The hotel itself was fine, clean & spacious room. I had completely forgotten about the reviews I had read regarding the train tracks being near the hotel until I was trying to get a good night's sleep after a very long day. I was woken by the train at least 4 times during the night. Unfortunately I would not stay... More

I go to this hotel often as my company's HQ is close by. I like the free laundry, the spacious rooms, the kitchen in the room (I go to a nearby supermarket, and cook my own meals, which I like a lot better than eating at restaurants all the time). The only downside is the noise on the back side... More

I stayed here one night to catch an early morning flight. The price was okay but I guess you get what you pay for! I arrived late and noticed a few people loitering around outside as well as in the lobby. It appears there are a few "long term" guests from what I saw/overheard. The area was somewhat safe, but...

Clean, simple, well done for a mid-level hotel. Room was very clean. Bathroom too. Staff friendly and helpful. We read the other reviews before booking to visit -- and requested the street side (not railroad tracks) and it was quiet. Room was on the 2nd floor, facing street. Free laundry service. One block away from University Dorms -- so if... More

I should have read the reviews before booking the hotel! Then I would have known to ask for a room facing the parking lot. I stayed one night to attend a symposium at Santa Clara University. They put me in a room facing the railroad tracks. The other reviewers who said it was quiet must be heavy sleepers. It is... More

I am sorry for any inconvenience you experienced due to the outside noise. While we understand that your stay was not 100% satisfactory, we would hope that... More

Wonder area to stay for business or pleasure. Convenient location, great restaurants, very close to air travel, CalTrain station is just around the corner, yet surprisingly very quite to relax and sleep.

We stayed there for one night as part of a college visit. It was much nicer than I expected in that is was quite large and comfortable. The hotel is very well priced and the upgrade to the suite cost an extra $30. The suite was a good size with a separate bedroom and bathroom access from the living room.... More

A great option when visiting Santa Clara University. Very convenient to the CalTrain and the no. 10 bus to and from San Jose Airport. The suites are well appointed and had been redone since my last visit. Convenient Starbucks just steps away, and a little commissary downstairs provides basic foods to get you by. Friendly staff.
