Clean, friendly, and homing.

It was an owner operated motel. The property was maintained like home, clean and orderly. The hospitality received from the receptionist (owner) made me felt like an old friend. Will go back in my next trip.

The gentleman at the front desk was very kind. The place was clean and a good value for stay. Just one criticism is the mattress was terrible. We couldn’t sleep well. It was really hard.

The owner of the property is nice, very kind, friendly, and personable. He is great with kids. A year ago, he gave a bag of M&Ms to my 4 year old nephew for free. When I come to San Jose, this is my go to spot because of the owner.
