The gentleman at the front desk was very kind. The place was clean and a good value for stay. Just one criticism is the mattress was terrible. We couldn’t sleep well. It was really hard.

The owner of the property is nice, very kind, friendly, and personable. He is great with kids. A year ago, he gave a bag of M&Ms to my 4 year old nephew for free. When I come to San Jose, this is my go to spot because of the owner.

Front desk agent was nice and friendly. The room with most of the amenities are modern. If you are a light sleeper. I would recommend to bring earplugs. You can hear people closing their doors and walking past your room. The area is quiet and not sketchy. Would recommend if you need a small staycation or visiting SCU
