It was such a beautiful and heartwarming experience — from the welcoming atmosphere to the kindness of the employees. The place was spotless, truly one of the cleanest stays I’ve ever experienced. Out of all my years of traveling, this has been the most comfortable stay of my life. The bed was unbelievably cozy — the blankets, sheets, and pillows felt absolutely heavenly. The room was thoughtfully set up with everything you could need — coffee, water, a microwave, refrigerator, and a flat-screen TV. The layout was so well-designed that it felt more like being at home or in a cozy apartment than in a hotel. The shower was refreshing, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and even the lighting added to the warm, peaceful vibe. Everything was super clean, smelled amazing, and created a sense of calm. What made it even better was how convenient the location was just off the freeway, close to restaurants, and walking distance to nearby stores. I honestly didn’t expect it to be this clean, comfortable, and well-prepared. It was truly a beautiful stay in every way.

Couldn't check in at check in time. Floor was warped. Bed damn near on the ground and uncomfortable. Not a lot of space. T.V didn't work for a while. Never going here again.

I liked the white and blue color scheme in the room. The white paint at the corner of the bathroom needs a touch-up, yet otherwise everything was well-done. The receptionist in the office, Lucky, was very kind and informative. I had to leave my key in the room, since the front office was closed, when I had left early at 5:30 a.m. on October 14th to catch an early morning flight at the San Jose International Airport to go home in New Jersey. Thank you for your services.
