I wish the reviews I’d read before booking were more honest. I ended up cancelling 4 hours after arriving at the property, and having to lose the cost of 2 nights just to get out, and scrambling to find another hotel for the night. The location itself has a funky smell, and is falling apart. Everything from the bedding to the towels is subpar. Initially I thought that was fine, for the low cost, but the icing on the cake was that the toilet didn’t flush. Staff was friendly trying to fix it but it just didn’t work and they couldn’t move me to any other room with functional plumbing. Their online policy only states one night fee for last minute cancellations (even including cancellation due to their own plumbing issues) but they actually charge for 2 nights- beware. Also, if you don’t know San Jose, this is an area prone to high cockroach infestations. They’re just there, not much can be done about them. I was really careful to keep my food/belongings sealed up so I didn’t get any hitchhikers. I come to San Jose a lot for work and will absolutely be avoiding this hotel. On the positive side, the location is good for walking downtown or to the local restaurants.

The family that owns the hotel is incredibly kind and responsive. The hotel is older but well kept, very clean, quiet, and extremely convenient. We walked almost everywhere and felt safe in the neighborhood.

I was pleasantly surprised. The room was clean, smell fresh and I saw the cleaning crew cleaning the room across from us cleaning the room while moving every piece of furniture. I felt safe in the neighborhood. I even walked from the SAP (which is four blocks away) around midnight back to the hotel. The bathroom was clean and the front desk staff was very nice and kindly allowed me into the room 20 minutes early. I truly enjoyed my one night I spent there.

The struggle is real
A solid basic 2 queen room. Very clean. Arrived at 6 pm and the temp was 100 degrees outside. The second floor room did not have the AC on and it took 3 hours to cool to reasonable temp. The shower control was very difficult to figure out and the office was unavailable by phone or directly at 7 am when trying to shower. Price is great but the struggles to be comfortable make it so it will not be my choice in the future.
