The hotel was walking distance from Amtrak and Caltrain and close to grocery and restaurants.

United States1 review“Great location, nice rooms, pick one in the back part of the motel.”We stayed in room 205 or 206, can't exactly remember. It was right on the main road which was LOUD. At all hours. So that was unfortunate. Also we stayed on a Friday night and on Saturday morning, the building next door had their maintenance team out at 7am or so blowing the parking lot - if we had been trying to enjoy a lie-in, we would have been out of luck
Room was clean and comfortable and had all we needed for the nights stay. Parking was available however not sure there would have been parking if we'd arrived later. Plenty of places to eat and coffees to drink nearby. Very close to airport which is what we were looking for. Beautiful neighborhood for walking too.

Good location, comfortable room and excellent price. We stay here maybe once every month or so, just to get away and have a comfortable weekend. Checking is always quick and easy and the staff is friendly as well.

United States3 Reviews1 helpful vote“It was pleasant, surprisingly quiet.”We came back after midnight and when we tried to go in our room our key didn’t work! We had to wait to get a new one that was the biggest inconvenience.
The location was perfect, literally 10 min walk to the sap center!

United States7 ReviewsGoodThe water temperature is wonky, but if you’re looking for short affordable lodging and not looking to spend time in your room, this is a very affordable option.
This is a low-budget, no frills motel. It was fine for us. The staff member was very helpful. The location is near restaurants and services.

United States39 Reviews8 helpful votes“inexpensive for location”The airco was very noisy and was not enough to fight the heat and cycled every few minutes.
Was close to where we wanted to be, and inexpensive for the area. Was also away from the street so road noise wasn’t too bad.

United States6 Reviews“I have stayed at many places in San Jose over the years. This is the one place that I keep going back to.”Because it is close to a intersection, it can be on the noisy side. I prefer that to plane noise.
It has no pool and it’s compact. The parking is one way only. The staff is very accommodating as possible.

United States9 Reviews1 helpful vote“Clean, comfy & in a great location.”The only thing we didn't like - was that we couldn't hook our roku device too the tv, because it's mounted to the wall. It's not a huge deal, but we do prefer to stream our own tv & films (commercial free).
Nice big bed, clean room, cold fridge & accommodating staff. We wanted thought or room would have a bathtub, but they are only on the 2nd floor - since we we're unable to use a 2nd floor room (due to a disability) - they we're kind enough to get us a shower seat.

United States25 Reviews4 helpful votes“Nice stay in good cafe zone location”Stairs are really narrow, and most rooms are walkup - fine for young, healthy people without massive luggage (like we had). There was also a loud buzzing sound - i think it may have been a vent fan in another room. I probably could have asked for this to be addressed but it was late night and i did not want to bother another guest. These were not big problems, though.
Great location with lots of cafeʻs. clean. very nice overall.
