The room was clean, and the staff was very courteous and helpful. I wish I had known that housekeeping was only offered if requested. Also, it would’ve been nice to have a hook on the bathroom door or somewhere in the room to hang up my robe. But for the price, it was very reasonable and sufficient.

Good room in a great location for a great price

Great location and clean and spacious room. TV in one room did not work-was not sure if it was simply meant to be a monitor for a computer or mobile device. Bathroom small-but worked for one person

Cute room! Very soft sheets and good pillows. It’s also a safe area and the street behind has restaurants and shops.

Best Bed Award

By far the most comfortable and luxurious bed of any property in its price range I have ever stayed at. The king sized mattress, half dozen pillows, and comforter were all generous and soft.

David Shaw, 1-night trip

It was fine for an older motel, better than a motel 6. The location in San Carlos is surrounded by silicon valley so you got Menlo Park is a few minutes away Palo Alto isn't far San Jose and it's really cute Little Saigon district is lots far at all. I had pho in Little Saigon and then headed to the motel and got a good night's sleep. The shower was by good temperature and water pressure and for the money it was great value. The level of service by the family of managers was just great. I arrived a little late, perhaps a little after 11:00, and they weren't cranky.

Room was clean but furniture old and simple. Walls are thin and you could hear voices in the rooms next to you.

Great location. Clean. This isn’t a fancy hotel (gym, cafe, etc), but it checks all the boxes for a nice clean safe place at a reasonable price.

I made reservations and paid whole amount . When I arrived the manager of hotel said that they don’t have any available rooms. This was terrible time for me. Because I have never had the same experience. I hope the hotel. come will return my money back.
