Cute little inn

Staying a couple nights for a concert. Great hidden little gem. Very old , but kept clean and family run! The family was sincere and helpful. It was quiet at night and the location was perfect! Historical area in San Jose and Santa Clara!

This property is across the street from Santa Clara University, which allows one to walk to the campus for events like graduation. The rates are less expensive than other surrounding properties. The owner is very nice and accommodating.

The hotel is right next to the Santa Clara University campus and there are a lot of great restaurants nearby. Safeway is one block away. Though it is at a bigger intersection, you cannot hear any street noise. The owners are great and very welcoming. We had a very pleasant stay and would definitely go back again.
