“Need a room near the airport? -- This is a good choice.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We just needed a room for the night before our flight out the next day. This hotel was just fine. The room was spacious and clean. The place was quiet and we slept well. Breakfast was your typical one for this tier hotel, but with the nice addition of fresh bananas and hard-boiled eggs. Only one caveat -- we did not see a good place to eat supper and the neighborhood seemed a bit run down. We had a bottle of wine with us and ordered pizza, so all was fine, however. I would stay here again.

“within its category, i found it is a 7.5 out of 10”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 February 2011

my first visit and i have stayed at other Silicon Valley lodging places. within its category (2 star) it is fine. if you are on a budget, this should be your place.

not a hotel, a two story motel but exterior clearly remodeled and interior neat and apparently remodeled, including new wall heating/cooling system.

adequately sized square studio room, neat with king bed, 40"+ Sharp flat screen, attached dvd system, frig, microwave, coffee and coffee maker. i liked the office chair which i could raise or lower. pillow was hard.

at first smelled like a smoking room, but sign said non-smoking room and odor dissipated

kayak.com not the best price; check the rest of the internet.

“Excellent for business trips”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed there for one whole month for a business trip to SV.

Had a very nice room, comfy bed, coffee maker, microwave, fridge and ironing board. Photos on their website are accurate. WiFi internet was surprisingly fast and reliable; definetely a big plus. Also, it was rather quiet despite being on the El Camino Real.
Service is also very good and friendly. Had a problem with the toilet once and it was immediately taken care of. Two thumbs up!

There's no on site pool or work out room or such, but I don't care for these ameneties on business trips. Can't comment on the complementary breakfast, never went there since I don't eat breakfast. Laundromat can be found about a mile away on El Camino.

Would definetely stay there again. Recommended!

Our location is very convenient to being close to the Santa Clara Convention Center and San Jose International Airport along with several large technical companies such as Yahoo, Cisco, MacAfee, Nvidia, making it very easy for business clients to reach their destinations.

“An absolute wonderful suprise!!!!!!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 July 2010

people found this review helpful

Being a travel agent and having stayed all over the world, my standards can be a little unreasonable. However, I have been looking into value hotels for clients that want to stop over in San Jose. This will now be the place I recommend for those on a budget! The room was very clean, the bed very comfortable, and you can't beat the price. Very good location!
