If you are a long term stayer, it's pretty good value for the location. The front desk is usually very responsive and helpful except in the middle of the night sometimes. The rooms are nice. The amenities are okay but the location is top tier. You cannot have a better hotel location.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Location was nice, shared in a small strip mall directly across from Santa Clara University, next to the train station, but noise level was very low. Quiet and comfortable. Only downside was the bathroom sink and tub were stopping up. Stayed 2 nights very comfortably as a solo traveler. Overall, felt like sraing in a studio apartment, which I loved. Would stay again.

Although the hotel was next to a train station it was mostly quiet. What was noisy was the old AC unit. It sounded like a motorcycle when you turn it on. Room smelled like Pine Sol so we tried to open the window to air it out but the windows could only open partially

The property is located close to the Santa Clara Caltrain station and opposite to the Santa Clara university. The rooms are clean and comfortable. There are a couple of cafe options next to the hotel and it is not too far from the San Jose airport. They have parking space as well.

Plenty of parking. Rooms were nice, clean, and comfortable. Kitchen was also nice and we were provided with everything we needed to be able to cook our meals for our entire stay. Conveniently located to shopping, Santa Clara University, and short 10 minute drive to Westfield Mall and Santana Row. Hotel is secure requiring key card or buzz in entry. Will definitely stay again in the future.
