This was a perfect place to stay before an early flight the next morning. Was able to park directly in front of my room. The room was modest but comfortable and very clean. Ed at the front desk was super sweet. Thanks!

No frills, but very clean everywhere. Refrigerator and microwave are handy. Bed was firm (which I prefer). A number of good food and coffee places right across the street. Excellent value for the price.

The owners of this property were so inviting and welcoming. They obviously put time and effort into their establishment. The tile shower was great. The room is nice and large. It was perfect for the night. We stayed before flying out the next morning.

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.
