My daughter and I only stayed one night, but the owner is super kind, the room was clean and inviting, water was hot, it’s in a very convenient location, and we got to park right in front of our room. Definitely recommend staying here and will stay here when I’m ever in the area.

Very clean and well maintained property. They have minimal supplies in the room to keep the cost of stay low, but that is completely okay. Their location is near SCU and Santa Clara Caltrain station, bordering San Jose and SJC airport.
