Very friendly staff, and the room is likely the nicest motel room I've stayed in. Walking distance to a bus stop, Santa Clara university, and a Safeway for groceries. And many restaurants nearby as well. Very convenient!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I have stayed here a couple of times now and I really like it. The rooms have been newly redone. They are simple, in the best way, and very clean. The family that owns the motel is friendly and very helpful. The rates are very reasonable and it’s walking distance from Santa Clara University, which makes it the perfect place to stay when I go to visit my son. Highly recommend.
