The owners of this property were so inviting and welcoming. They obviously put time and effort into their establishment. The tile shower was great. The room is nice and large. It was perfect for the night. We stayed before flying out the next morning.

Lovely place! The proprietor is kind and welcoming, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and the location can’t be beat—just steps from Santa Clara University. It’s also a great deal for the area, making it perfect for parents visiting their kids.

Very friendly staff, and the room is likely the nicest motel room I've stayed in. Walking distance to a bus stop, Santa Clara university, and a Safeway for groceries. And many restaurants nearby as well. Very convenient!
