Very clean room and comfortable bed. LED TV is large and connects to Netflix and Youtube. Breakfast is also better than expected. Staff are all very nice too.
My stay of six days visiting family was overall very pleasant. There was a high standard of cleanliness in the room, breakfast area and outside on the grounds. The foyer was comfortable and welcoming. It was good to see minor repairs and updates being taken care of around the building. It seemed that there was a genuine desire to make it a good place to stay. Thank you !

Room was good. Clean. Shower good. Seemed a bit noisy. Could hear you word of someone’s conversation right outside my door, and there was a high-pitched sound coming from the ice machine area at times.
Didn’t see a hot tub…?
Very good experience, will stay again. Lots of parking space. Room was big and clean. Daily house keeping facility. Breakfast was good with lots of option. Wi-Fi and AC worked very good.
We had a wonderful one week stay. Excellent staff with great service. Location is great with ample amount of parking. We will definitely come back again when visiting my family in San Jose
Place us remodeled and clean. Good price for the area. Food was good. Parking felt safe.
Over all good got stay.
Two down side. Squeaky bed and we were on we Camino side so a bit noisy but still slept ok.

Disliked: Staff & service
When I checked in, the night desk clerk asked if I needed “room service”. It wasn’t until later that I discovered he meant housekeeping. The room had a single hand towel, no bath towels and no shower curtain. The phone in the room did not work. The only saving grace was the day desk clerk who was helpful and customer oriented.

Well done!
The room was quiet and comfortable. The outdoor patio on the second floor was delightful. Breakfast was ample and tasty. All questions were answered satisfactorily. Staff were friendly and attended our needs. Other guests were friendly. Proximity to Santa Clara University was advantageous.
