you had a rough check-in experience. It can be difficult for even the most experienced among us to keep our cool while we are being yelled at for conditions that we feel are outside of our control (we don't like this construction phase, either!), and for this I sincerely apologize.

As for the AAA discount, AAA advertises themselves as a “Show Your Card & Save” program, and in the front of the AAA Tourbook it lists “Presenting your card at the admission desk” as how you get your AAA discount. We apologize that this proved a problem for you, but we do require seeing the card (otherwise everyone would qualify for it, sight unseen). And our website does have an "Under Construction" notice at the top of the Front page, as well as a picture of the lot so our guests can see exactly what condition we are in. We are grateful is hasn't rained yet as well, and can only continue to hang on until the unpleasant aspects of this exciting renovation are complete!

“Nice stay for the price.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2011

Note: The parking lot was under construction, no swimming pool on site. I hardly even noticed the work, they are conscientious enough to only work 9AM-4PM, and there is adequate parking in the grass, with a short walk to the rooms.
The Inn has an agreement with the nearby gym, guests get in free. Nice gym and outdoor pool within walking distance (1/2 mile).
Overall a nice place to rest your head and clean up for the next adventure. We didn't spend too much time in the room, but when we were there it was clean and quiet. Standard room had a small table and 2 chairs, tv stand, refrigerator, comfortable bed, luggage area, vanity, wall air conditioner/heater unit, and nice clean bathroom with shower only (no tub) and low flow option toilets. Small, but served the purpose and worth the price.
Continental breakfast included Starbucks coffee, juice, fruit, yogurt, granola bars, pastries, biscotti.
Desk staff was very courteous, helpful in giving out directions.

Thank you for the review! Obviously the parking lot being under construction isn't the most convenient thing to have, but we are excited about the long term results: a new lobby and restaurant, new pool and fitness center, new guest laundry, renovated rooms and amenities, updated exterior style and design.

We work really hard at keeping our guests as happy as they can be during this time, despite the inconvenience of construction, and we welcome your opinions and thoughts. Look for us again by next summer (2012) to be new and construction-free!

“Excellent spot for a low budget stay in Los Gatos”

A bargain for those on a budget, yet unwilling to compromise on the location. Just keep your expectations in check; all you're getting is a clean, quiet room.

“More than adequate - it is not the Ritz - It works for me.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2011

I have been staying here since June 2008 at least 3 nights a week for my job. Over the years there have been an issue or two but overall I am pleased with the accomadations and the price. It works for me. I have driven busses all over the western US and Canada and have experienced many motels and hotels. This is very adequate. The manager and his staff have always been pleasant and accomadating to my needs. Some of the people i work with stay here and are also pleased. My wife, who is very conscience about overall clealiness stays with me on occasion. Ray from Galt

“Hotel From Hell”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2010

people found this review helpful

My wife and I went on a 42 day road trip throughout Canada and the USA, travelling over 7000 miles. This hotel was by far the worst experience in accomodations that we stayed in. Their website it totally misleading, which makes the place look like Shangri La. The room was extremely outdated, having a bed mattress of at least 30 years old, the air unit was very noisy, and the room door did not close tightly, allowing cigarette smoke to enter into the room from smokers outside. The breakfast consisted of a juice box and a packaged danish. Do not waste you money, stay clear. By the way, they charged $120.00 plus tax US currency, for this dump.

We thank you for staying with us, and are truly apologetic the property did not meet your expectations.

The renovation we have had planned for over three years now has been unfortunately delayed by a conflict with some utilities located on-site, but once this is resolved we will be able to address all the concerns your posted about. Until then, we recognize that we aren't modern, but have many frequent travelers who recognize that for what we are (the Price Leaders in a very expensive location), we do our best. And the simple continental breakfast will be one of the first things changed once we have our new breakfast spot built!
