This property had been recommended to me as a nice place to stay near the San Jose airport. But the room and the bed didn’t meet my standards and I actually got bitten by bedbugs!!!

Great location on a street full of vibrant daytime activities. Great restaurants (highly recommend Zona Rosa), coffeehouses, and cute shops. Our room was very clean, well stocked, quiet, and comfortable. The staff, especially the proprietor, was friendly, kind, and accommodating. Hands down the best motor inn/motel I've stayed at in my years of traveling. Don't forget to check out the neon flamingos on the signage in the evening!

We like staying here for events we are attending at the SAP Center. There are lots of little cafes and restaurants around the motel, plus there is a Whole Foods market nearby. The staff at the motel are friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean and comfortable, and the amenities were the expected: fridge, microwave, TV, coffee machine, hair dryer, iron, shampoo, lotion. There was plenty of hot water for the shower. Parking is free and easy and we felt our car was secure.
