Screwed out of $150
There was an open attic in the room. They refused to give me a refund because I washed my hands when I came into the room, before noticing the attic. I reserved their most expensive room at 6pm, arrived at 6:30pm, and left by 7pm. So they did not lose any business over me, and they had 4 other identical rooms vacant, and more cheaper rooms.

Motel near surgery center
Modern amenities. Pleasant decor. Some traffic noise. Friendly manager gave discount due to stay near surgery center (1 block). TV sound did not work and radio could not set time.

Stay Away! You can do much, much better.
Really Bad Place! My computer and phone were hacked within 1 hour of me leaving there. DO NOT STAY HERE! I wanted to leave leave the first day, owner said I had to stay 2 nights... ( I payed for 7 nights). Then as I packed my truck and waited for my refund receipt the police showed up. He lied and said I would not leave his property. The police could see I was upstanding citizen and there was no problem. Thank You Mountain View PD!..The wife is just as psycho. Stay Away! Room had a microwave, fridge, ac unit all original from the 70's. The counters clean but the floor was FILTHY! Really bad. I used there towels to mop the floor. Towels were super ruff and dirt stained. Shower curtain stained and dirty... No secondary door lock either and when I woke from the first night my door was unlocked! Do yourself a favor and read the other reviews too... I wish I did!

Pleasant stay, kind of noisy due to the busy street but the staff was friendly. Located next to downtown Mountain View so food options are plentiful.

Spruced up Bates Motel
SMALL SMALL SMALL ROOMS. Shower head at my chest - shower stall only 4 inches wider then me. Could not give a detailed receipt. $350 for a $50 room. Best way to describe it is a spruced up Bates mote.

When I arrived the owner was very rude to me, saying that he only had a room with two beds and would I please ensure that I only used one of them! then the next night, when I had to go and get my room key re-set, his wife tried to make out that I had only paid for one night when I had paid for three. Very expensive for low quality accommodation.

The listing showed check-in ending at 11pm, I got a call at 9pm informing me that check-in was ending at 10pm told them this wasn't what the site was and wouldn't be able to make it. So they tell me that they are going to give my room to someone else. They did, even though I paid for it services were not delivered.

Decent budget motel, noisy
Its a bare bones budget motel, so adjust your expectations. Its expensive given the area and the high demand for rooms. Room was clean, bed could use an extra blanket (it was minimal and a bit cool). Bathroom soap was impossible to open from a rather tough plastic bag. Rooms next to El Camino will have lots of noise from the traffic, which is constant, even at night.

It's as nice as a place called "Budge Hotel" could be. It's very old, and the rooms are small, but it's clean and nothing's broken.

Not worth the $$$
Tiny, tiny room. Great for in & out, but the WiFi didn't work. I had to piggy back onto the motel next door, it was dirty behind the bathroom door and the refrigerator did not work. Not worth the $180 we paid. The only virtues were that it was close to my job, it was quiet, the water pressure in the shower was great and no stairs..it was all one level.

Small rooms low price (relatively speaking)
It is the most inexpensive motel in the area and you can usually get a room on late notice. Most of the rooms are tiny but pretty clean. The aroma in the lobby is a turn off and if the rooms had that smell I wouldn't stay but that seems to be confined to their little lobby. It looks funky from the street, a little like going back to the 1950's, which may be when this was built. The rooms closer to the back are better. If you book spring the extra few bucks and get a room with 2 beds as they are a good bit bigger. Their regular rooms are about 10x10 plus a small bathroom and vanity area. They do provide a small refrigerator microwave iron. they have Wifi and decent cable TV.
