This is a family owned business. The room is super spacious compared to other chain hotels I stayed in the area before. Very walkable neighborhood with many dining options. Santa Clara University is across the street. Really a good location for campus visit or stay in the area in general.

It was convenient but there were some kind of flying bugs. The floors were sinking and there was 3/4 inch gap at the first door so anything could crawl in.

Cute little inn

Staying a couple nights for a concert. Great hidden little gem. Very old , but kept clean and family run! The family was sincere and helpful. It was quiet at night and the location was perfect! Historical area in San Jose and Santa Clara!
