    The hotel needs a complete renovation!

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    Parking was a mess a nightmare for a truck

  • Engine customer Mar 2026

    I had a very unpleasant experience staying here. The entire property smelled strongly of curry everywhere you went — the hallways, office, and even inside the room. On top of that, the air conditioner looked like it was from the 1970s and barely worked, which made the room uncomfortable. Cleanliness was also a major issue. There was hair throughout the room — on the floors, in the towels, and in several areas that clearly had not been properly cleaned. The room also had a noticeable moldy smell. The customer service experience was equally frustrating. I called the front desk to ask if I could pay for one additional hour before checkout, but the fee they quoted did not match the hotel's own policy. It felt like I was being misled. They also refused to handle it over the phone and insisted I physically come to the desk, which made no sense given the situation. There was no attempt to be accommodating or helpful. Overall, the lack of cleanliness, unpleasant smells, outdated equipment, and poor customer service made this a very disappointing stay. I would not recommend this place

    Also, there was no WiFi

    No parking!

  • Engine customer Aug 2025

    Very small, i paid 275 for 2 nights and i feel like that shouldn’t have been more than 75-85$ a night. Lamp in bathroom has no cover, you can see the wires, not safe & i stayed there with my baby. Limited parking. Indian looking man in the front made my checking in horrible and complicated. Never staying here again.

    Good service

  • Engine customer Mar 2025

    The staff was very helpful.

  • Engine customer Oct 2023

    I reserved their most expensive room at 6pm, arrived at 6:30pm, and left by 7pm. So they did not lose any business over me, and they had 4 other identical rooms vacant, and more cheaper rooms.

  • Engine customer Oct 2023

    Modern amenities. Pleasant decor. Some traffic noise. Friendly manager gave discount due to stay near surgery center (1 block). TV sound did not work and radio could not set time.

  • Engine customer Jan 2022

    Maximum temperature in room was 61 degrees according to my phone battery.

  • Engine customer Nov 2021

    It’s cool mom and pop motel. Can’t beat it for the price

    Really Bad Place! My computer and phone were hacked within 1 hour of me leaving there. DO NOT STAY HERE! I wanted to leave leave the first day, owner said I had to stay 2 nights... ( I payed for 7 nights). Then as I packed my truck and waited for my refund receipt the police showed up. He lied and said I would not leave his property. The police could see I was upstanding citizen and there was no problem. Thank You Mountain View PD!..The wife is just as psycho. Stay Away! Room had a microwave, fridge, ac unit all original from the 70's. The counters clean but the floor was FILTHY! Really bad. I used there towels to mop the floor. Towels were super ruff and dirt stained. Shower curtain stained and dirty... No secondary door lock either and when I woke from the first night my door was unlocked! Do yourself a favor and read the other reviews too... I wish I did!

  • Engine customer Mar 2020

    Pleasant stay, kind of noisy due to the busy street but the staff was friendly. Located next to downtown Mountain View so food options are plentiful.

  • Engine customer Dec 2019

    Not so good- No hooks in the bathroom to hang up clothes.

  • Engine customer May 2019

    The microwave was nasty inside. Furniture was dusty. Way too small for the price. Disappointed.

  • Engine customer Dec 2018

    HORRIBLE.. BED.. SMELL OF THE PLACE.. CUSTOMER SERVICE.. HORRIBLE.. so bad that they wouldn't even call back Hotels.com when I complained.. THE WORST PLACE EVER!!! I'd sleep in my car before staying there again!!!

  • Engine customer Nov 2018

    SMALL SMALL SMALL ROOMS. Shower head at my chest - shower stall only 4 inches wider then me. Could not give a detailed receipt. $350 for a $50 room. Best way to describe it is a spruced up Bates mote.

  • Engine customer Nov 2018

    When I arrived the owner was very rude to me, saying that he only had a room with two beds and would I please ensure that I only used one of them! then the next night, when I had to go and get my room key re-set, his wife tried to make out that I had only paid for one night when I had paid for three. Very expensive for low quality accommodation.
