“Cheap and Comfortable”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2010

We found this hotel off the 101 in San Jose looking for a affordable place to spend the night. The hotel isn't that big two levels with doors outside. We could hear the traffic at times since our room faced the highway. The room was clean and smelled OK. Carpet was fresh and the bathroom was clean. Sheets looked clean. Although I did pull the bedspread back as soon as I walked into the room. Older television set of course at a place like this your not going to find a flat screen.

There was a mini fridge and microwave. The towels could have been a little bigger and softer. Light in the small bathroom could have been a little brighter. They did offer a small continental breakfast till 9am. Seemed to be fresh paint on the walls. Bed was comfortable, pillows were soft. Maybe a little too soft for me. I need to bend one in half so I would be a little more comfortable. The room was a little warm, I tried to figure out the A/C but with no luck. Actually I was little afraid to turn it on fearing dust might fly out. They did offer free internet which was nice.

I was expecting much worse. I was pleasantly surprised. It was a great place to just spend the night if your passing through town. I wouldn't spend a whole weekend here. There was a Denny's just next door and it was right off the highway access. We didn't seem to hear our neighbors. Of Course we were so tried since we checked in at 2am. I felt safe leaving the car in the parking lot. We did park right in front of our room. I would stay here again if I need to pass through town again.

“Very noisy”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 October 2008

person found this review helpful

6th OCTOBER 2008 My wife and I were on our way back to SFO for our homward trip to the UK, we booked into this clearly aged motel, and were allocated according to our request "ground floor twin queen" room 110.
Whilst the room was a little tired all was ok until about 11:30pm when the noise started doors slamming, both car and hotel, laughter, "not ours" and this continued until about 2-2;30am.
No coffee, very hard pillows, very noisy toilet flush, I mean noisy.

“ripped off”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 March 2008

well your picture on the website was very misleading. The room smelled like mildew and body odor I had to go and purchase towels and washcloth for my wife and I due to the poor and disgusting ones that were being supplied.Also the plumbing was in poor condition.

I would have brought this to the front desk' attention but when I
checked in I had just driven 7 hours to get there thru the night
and needed to rest and also my wife had mentioned if I made the girl at the front desk mad she came across as the type that would not be kind. Well we were right about this as it would seem someone who had my bank card info has charged fraudulently and I am not to happy
with my days inn experience. And when I did go over the bill with the manager she was right there with him and insisted I stayed there for 6 days once again trying to cheat me so I believe it to be a problem and I would hope to hear back from someone concerning these matters before I go public

  • Liked — next to police station felt safe
  • Disliked — the manager and assistant

“Noisy!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 June 2006

First the good..the TV and the air conditioner work. We especially liked the TV. When it is turned on, the volume is automatically adjusted to a low setting. Oh, and they have wireless internet access in the rooms.

And now the rest...the hotel itself (not furnishings) looks a little worn. It could use some updating & cleaning. It gives an overall appearance of cleanliness, but if you look too close...

Also, we stayed in room 201. Beware! This room is on the freeway side. You hear freeway noise all ------- night ------- long. The only time you noticeably do NOT hear the freeway is when the air conditioner is on! So we heard intermitten freeway, air conditioner, freeway, air conditioner, freeway...you get the idea. The bed was OK. The pillows about an inch thick and all foam. Only two. No extras in the room. We didn't ask for more either. The funiture is in OK condition

The "continental" breakfast provided is less than average. Understanding that a continental breakfast is nothing more than cereal, milk, juice, fruit & pastries, that's exactly what you get. However, when we arrived at 11:30 PM on Friday, the cereal was still (already?) out in the lobby. They were in one of those plastic see-through containers where the cereal pours out of the bottom, but it still gives the impression of not being fresh! The bananas looked like they were ready to make Banana Bread with. Also, it is highly advised that you get there early enough, otherwise, what little there is will be gone. And it doesn't appear to ever be replenished. There is a Denny's within easy walking distance. And a Chuck E. Cheese across the street if you are so inclined.

If you should feel the need to ask the front desk any questions about the area , don't bother. The desk clerk we spoke hadn't a clue. For the price though, this Days Inn is about what one would expect.
