This property is across the street from Santa Clara University, which allows one to walk to the campus for events like graduation. The rates are less expensive than other surrounding properties. The owner is very nice and accommodating.

Great value hotel ! Perfect just to spend the night. Clean and great service. A little out dated but that’s where the value comes in
Omar, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is right next to the Santa Clara University campus and there are a lot of great restaurants nearby. Safeway is one block away. Though it is at a bigger intersection, you cannot hear any street noise. The owners are great and very welcoming. We had a very pleasant stay and would definitely go back again.

Everything was wonderful
Mariem, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I paid for a room but they never booked it officially . Hotels.com records show that they checked me out @ 12:09 then nine hours later came to my room and kicked me out, at 10 o’clock at night!!!!! He also charged my card for deposit and upon arrival demanded $200 cash or he wasn’t going to check me in. After respectfully leaving, He refused to refund me for the night , and it being so late im now scrambling to find a new room, down $120, and completely dissatisfied. I have video and physical records of everything and will be filing a civil lawsuit on Monday. DO NOT STAY AT THIS MOTEL IS SCAMMING PEOPLE!!!
