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.

I think the place in general and its location are just great. For the price as well compared to other places it's pretty good too well worth it. Although I do suggest that they manage their housekeeping staff better as they were pubic hairs and a used bar of soap left in the tub which everything else seem like it was clean just inside the tub it seems like they did not clean it. Other than that everything else was pretty okay better than what you'd expect for the price and the floors are very squeaky
