Beautiful little hotel, very nice rooms, friendly, helpful staff. Breakfast is good, not great, but there are a ton of places to eat around it, but definitely good for a morning pick-me-up. Pretty quiet for being right off a major throughfare, just jet traffic noise from SJO, but that's common. I would defintiely stay again next time I am in the area.

Staff was welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was a highlight. The room was nothing fancy but it was clean and comfortable. I wish the lighting in the parking area was better since room entry is from outside. Overall a good night’s rest for the price!

The property was close enough to Stanford. The buffet breakfast was filling. The remodel looks like it was done in haste, but the property was clean. No fridge, but they let you keep your food in their kitchen.

I felt safe and my room was done every day, and for the most part the place was quiet. It’s nicely situated, about a 10-min drive from Stanford, and 25 mins from San Jose airport. The gym could use some love, but then again, so could the whole place. All in all, it’s a solid place to stay.

The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, the shower pressure was perfect. The staff were nice/welcoming and even accommodated early check in with no issue. The location is great and close to everything. This place is super cute and modernized. It felt more like a little apartment vs a hotel. It did not feel like a motel at all.
