Top Santa Clara Hotel Reviews

Maple Tree Inn

Maple Tree Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Very good pillows and efficient dispensers in shower. Presence of bathrobes and reading lights on headboard were very pleasant surprises. Clean, modern decor and efficient climate control also added to ambience and added to overall feeling of being in a higher-end hotel. Only negative is that the breakfast buffet has been cheapened and downsized, but that is compared to our last visit there which was over 10 years ago. All of the above plus being within walking distance of a number of restaurants made the MTI an excellent value for the money."
