I paid for a room but they never booked it officially . Hotels.com records show that they checked me out @ 12:09 then nine hours later came to my room and kicked me out, at 10 o’clock at night!!!!! He also charged my card for deposit and upon arrival demanded $200 cash or he wasn’t going to check me in. After respectfully leaving, He refused to refund me for the night , and it being so late im now scrambling to find a new room, down $120, and completely dissatisfied. I have video and physical records of everything and will be filing a civil lawsuit on Monday. DO NOT STAY AT THIS MOTEL IS SCAMMING PEOPLE!!!

Great hotel near the San Jose Airport.

We were pleasantly surprised by this hotel near the San Jose Airport. It was very clean, updated and in a safe area with cool Arts and Crafts homes nearby. Restaurants were easily walkable. Parking was easy and shopping was nearby. It was in a University area. The manager and house keeper were super nice at check in. Thanks for the pleasant surprise!!
