The hotel is clean and conveniently located to San Jose State University. It is under the flight plan to San Jose airport so the airport noise is loud and the traffic on the street is also loud.

The price is good. BUT this has to be one of the most poorly managed hotel I have ever stayed at. I stayed here last year, and they were doing renovations and my room had no clothes hanger. We searched 2-3 rooms and none had clothes hangers. This year, again no clothes hangers in my first room. So they did not fix the problem in 12 months. Other people in my party had flooding in the shower (drain did not work), only one working electrical socket. The people running the place are nice, but they are not organized enough to make notes of the problems in each room and fix them.

Check out is at 11 and the property manager didn’t allow to stay after 11:30, deactivated the keys. Inspite of asking the previous day manager this happened. Especially with checkin at 3 pm this happened. The lady is so rude and pushed us out.

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DO NOT STAY AT THIS PLACE!!! I arrived late at almost midnight after a day of flying and had to use an outside window with all my luggage standing out in the dark facing the street. The night manager woman had a nasty tone and told me “no pets” even though she could clearly see me as a single woman standing alone with my things, then looked me up and down and said “no visitors” like I was a prostitute. When I got to my room, it had a terrible odor. First red flag. Both of the top comforters were visibly soiled and between the two beds, only 1/4 pillows was somewhat clean. I was so tired from traveling and knew no one in San Jose nor had any other place to go in the middle of the night, that I just laid on top of my coat after treating it with tea tree oil. Around 130am, I was startled awake by a man yelling loudly outside my door, in what sounded like a drug and/or mental breakdown episode, and I could hear two other men trying to calm him down. This lasted an hour. I was too afraid to do anything, as the bolt was missing from the security latch (I had placed my two heavy luggage up against it for some security) and the windows did not close, so I didn’t want them to hear me on the phone. In the morning light I saw just how disgusting the room really was. It was “remodeled” meaning some of the walls were painted, some of were not and warped and covered in grime. The floors were also visibly dirty. The day manager dismissed everything.

1st as deposit. I was ask for cash. 2nd bedding had holes 3rd tv did not work 4th looks like the bedroom was on process of remodeling. 5th there was hair everywhere (not clean) I’m sorry but we have stay in different hotels where it was kind of our only options but it was completely the opposite. Here in this hotel the pictures that are shown are not what it is.

The hotel has definitely been renovated. Pros: no gross carpet, minimal furniture, quiet, very kind service people, cost. Cons: definitely needed more thorough cleaning (ie, hair in shower drain, stations from coffee spills on the walls and baseboards, finger prints on the door jambs). It was fine but not 8 out of 10 like so many are saying.
