The furniture in the room was very old and worn. Room itself was adequate, bathroom was clean and well stocked with amenities. Was surprised by the $200 security deposit that was not mentioned when booking the room. Parking and ev charging were very convenient.

Reserved for two days through Hotels.com in the middle of the night from the Stanford ER due to a family emergency. At the time, I was expecting to stay two nights. When I checked in on the first day, I advised I wouldn't need the second day because my husband was being discharged. I was not able to cancel the second day without penalty. I tried to change the reservation, minutes after I made it and was not able to change without penalty. Cancelation policy too restrictive.

We arrived to check in at around 6pm only to be told that our room was damaged and that they did not have a room for us. They said that Wotif would be in touch to organise alternative accomodation (which was a disaster in itself). When asked why we were not notified earlier the receptionist said that he was notifying us now and that it was our bad luck. Absolute disgrace. Avoid this place.

There was nobody at the front desk when I arrived. I called the property with no answer. After. 10 minutes a manager came in. I quickly checked in. Key to room wouldn't work. Went back to front desk and got another key. That wouldn't work either. I forced the manager to come to the room up with a new key and it didn't work either. We went back to front desk where he changed room. I made him go to the room to open, and it worked. This is a $50 hotel going for over $200. I'd highly recommend you stay elsewhere.

The hotel provides a secure and convenient location near San Jose and San Francisco. The breakfast is a pleasant way to start the day. The beds are comfortable, and the bathroom is well-kept. The parking facilities offer a sense of security. Overall, this hotel is a recommended choice for families seeking a short stay while visiting relatives.
