Comfortable, non-fancy motel that's a 10 minute walk from the San Jose Diridon train station. Nice staff / owners. Fair number of eating options. The closest are right across the street. If you have dire need of a USB port, there are none in the rooms as far as I could see (although that wasn't important to me). All in all, my 3 night stay was fine. I'd stay there again.

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.
