All is about location, this hotel is located in city center, and you can walk to all bars and restaurants in Los Gatos and go back on foot. Earlier, when this hotel was run by Tom, it was much better, in terms of carying for clients, Nowadays, when owner changed, all ic changed, and no longer free parties ;-(. Anyway, this hotel is still nice, rooms clean and equipped with latest/greatest sat TV channels, free DSL and Wifi. They also have a very nice coffee in the lobby, for free for hotel guest. And coffee is real (European style). Recommend staying in this hotel

“Great value and location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2011
3
people found this review helpful

We stayed here for several nights to visit family and found it to be safe, affordable and clean, with a great location downtown. The hotel rooms are similar to duplexes, each with it's own separate outside entrance. There is a very nice gated garden and patio area on the main street, close to shopping, dining, and nightlife. The staff was friendly and helpful, answering any questions we had about things to see and do in Los Gatos. The room contained a king-size bed, a comfortable chair, a TV, (flat-screen, I believe) a small closet, and a bath with tub and shower. The only thing lacking was a pool and the parking behind the building was pretty tight, but it was a very good value compared to other places in Los Gatos. We plan to stay there the next time we visit, and would highly recommend it.

“Good, only 1 thing...Heater..If you don't need to use heat, it's great.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2010

This place is great in every way, the only reason I had to give it 3 stars was their bad choice in heating systems..a salesperson did a number on the hotel I think. The heater that is built into the wall has a remote. It's awful. We had to be trained on how to use it. You can enter a tempature in, and turn it on, unfortunetly, the room gets way too hot because the "Auto" does not work-you can only use Medium or High, so it runs constantly. We had the heater on and the bathroom window open all night to keep it tolerable in the room. It's probably much better to stay here in the summer when you don't have to fool around with the heater-it was about 38 degrees the night we stayed and could never get "the balance". Other than the heater, I liked the price of $108/night, the desk, fridge, micro, coffee maker, bathroom, closet, flat screen (need more channels please-Direct TV pretty limited!) and parking was easy. The bed was decent, not a featherbed but good and comfy. Staff friendly. Lots of coffee options in the lobby, Keurig and Nespresso..nice touch. It's a motel with very clean rooms--don't expect the Ritz, a pool or a bar, but a nice sleeping room with modern conveniences and in an extremely desirable location in the village. You can walk to trails, stores, cafes and restaurants..everything is right at your fingertips. I would highly recommend if you don't need the heat on.

“Great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2010

people found this review helpful

This is a one story small motel located on a slope with most of the units situated around a courtyard featuring tables shaded by umbrellas. While we were there it was very quiet at night and although noise was occasionally heard between rooms, during our stay the other guests were not loud and this did not pose a problem. We rented a suite with a kitchen and it was well-proportioned with an adequate kitchen and bathroom. Access is through locked gates to the courtyard and doors to the units. A main advantage is the central location and there are probably 25 restaurants and numerous shops within a 1 - 15 minute walk. There was a farmers market in the park at W. Main and Santa Cruz on Sunday morning. There was also a jazz concert in this park on a Wednesday evening.

“Great little hotel”

We were in Los Gatos for a wedding of a friend. We fell in love with the twon. The Garden Inn has a fantastic location. They offer free Nespresso coffee and free fresh fruit, juice and danishes all day long. Also for 99 dollars a night nit pricey. The rooms were not very big, but it was clean, and the bathroom was great. I do agree with other posts that the walls are very thin. We woke up from our neighbors snoring....but otherwise I would defo stay here again. Also very helpfull people t the front desk. They even looked up thngs for us on internet andbrought the print outs to our room.
