Clean, friendly, and homing.
It was an owner operated motel. The property was maintained like home, clean and orderly. The hospitality received from the receptionist (owner) made me felt like an old friend. Will go back in my next trip.

The gentleman at the front desk was very kind. The place was clean and a good value for stay. Just one criticism is the mattress was terrible.
We couldn’t sleep well. It was really hard.

our second stay and more than adequate for our need. Short stay before flying out of SJC. Great price and only minutes from the airport.

Too Loud!
We were woken at least 15 times from street noise, people outside, laundry services noise. In addition, the bed was way too firm. It felt like I was sleeping on the floor.

Very comfortable and clean
I had a great experience. It was easy to check in and Edgard at the front Desk was very friendly. The room was very clean and comfortable. Good selection of restaurants across the street. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip.
