Very responsive and helpful front desk. The exterior of the motel is a little dated, but the interior seems freshly renovated and very clean, room has a nice clean laundry smell when we entered, and it seemed to be generally quiet. A lot of great restaurants were walking distance including breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. A few bodegas were just down the street as well. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!

This property had been recommended to me as a nice place to stay near the San Jose airport. But the room and the bed didn’t meet my standards and I actually got bitten by bedbugs!!!

Great location on a street full of vibrant daytime activities. Great restaurants (highly recommend Zona Rosa), coffeehouses, and cute shops. Our room was very clean, well stocked, quiet, and comfortable. The staff, especially the proprietor, was friendly, kind, and accommodating. Hands down the best motor inn/motel I've stayed at in my years of traveling. Don't forget to check out the neon flamingos on the signage in the evening!
