• Close to shopping and downtown.
• Room was not clean!

“I have stayed here a couple of times before visiting my daughter at SJSU - this particular time we arrived at 1:30 am - hard to get in when we rang the entrance bell - gave me a
smoking room (did
not request) too tired and too late to make a fuss (my bad) and the room had cigarette burns in the curtains, bathtub and looked like one was put out in soap dish! I was dissapointed this trip because we had had a much better experience the two times prior.”

• The room was clean and spacious, the bed was very comfortable and clean, the hotel offered breakfast, which was surprisingly good!
• Not the hotels fault, but someone down the hall smoked marijuana 3 out the 4 nights we were there. Not a lovely fragrance!

“The hotel was conveniently located to the university. It's clean, which was appreciated. Breakfast is offered every morning (surprisingly good). The staff knows the surrounding area and we found Starbucks and other restaurants with ease. We will definitely use this hotel again!”

• Right next to the HP arena.
• Very long walk to the room.

“Quite adequate. Nothing extraordinary, but very clean and pleasant. If I go to another hockey game I'll certainly book here again.”

• In room jacuzzi, Free dinner, free breakfast, close to arena.

“Very close to HP Arena, this hotel had comfortable beds and was very clean. The free dinner (warming tray burgers and dogs) held us over until after the game. The breakfast was great, with biscuits and gravy, sausage, and eggs.”

• Close to HP Pavillion for hockey game.
• Rooms show heavy wear.

“It's an OK place to stay with a buddy if you're going to a hockey game, but I would not put my family there. Definitely not for a romantic getaway.”

• Location.
• Run down room and no room service.

“Overall, this hotel was good for what we needed. Which was a place to stay after our concert. The window was broken and would not open so I was pretty miserable. I was also disappointed that there is no kind of room service. The hotel is very old and little run down. I did really enjoy the Jacuzzi tubs though. It's a nice location and a quaint little place if you do not have high expectations. I did feel I pad way more than what I got though.”

• Very convenient. We just walked to the HP Pavilion for the concert.
• Just outdated furnishings and the 3rd floor smelled like someone's been smoking in the hallway.

“If you're going to the HP Pavilion for a show, and just want to walk to the area to spare yourself from fighting the parking madness, this is the hotel for you.”

• Convenient to HP Pavilion and offered complimentary dinner & breakfast.
• Could use a little upgrading.

“Went to a concert at HP Pavilion. Saved money because we took advantage of the complementary dinner & breakfast and could walk to the concert so no parking fee. The food was OK. Room was clean and had a refrigerator. Was perfect for what we needed it for. Would definitely come again if attending another concert. Good value!”

• This hotel was in walking distance of the hp Arena.
• The walls are thin enough to hear the people in the next room very clearly.

“We were very pleased with the look of this hotel. It was within walking distance of the hp Arena. Very clean, lots of lobby area to meet with other people. Unfortunately, the people in the room next door stayed up all night talking. If you have hip problems the tub may be difficult to get into and out of. It has very high edges.”

• Its location to the HP Pavilion.
• The Jacuzzi tubs are way too high for seniors to get into.

“The location was very convenient. I like the hotel because it is an older remodeled hotel with only three floors. It is very nicely deco-rated and very comfortable.”

• The lobby area was very pleasing to the sight.
• They were running short on washcloths.

“Overall, I thought this hotel was very good. The lobby was decorated nice and the buffet breakfast was good. It could have used a few more nutritious choices, like whole-grain bread, oatmeal, etc. We didn't get a chance to try out the complimentary light dinner. The only complaint I have is that they were running short on washcloths, so we had to improvise with hand towels.”

• Cute courtyard, beautiful lobby, and comfortable beds.
• Decor was a little out-dated, and breakfast was okay.

“This hotel was a great place to stay. They had the most comfortable beds I have ever slept on in a hotel. It was located on a quiet street even though it was downtown. The courtyard outside was beautiful as was the lobby. Free parking was a big plus too! I would definitely stay there again!”

• Great value and proximity to hp pavilion.
• Room air conditioner went out, ceiling fan noisy and wobbly.

“Very good value. Room was clean and comfortable. Close proximity to the hp pavilion makes it an ideal place to stay if you¿re attending an event at the pavilion.”

“Hotel is close to Pavilion, which is super convenient, but the walk between the hotel and the Pavilion goes by some abandoned buildings and can be sketchy to walk alone at night.”

“The arena is priced below value. It is much nicer than any other hotel I¿ve stayed at for a comparable price.”

• Loved the Jacuzzi in the room. Great breakfast choices.
• No swimming pool.

“I was very happy staying at this hotel. They have a curfew of 10:00 pm (quiet time) and also the front lobby was closed unless you have a room key. I felt very safe and had a nice quiet sleep. The idea of having breakfast & dinner included in this price and at the hotel very much appealed to me. I felt I got a good price for the room, dinner was good (but should be explained that it is like a home cooked meal) not to expect a fancy dining quality meal. Breakfast was better you got allot of choices, buffet style. I was very happy with both meals, and didn't have to leave the premises. It was well worth the price of the room. As an overnight stay I really enjoyed my stay and would stay at another arena hotel if the chance comes up again.”
