    There was hair on the shower walls and on the towels. Bathroom smells moldy, visible dry rot around shower and on ceiling. In the morning we found small roaches in the shower and sink. Loud children in the hallway outside our room until about 10pm.

    Staff was friendly

    Some drama front desk and other extended stayers, cops called and onsite as this traveler approached the entrance, not a good sign. Cops always indicative of ghetto behavior, either them or the people they're dealing with. Prior to checkout, excessive hallway (loud voices) noise of other travelers moving about and advertising their movements; ghetto behavior? Yes.

    Excellent North San Jose location and proximity to airport, light rail, and bus lines. Easy check in, clean rooms with kitchenettes for 'extended' stays.

    I get that hotels are reducing cleaning services and amenities to deal with post-COVID staffing shortages, but this place seemed to take it a bit far. Completely empty cabinets. No coffee maker, no glasses or plates or anything in a place that bills itself as "extended stay". This was okay for the one night I stayed, but would have been a problem if I'd been there longer than that. Staff seemed harried and overworked.

    Clean, comfortable and right near where I needed to be for my meetings the next day.

    Controller in our room is broken. Stains throughout the room. At some point I started smelling a weird smell. The air conditioning in the bathroom did not work. On our way to our room the carpet hallways were so weirdly stained and I smell that I could not fathom.

    However this is the second time that I have encountered roaches in the room and I probably won't go back it's horrible to go to a hotel room and then have roaches around you when you pay $180 for a room or whatnot

    I appreciate the fact that it is close to the freeways as well as the staff is really nice and accommodating
