Unexpected jewel conveniently located down the street from the Shark Tank. Very clean, ? updated recently. Walkable to multiple restaurants, responsive staff. It is not a 5-star motel, but for what it is, the family running it does a great job. Suggestions: replace aerators on faucets, supply larger soap bars, kleenex, and directions for the TV. I could not figure out how to work the Sat TV. Definitely will consider staying there again my next visit to San Jose.

Great location on a street full of vibrant daytime activities. Great restaurants (highly recommend Zona Rosa), coffeehouses, and cute shops. Our room was very clean, well stocked, quiet, and comfortable. The staff, especially the proprietor, was friendly, kind, and accommodating. Hands down the best motor inn/motel I've stayed at in my years of traveling. Don't forget to check out the neon flamingos on the signage in the evening!
