• Hiroshi (10/5): - フロントのおっさんすごくいい感じの人でした。 シリコンバレーでこの立地とこの値段はかなり良いでしょう。徒歩でサンタクララ大学散策できるし、スーパーと飲食店も充実。 車に乗ってコストコまですぐで、給油やサンノゼ空港へのアクセスも抜群に良い立地。またNorth Californiaに来ることあったらまた泊まりたい。 強いて言えば、低い枕も準備してほしいなぁ
• Lynn (8/5): It was perfect for what I needed and clean. - It was perfect for my need. Reasonable price for a no frills but clean room. The owner was very respective. Late night partying.

• Cynthia (2/5): I would not stay there again - Location They did not have fire alarm and the floor was very dirty. Found a big ugly spider near the bed
• max (8/5): -
• SGWEST (7/5): It's a cheap motel but in a great location. - Location Location Location. We are here for SCU and the reason we will always stay here or next door is we can leave our car in the hotel parking lot and just walk to the university. Massive Plus. It's all about location and access. The first rooms were given this time were dirty and rough. They had missing grout in the bathrooms, marked up walls that need touch up paint, melted / damaged side table top from 'something'. Only one luggage stand for two people. There was a problem with the lights and the heater not working etc etc. This was all rectified by moving us when we said something but the rooms were then given to someone else... so those folks suffered. I'd stay out of the first couple rooms closest to the office... they are in need of love, renovation and attention that they don't seem to be getting. Warning - There are no fans in the bathrooms. So steam from the shower fills the space and there is no way to vent it or the smell if your spouse uses the toilet. Yes, there is a window you can open but in the middle of winter now your choosing stink, steam or cold. Bathroom lights - the bathroom lights (shower and toilet) are tied to the same switch that turns on the lights at the sink area (in view of the bed). So if your spouse needs to use the toilet or shower and your still in bed sleeping the lights in the sink will be turned on and light up the whole bedroom. Wonderful at 2am. The owner wanders to parking lot most days for hours. It's a little creepy. Sorta feels like you're always being watched. It's certainly not relaxing. If he was doing something it would not be creepy... but he's not... he's just wandering and watching. He's harmless and not a bad guy... but now you know who it is thats our there insuring your car does not drip oil on the cement.
• enrique (10/5): Excelente - Muy cómodo No pude quedarme más
• sophia (9/5): -
• Jacob (10/5): -
• Cheryl (10/5): -
• Joel (10/5): I come to the Palo Alto area once a year for work. I always stay at the Sterling Inn. While the rooms are simple… perhap - Always clean, always comfortable. The staff is always very friendly. You get a lot for the price. Also, some places to eat across the street. Well, personally, I love the place… a lot. The accommodations are very simple and may not be fancy enough for some, but it is clean and comfortable a great value.
• Adam (8/5): -
• Sean (8/5): Overall experience was good. - The gentleman at the front desk was super nice and helpful. No coffee was offered although there is coffee shop across the street. You can hear the running water in bath room and people talking from room above or next door.

• YE (9/5): -
• Tobias (10/5): Einfache, saubere, gut gelegene Unterkunft die jedoch sehr ringhörig ist. - Sehr zentral gelegen mit Verpflegungsmöglichkeiten in der Nähe. Personal war sehr freundlich. Check-in und check-out war einfach und das Zimmer war sauber. Das Zimmer war sehr ringhörig und hell in der Nacht (man sollte einen tiefen Schlaf haben, damit man sich nicht stört).
• Catherine (5/5): Viel heel erg tegen. - 6 minuten rijden naar luchthaven De douche. Walk in douche echter tegels verkeerd gelegd dus water loopt niet af. Binnen enkele minuten staat badkamer blank. Geen koffievoorziening op kamer. Kleine kamers. Belachelijk grote koelkast en magnetron maar geen kopjes, instant koffie e.d. Luidruchtig als andere gasten op parkeerplaats blijven kletsen
• Jose Luis (8/5): Everything was perfect because it was right pretty much in the heart is in Santa Clara and it was close to everything th - It was quiet and he was in the right location for me There is no exhaust fan in the bathroom.

• Donna (10/5): - The owner was incredibly friendly and helpful.
• Rea (10/5): Great stay overall! - It was conveniently located to the event we were attending. The walls are a bit too thin. We could hear the people next door.
• Javier (9/5): Good value and secure place to stay in the area. Def recommend - The owner, was very nice and flexible. Listened to my requests and was patient when I checked out late.
• Evgeny (8/5): - Location Bed linen
• Traveller_132345 (10/5): - Great location, wonderful staff, super clean.
• Amy (8/5): We had a great stay and could tell that the owners really took pride in their establishment. - The staff were friendly and attentive. The location was walkable to the train station, college campus, and Pay Pal Park. The grounds were well maintained. The shower was great with plenty of hot water. I didn't see any water stations for filling up our bottles and would have enjoyed a coffee maker. Also, we would have liked a box of Kleenex to be provided.
• Sam (10/5): A lovely week in Santa Clara. - Exactly what was expected. Relatively bare-bones, but this is what I was looking for. The family that runs the place is so nice, and the room and premises are kept very clean. It's not fancy, so if you want that, it isn't for you.
• Walker (9/5): - Nice little hotel. Clean. Close to places to eat.
• Carol (8/5): - Renovations and cleanliness. Cheap bed
• Destiny (10/5): Room nicely upgraded, very clean property with great location near the airport. Would stay again. - Close to the airport, plentiful parking and nice clean and comfortable room with friendly staff. Check in and out was very easy. Floors were creaky and we were worried that we were bothering any guests staying downstairs
• Yannick (10/5): -
• 孜硯 (10/5): -
• Julie (9/5): You get what you pay for. In this case, it was much better than I expected. - The manager and staff were great. For an older, two story motel, it was nicely restored. it was very close to my granddaughter‘s dorm at SCU. There was no coffee machine in the room or tissue and the soap was not a good quality.
• Mary (7/5): Simple but comfortable stay - The location was great, right on a main road w/ many restaurants/ shops nearby. There was always parking available. The bed and pillows were comfy. The heater/ A/C worked well. There was good water pressure and the hot water was plentiful. The Filipino manager and his staff were very friendly. There is no ice machine but the manager had already prepared bags of ice for the guests :) They don't offer "Do Not Disturb" signs to notify housekeeping if you don't want your room cleaned. The sink is set too far back and so you end up wetting the bathroom counter a lot. The shower head seemed quite old and many of the holes were clogged up w/ calcium. (Housekeeping should inspect it while cleaning).
• Evita24K (10/5): -
• Mary (9/5): Convenient and clean. - It is a clean motel. No nonsense.
• sharon (10/5): Our room was spacious, clean and serene....Great location for the airport/ plenty of dining options. - The Inn was easy to reach, and parking was convenient. The owner was a pleasant gentleman and happy to offer suggestions upon request for dining, etc. My only suggestion is to add a comfortable club chair, though I understand there are good reasons not to.
• Andria (10/5): Great simple room with everything you need. The owner was super welcoming and generous… even gifted me an apple from one - Great place to stay and the owner/manager is the best! Room was clean, updated, welcoming. Great location to the airport. The owner was super welcoming and generous… even gifted me an apple from one of his organic fruit trees he has on the property! Will definitely remember this place again next time I fly out of San Jose! Highly recommend! Nothing. Great simple room with everything you need. The owner was super welcoming and generous… even gifted me an apple from one of his organic fruit trees he has on the property! Highly recommend!
• Simon (10/5): -
• Ricky (8/5): I would definitely stay here again. - Very spacious, clean room. Large bathroom with a nice large shower. The room has nice, updated furniture. Staff was very nice and accommodating. Great location. Shower head should be replaced.
• LEA TOOMEY (9/5): SALAMAT....we will come again. :) - Great friendly customer service, very clean rooms, and centrally located. Also, across the street from Voyager Coffee and a couple of places to eat. It was very quiet at night too. Nothing, I like everything about the place.
• Hope (10/5): Perfect location for an overnight stay if you’re attending an event at SAP Center. - Ed in the office remembered me from our last stay. Clean, comfortable, and the 22 route bus stop was across the street so we took it to SAP Center for the game. Domino’s Pizza and coffee shop across the street.
• Kerstin (10/5): -
• Nathaniel (8/5): - location near airport and great value no coffee in the room
• Traveller_132345 (10/5): -
• Rasmus Morten (7/5): - Very friendly staff No real door for the bathroom, only a slide door.
• Arkadiusz (8/5): -
• Drini (10/5): - Very friendly staff, and the room is likely the nicest motel room I've stayed in. Walking distance to a bus stop, Santa Clara university, and a Safeway for groceries. And many restaurants nearby as well. Very convenient!

• ED (8/5): - Bed was very firm and not good for a side sleeper. Sore Hips.
• Ricardo (10/5): - Rooms were clean and modern. Great area and reasonable price
• LETICIA / ARNOLD (5/5): -
• Steven (10/5): - I have stayed here a couple of times now and I really like it. The rooms have been newly redone. They are simple, in the best way, and very clean. The family that owns the motel is friendly and very helpful. The rates are very reasonable and it’s walking distance from Santa Clara University, which makes it the perfect place to stay when I go to visit my son. Highly recommend.
• Mario Muchutti (8/5): -
• Cody (2/5): - I paid for a room but they never booked it officially . Hotels.com records show that they checked me out @ 12:09 then nine hours later came to my room and kicked me out, at 10 o’clock at night!!!!! He also charged my card for deposit and upon arrival demanded $200 cash or he wasn’t going to check me in. After respectfully leaving, He refused to refund me for the night , and it being so late im now scrambling to find a new room, down $120, and completely dissatisfied. I have video and physical records of everything and will be filing a civil lawsuit on Monday. DO NOT STAY AT THIS MOTEL IS SCAMMING PEOPLE!!!
• Hector (10/5): - Definitely, going to go back.
• Markus (10/5): - Sehr freundlicher Besitzer, saubere Zimmer,
• Santiago (10/5): -
• Katherin (6/5): - Our room was very clean. Staff were very polite. Sadly, the floor made loud creaky sounds in multiple spots.
