Our room was fine, nothing fancy but large and clean with refrigerator, microwave, etc. Our issue was that just as we were going to sleep, the smoke/co2 alarm started chirping, and the hotel had no solution for us other than to change rooms. We had to pack up everything and change floors/rooms. Further, we were using the pull out bed, so we had to set that up (again), and all the old bedding was still on the bed. We were so tired, we took off the old /dirty bedding, piled it in the corner, remade the bed with fresh bedding and went to sleep.

Waist of money

When we checked in our deposits was 250, way more than the actual room. When we booked, it said all fees included witch was not true. The last place we booked through the app was only 20 dollar deposits. We also got a different room and had to pay extra to get the room we originally booked.

If you are a long term stayer, it's pretty good value for the location. The front desk is usually very responsive and helpful except in the middle of the night sometimes. The rooms are nice. The amenities are okay but the location is top tier. You cannot have a better hotel location.

Location was nice, shared in a small strip mall directly across from Santa Clara University, next to the train station, but noise level was very low. Quiet and comfortable. Only downside was the bathroom sink and tub were stopping up. Stayed 2 nights very comfortably as a solo traveler. Overall, felt like sraing in a studio apartment, which I loved. Would stay again.
