Clean, safe, and reasonably priced for the area. Breakfast included juices,coffee,tea,milk, waffles, fresh fruit, bagels and packaged bakery goods, power bars, cheese omelets, sausage links, microwaveable burrito and breakfast sandwich. The bed was comfortable. We were on the El Camino Road side. Traffic was not to noisy. The bathroom was small. A pool was present. A short drive to highway 101. Santana Row has a mall of restaurants in an open area which was nice. Free parking across for two hours across the street. Ten minutes from the hotel.
