We have stayed at the LG Motor Inn for 20 years and over 100 times as we have property nearby. I don't mind the current construction or the broken heaters, but what I do mind are front desk clerks who, when advised of specific problems, turn it back on the customer. My elderly husband let front desk clerk "M" know... More

We certainly appreciate your longstanding business with us, and appreciate the patience you have with the renovation. We are all anxiously awaiting the time (coming this summer!) when everything is new and in perfect working order. While I agree with the title of your post, I fear the gist of it may have been misconstrued. Because we are unable to... More

Great strong wifi! Clean! My room didn't have a mini fridge and saw that some did. Ask if you want one. I did and was disappointed. As for location my friend lives very close to the motel. But otherwise nothing is close. Town would be about a six block walk. Los gatos is very ritzy. The cost of the place... More

Thanks for the review! Just wait till we upgrade our wireless and put hardwired ethernet jacks in every room as part of the renovation! The fridges will become standard in every room as well, complete with microwaves and big screen TV's. Glad you enjoyed Los Gatos. It really is a wonderful town! More

Do not expect anything but a bed to sleep in and good smelling toiletries. Bathroom was ok too and it was clean enough but....the building itself is Old Dirty, unsafe and outdated, No pool.

I think this shows that even our reviewers don't tend to read our reviews beforehand! Thanks for the wonderful comments about the area we are in. It truly is a stunning town. Regarding the lack of proof that our renovations are underway: as of August 1st, the pool has been excavated but you cannot get to the site yet because... More

Wish I could give 0 stars, the WORST motel I have ever encountered. My husband and I walk into the room and immediately notice that we had been transported back to 1970. The room was horribly outdated. We put our luggage down and shut the door only to find that the door never fully closed, it was literally too small... More

First let me apologize for the treatment you received. I understand the frustration of not being taken seriously (and we know we have a few rough spots - we are working on them), and I have arranged for a full refund to your account. As for the room itself, there isn't much I can say that I haven't said already... More

This is an older place in a very nice area. It is real close to the freeway to San Jose. It is about 10 minutes south of the San Jose area. It is clean and the staff are friendly. They have free wifi and a limited bakery breakfast. There is currently construction in front on the main street. The beds... More

Thanks so much for staying, and taking the time to review us! I appreciate the comment about cleanliness - I have a great housekeeping staff who do wonders with the property. Make sure you come back once our renovations are complete (end of this year, we're thinking) and see just how much better it will be then! More

Thank you so much for staying and for reviewing our property. As you may have noticed by the construction on site, we are in the process of a $5 Million renovation including the guest rooms, so stay tuned. As for the bedspreads and comforters, we are actually quite fanatical about cleaning what we have, so while they are old, they... More

We stay here every few months--have relatives in the area. It is the most economical in the town. But, that does come with a few strings attached. The pictures on their website need to be updated.

Note: The parking lot was under construction, no swimming pool on site. I hardly even noticed the work, they are conscientious enough to only work 9AM-4PM, and there is adequate parking in the grass, with a short walk to the rooms. The Inn has an agreement with the nearby gym, guests get in free. Nice gym and outdoor pool within... More
