Great Place!!

This is in a great area. It’s an older property-bathrooms old, but for the price it’s clean and the breakfast is a great addition. Everyone is very nice and helpful. Great location. You can walk to downtown. I would definitely stay here again!!

Arrived in the evening and was greeted by Destiny. She got us all squared away quickly and helped us get set up with late checkout. She was super friendly, and helpful with us during our stay. When it's time for us to head back, we'll look this spot up.

Close to downtown SJC, clean room, great front desk staff, surprisingly not too noisy despite being right next to the freeway. Water bottle filling station in lobby which I love. Starbucks very close-walkable.

Excellent Stay!

We were extremely tired and still had 3 hours drive time to arrive at our destination. We saw the hotel in the side of the freeway and decided to spend the night. Best decision we have made. Front desk clerk was courteous at check in. Explained the amenities and gave us a room on the 1st floor as we requested. We hit the bed and conked out until 9am this morning! Breakfast had a variety of items to choose from. Highly recommend this hotel.

There were bed bugs in my room and my uncle’s room!
Grace, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Flew in Friday evening to catch the window only front desk service after 10p (understandable). Front desk was sweet and friendly- appreciated that personality. The facility is clean and remote—it’s on the corner of a freeway exit and closest convenience is the gas station across the street. The room is large and spacious for two. Dated facility but it has its charm in a sunny and close to coastal area. Will stay here again on our next visit Pros -facility is old but has a beach sunny charm - staff is sweet and accommodating - remote but close enough to Dana Point and other sights Cons would probably be: - single waffle machine for breakfast- had one customer prep 2 waffles which is at 2:30m each so they were inconsiderate of others waiting. - no accessible vending machine after hours and the office machine ends at 10p so we are advised to go across the gas station

I stay in hotels a lot, over 100 nights this year so far and this was the first in my life that required a $100 damage deposit, that should be disclosed when making the reservation, there was considerable damage in the room when I checked in so took pictures and told the front desk in case there was any way I could be charged ( did a walk around like renting a car) A positive note the bed is actually very comfortable and looked ipgraded
