Very friendly staff, and the room is likely the nicest motel room I've stayed in. Walking distance to a bus stop, Santa Clara university, and a Safeway for groceries. And many restaurants nearby as well. Very convenient!

I have stayed here a couple of times now and I really like it. The rooms have been newly redone. They are simple, in the best way, and very clean. The family that owns the motel is friendly and very helpful. The rates are very reasonable and it’s walking distance from Santa Clara University, which makes it the perfect place to stay when I go to visit my son. Highly recommend.

I paid for a room but they never booked it officially . Hotels.com records show that they checked me out @ 12:09 then nine hours later came to my room and kicked me out, at 10 o’clock at night!!!!! He also charged my card for deposit and upon arrival demanded $200 cash or he wasn’t going to check me in. After respectfully leaving, He refused to refund me for the night , and it being so late im now scrambling to find a new room, down $120, and completely dissatisfied. I have video and physical records of everything and will be filing a civil lawsuit on Monday. DO NOT STAY AT THIS MOTEL IS SCAMMING PEOPLE!!!
