Little noise from adjacent units, but that was drowned out by the heater/ air conditioner unit right next to bed. For unexplained reason, the air conditioner compresser ran off and on throughout the night, while set for heat only. Other Hotels with this type of unit did not, and were much quieter. Staff could barely communicate, as spoke foreign language.

I really wanted to like this iconic old motel
This is an old motor court from about 1935. It’s right in a very busy intersection in an industrial area near a 101 off ramp. It’s run by a family with young children who live on the property and they are really trying to keep the place up. The outdoor area and landscaping are in very good condition. The room was clean and was furnished with used hotel-chain furniture which is fine. There was no clock and no hangers, plus the hanging space was over the nightstand. The lighting was iffy. The real problem is the dicey neighborhood. As a woman traveling alone, I didn’t leave my room after dark. I booked this as the cheapest last-minute room in the area. There is a Burger King on one side and a Carl’s Jr. on the other. The semi trucks began rolling by about 5am. This place is okay if you’ll arrive late, sleep, and leave early. Don’t bring kids. On the other hand, most of these old courts are gone so I was glad to have the chance to stay in one, though next time I’ll spend the extra money to stay in a more secure location. When’s the last time a “toilet was sanitized for my protection?”

Thank you for your feedback. We are always trying to improve. We are working with the city and doing are bit to help with not only the San Jose issue but the California issue of homelessness. The area may give a "dangerous" impression, but I assure you it is not. I personally make sure our guest are safe. I hope you do give us another chance.

The place is small but sufficient for my need. It's great that it has microwave. The bathroom water wasn't always hot. It fits the purpose of just staying for the night. Great staff - very polite and respectful (I know, should they all be? In my past experience it is not always the case). The door lock system was a bit clumsy and it didn't seem to work every time. Otherwise, everything was fine.

For a motel in an area with extremely expensive hotels this place is a great deal. The room was very clean and well maintained and the staff was remarkably friendly. The only downside was that it has virtually no amenities, coffee service does not start until 7:00 AM and because road noise is a problem. However, as single story motels go it is a great deal and I do recommend.

Do not stay here.
People who said this was a “decent” place to stay are crazy. The room was dirty, hair on my sheets and in the shower. the sheets were dingy and the pillows looked like they hadn’t been replaced since 1972. It looks like a place that Norman Bates would own. This place makes Motel 6 look like The Ritz. Thumbs way down.

This is very old motel with no phones in the room, no place to hang closes, and not even a shelf in the shower. There is a terrible sewage stench outside and not restaurants nearby. This is a dive and was way, way over priced! Utterly disappointed.
