Decent place for the price and of course I suppose you are in the middle of the city so easy access to local attractions. The staff was friendly and helpful. Place is a bit old so likely in need of some renovation soon. Still worth it overall.

The room and bathroom were very clean and the bed comfortable. The microwave and refrigerator were a nice touch, and, of course, the coffee maker. Parking was easy and available and the staff were very friendly and helpful. This motel is very convenient to the SAP Center and there are numerous cafes and fast food options close by, as well as a Whole Foods store down the street aways.

We were in San Jose for some hockey games at SAP Center. This motel was in a great location to walk to the game. It is close to downtown making travel easy and there were many walkable food and coffee places. The room was clean and in good condition. It has a microwave and fridge, which was all that we needed. This was a great room for the price but if you like all the bells and whistles of big, name brand hotels, you might find this lacking. The price point more than makes up for the difference. This will likely become our go-to place to stay when we visit San Jose in the future.

A really good, clean, quiet comfortable motel. The staff was responsive. There's good food very close by, especially for breakfast. It was an easy walk from the train station, and an even easier walk to a bus to get to the airport. And very reasonably priced! Most of all, I slept very comfortably here. Like I was at home.
