I have staying in this hotel many times over a fifteen year period, in a wide range of rooms, from the simple, room with two double beds to the large suites and pool-side family apartments. The hotel is in reasonably good condition, with fairly standard features in the rooms. The design is uninspiring and there is no real view, apart from the car park, from most of the rooms, although in the distance from outside it is possible to see the mountains. The rooms are more than ample in size, even for the standard rooms and while not excitingly decorated, they are comfortable and have coffee making facilities in the room.

The architecture is not exciting, nor offensive and fits in with the style of this fairly modern area. The staff are generally friendly and helpful. There is one restaurant and a bar which also sell simple bar food. The restaurants does a good buffet breakfast or for significantly more cost it can be cooked to order. In the evening the restaurant is also a pleasant place for a meal. There is an outdoor swimming pool and hot-tub. The bar, which occupies a separate building, just a few tyards away from the main building has the character of an American sports bar, but is quite a good place to have a drink or a fast food style meal.

The restaurants has a good range of food, mostly of a North American style, with a slight mexican influence and a good selection of Californian wines. The ambiance is quite good for an American business hotel, and service is quick and many of the staff speak reasonable English.

The mountains in the distance look inviting, but this hotel is mostly surrounded by roads and business buildings. It is in a good location next to the Montague Expressway, on Barber Lane. It is possible to walk to a small selection of Chinese restaurants just a mile away, on Barber Lane, although the side-walk does run out before you get there, but everything else need to be driven to. Downtown San Jose is just a few miles away, with plenty of bars, restaurants and clubs to keep you entertained. San Francisco can be quite a long drive away, depending on the traffic.
