I liked that there was lots of parking available when I was there. It was quiet.

It’s a quiet place it’s not luxury so if you’re looking for that then you need to go spend 300 a night somewhere else. This place has clean sheets towels and blankets with a heater and it’s inexpensive.

It was quaint and pleasantly humble. The staff were decent and civil.
Short visit. Short money. Solo?

Everything was cleaned but felt dirty, I arrived two hours after check-in and had to wait another 30 minutes while they cleaned my room. There is no waiting area, so I had to wait outside with my bags standing.
Coming into the room everything is old and worn, there are limited wall outlets so if you want to use the fridge or the mircrowave you have to unplug the tv and cable box, you cant use both at the same time.
They give you the remote control at the office, apparently tvs get stolen pretty regularly which tells you about the area.
This isn't a place i would recommend for anyone only if you want a cheap place to sleep for a night next to some weird people, thankfully I was only there for two nights. I never felt safe or felt my things were secure in the room. Anything can happen. Thankfully my wife and son didnt come on this work trip because it was gross.
By the way, blankets are stained, pillowcases are stained with who knows what kind of bodily fluid, but it was red and brown.
Get in, get out.

With the bad reviews I expected the worse but it was the opposite. Staff was friendly. Room was in good condition. A/C worked awesome. We did have to request more toilet paper but besides that, we would definitely stay here again

Great price for a basic room, I was looking for a place near San Jose State University, and it was by far the lowest price room available and easy to get to just a few minutes south of 280 freeway from campus
seemed fairly safe and clean room, though the staff left several very strong, smelling fragrance packets throughout the room, but as soon as I realized that’s where the heavy smell is coming from, I put them away and aired the room out. Then it was
The building is definitely old, but felt safe enough for me and I’ll definitely go again when I needed inexpensive place to spend the night near campus the front desk staff was fine though. I did have to go back to get the Wi-Fi password. Definitely a good price for a safe fairlyquiet room.

Pay $200 for a $40 a night experience
Comforter was torn. pictures do a good job at making it look clean but didnt feel clean inside. Safety was a concern during my stay. seems like a place people go to use drugs and other nefarious activities. facility needs updating.

Cheap fleabag motel
Cheap fleabag motel - sheets either had bugs or used cheap laundry detergent that created rash. Upon arrival, there was massive amount of air deodorizer to mask the stench. Mold in the shower and toilet. Missing light bulbs.
On the flipside, good Mexican music from the nearby taqueria and luckily they turned it off late night.
