Vacations Close To Applegate Park Zoo

This is a solid basic hotel. Ed at the desk (perhaps the owner) was friendly and kind. Initially there seemed to be no available rooms before the official check-in time, but he called my cell phone after we left when he found one. Checkout was also hassle free. A young man who looked like he might be Ed's son simply took our key and off we went. Wifi worked well. Plentiful free parking, and the location was convenient for San Jose sightseeing. The room had quirks one often finds in an inexpensive hotel. The bathroom light switch was in an unexpected spot--it was originally activated through a motion detector. The shower was hot with good water pressure. Despite the fact that the shower door seemed to be installed improperly, it did not leak water on the floor. There was a wine refrigerator that cooled my water bottle well, with the benefit that we could see stuff we left there. We were disappointed that housekeeping left more hair than usual in the shower and sink, but it seems that they were down to part-time housekeeping staff. The door was not well sealed, so my spouse used his towel to keep out the draft and noise. And the air conditioner seemed to turn off before the room reached the desired temperature. Normally I might give a hotel like this three stars, but Ed's kindness bumps my rating up to four. For a short stay, this hotel was just fine.

Room was clean and staff was friendly.

Staff was Great, very friendly and helpful. We stayed for two weeks and made use of all the facilities. Laundry room was clean and convenient. Our room was perfect for what we needed. Carpet in the room could have used a little cleaning, but other than that everything else was good. We made use of street parking, which we found to be safe and convenient. Had to drive a little distance for groceries. Although there are plenty of prepared food places within walking distance. Would stay here again.

Everything was just off the hood
