Waist of money

When we checked in our deposits was 250, way more than the actual room. When we booked, it said all fees included witch was not true. The last place we booked through the app was only 20 dollar deposits. We also got a different room and had to pay extra to get the room we originally booked.

A good TV is kind of important to me as I like to relax and watch TV after work. The TV is very outdated. Other than that, the staff and location is very good.

Rooms old and dated, but somewhat OK, but there were people on the floor above us jumping up and down and making lots of loud noise both nights were were there, and other people also staying there said the same thing in different parts of the hotel.

If you are a long term stayer, it's pretty good value for the location. The front desk is usually very responsive and helpful except in the middle of the night sometimes. The rooms are nice. The amenities are okay but the location is top tier. You cannot have a better hotel location.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Location was nice, shared in a small strip mall directly across from Santa Clara University, next to the train station, but noise level was very low. Quiet and comfortable. Only downside was the bathroom sink and tub were stopping up. Stayed 2 nights very comfortably as a solo traveler. Overall, felt like sraing in a studio apartment, which I loved. Would stay again.
