Great location, walking distance to dining areas and shopping. Great breakfast place (Southern Kitchen) was accross the hotel. Delicious food. I also enjoyed a trail run along the creek just a block away from the hotel. Easy check in and very friendly, helpful staff. We were here a week ago and came back. Highly recommend!

There was a lot of confusion when checking in. They did not know which room was available. It took 20 minutes to sort it out. I did get a room upgrade to an executive suite, though. Sitting on the bed, the top cover was making my legs itch. Not sure if it was dirty, or what, but it was certainly a problem. Also, when I went to check out at 9:45AM, the door to the office was locked and no one there. I stay here every 6 weeks for the last 4 weeks. I hope that this isn’t a sign to come.

The hotel is in a good location to walk into town. Parking is tight, but available. It’s a historic building with a nice courtyard. It’s outdated and not in a charming, historic way. There’s a drop ceiling in the bathroom and the drywall wasn’t put in correctly. One spot had a hole that someone had shoved Kleenex in. The vanity looks like it had taken a beating and the faucet wasn’t attached correctly. The cold water was fine but it was nearly impossible to get the hot to turn and when you did it moved the whole fixture. The sink also wasn’t draining. The bathroom was long and skinny so you had to sit sideways on the toilet or you didn’t fit. There was also paint separating and sliding down the wall. The seating in the room was a folding chair. Someone had shoved bits of Kleenex in the peepholes in the door. The remote for the fan and lights was broken and taped together to hold the batteries in. It barely worked and turning the light on and off was an issue unless you didn’t mind the fan off and used the switch. Throughout the night the light would turn itself on, repeatedly. The walls were also paper thin and you could hear everything the neighbors said or did. The room wasn’t dusty, but judging by our socks the floors weren’t very clean. They also charge way more through Expedia. One of the nights alone was $75 more. I’ve had hotels contact me to let me know. Here they show you after and say book direct next time. I’ll pass on a repeat visit.

Everything about the place was nice, I like how each sections of rooms has their own gate that u have to unlock for u to get inside, good way to prevent outsiders from being in the area, area also looked nice in general, there was a little patio area by my room, I never went but I imagine if I came with a friend we would’ve gone out there for sure, the room was great, spacious, big closet thought I didn’t need it, bathroom was a bit small but not an issue, they provide with lotion, body wash shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom, the towels are one of the best I’ve used at hotels, they were very soft compared to other places I’ve been. I’m not a coffee drinker but room had a coffee machine and some expressos to choose from, also came with a fridge (also had 2 waters in there waiting but idk if that’s from previous customer or if the hotel provides it) and a microwave, I bought food from my place that I was able to heat up thanks to that. although I didn’t use it, place also had an office area, would be great for someone if they wanted to some work at the place, the TV had a whole selection of channels to choose from, the bed was a bit noisy when u would get on/off and move around but otherwise really comfortable, also the area/street is all looks great would definitely recommend this place, and would like to come again

I had a mixed experience with EV charging, which is what prompted me to write this review. However, in the interest of fairness, I am also including all the other aspects of my stay. Location: Excellent! Just a few minutes walk from the core of the Los Gatos business district, which is very cute and filled with restaurants and shops. Hotel grounds: A lovely garden courtyard that is clean and well maintained. Room interior: Clean and spacious. It was equipped with a mini fridge, microwave, and even proper plates and silverware. The shower was not enclosed and did not have a curtain, so it had a tendency to get water in the rest of the in the long, skinny bathroom despite best efforts to avoid it. Hotel breakfast: Prepackaged muffins and similar. EV charging: Unfortunately access to the chargers was intermittent. There are 3 chargers (one non-Tesla, 2 Tesla), which is excellent for a building of less than 30 rooms. Charging is free, which was a nice unexpected perk. Day 1: I arrived after the office closed at 10 PM. The EV chargers are installed in locked cabinets, so I was not able to access them on my first night. Day 2: The code provided by the front desk did not unlock the charger. The front desk used a key to unlock it. Day 3: At 9:30 PM, I learned that the hotel does not allow overnight charging; a non-guest might unplug my car and charge their car at cost to the hotel. This struck me as a bad reason. I was not able to charge before departure.
