Key is not electronic or digital. Its a physical key and lock, Had issues with mine, I had a late check in and took me 5 mins just to get in ,

Parking space is very congested and not a lot of Car Spaces.

When checking out close to check out time) counter was closed, I could not talk to anyone, so just left my key in the room and left.

This was a nice hotel with a great atmosphere near downtown Los Gatos. The air conditioning worked very well, as it was in the high 90 degrees F when I visited. The room was spacious, too. The only minor quibble is that breakfast begins at 9 AM instead of a bit earlier. In spite of this, I would not mind staying here again.

I liked everything about this little one story hotel in Los Gatos. Perfectly located on Main Street, I was close to everything. The room was spacious and I had booked a room with a full kitchen, which was clean and set up with everything I needed. A separate little space had a desk and dining table. I love to hike and there is a trailhead just a couple minute walk away that can connect you to miles of beautiful hiking. Traveling alone, I felt very safe in this gated property with an outdoor area with tables and chairs under a shaded roof surrounded by plants and flowers. Parking is free behind the property.

I was expecting quaint boutique but it’s more quaint rundown. The room was very clean but the property definitely needs some work. The staff was nice but they tend to close the front office early. I got there 20 minutes before it was supposed to close but it was locked up. No text had been sent yet where to get my key so it was a little nerve racking but when I called the contact number they answered right away. Again, very clean and comfortable but lots of little fixes needed including the room door. Looked liked it had been broken into at some point. The locks were solid though. Great location, I was able to walk to most things. Parking lot is tight quarters but I didn’t have trouble getting a spot. Staff was very friendly the few times I interacted with them.

We stayed here because they allow animals. Our dog id a service animal, however they still charged us the pet fee. The check-in process is confusing. Seems like no staff are available outside of business hours. The room was extremely small, outdated and dirty. The bathroom was moldy and disgusting. We stayed for 2 nights and did not shower because the shower was so gross. The bed was uncomfortable. 100% would never stay here again. Motel 8 is a safer bet.

Parking spaces were a little narrow, but they have overflow parking access nearby. The outdoor patio is very nice and garden like. Homey, modest cottage-like rooms, not for guests who like hotel style rooms. There was a mini continental breakfast available in the office. Great location next to a popular breakfast restaurant the purple onion. The rooms are in need of updating, the enamel in the bathtub showed some wear as did the flooring.

There was never a staff on site the whole time I was there the website says check in till 10. They called me at 8:40 telling me that nope I only had till nine to get there after that I’d have to get the key from the lock box.. the rooms are very tiny, but were pretty clean, did not like that The shower and toilet were all in the same area. It was just a big bathroom with the toilet a sink and a shower with no doors no walls no nothing just open. There were lots of places to walk to around there so that was really nice and convenient.Parkside restaurant and Los Gatos roasting coffee were really good.

It is an older property and currently some of the rooms were being renovated. I wish we had been notified and given the opportunity to select other rooms . The work going on in the rooms next to ours was noisy, and started early. I'm not sure if the room we were assigned to had been renovated yet, but the grouting in the (nice large shower) was dingy looking and shower slippers were a must. Also the toilet was unusually low to the groung requireing deep knee bend to use. The bed was too large for the room, making it so that there was a nightstand only on 1 side of the King size bed. Perhaps changing the bed out for a queen matress in that room makes more sense The addition of another mirror outside of the bathroom also would have been helpful. The room was nicely appointed with a coffee /tea machine, a small microwave,refrigerator, and real plates cutlery,and plenty of drinking vessels . Parking was adequate for our midsize car but I noticed larger cars struggled finding space. Staff were pleasant, and welcoming.

We have stayed here and had good service and pleasant rooms in the past. This time was a complete disappointment. The room seemed to be under construction. They seemed to be changing the bathroom to ADA compliance. The huge, doorless shower was joined by a low toilet jammed into a tight corner. Combination towel rack/grab bars were hung at awkward heights. The bedroom’s overhead room fan was not working. The room darkening drape was torn at the top corner and did not close out the light from outside. One of the four bulbs in the overhead light was out. The venetian blind in the bathroom window would not lower after opening the window.

The bed was comfortable, the linen was clean but we were very disappointed in the room. It was not a last minute reservation. We have visited yearly in the past.

The room was kind of clean but there was at least a half inch space between the bottom of the door and the threshold the wind. The dust blew right underneath the door. I tried to get out of staying another night but they said that since we had paid for 2 days as a package deal that could leave if I wanted but they wouldn't give me any money back. There was spider webs and dust bunnies all over the ceiling. There was no soap in the bathroom. We called the front desk they said come pick up a bar of soap. They're doing upgrades and people are working on rims. Very close by where we were so it was very noisy. Dusty dirty.

The front desk does not stay open as long as they say. Their recording says they are open until 10, but--despite calling and leaving a message about what time we would arrive--the front desk was dark and locked when we arrived at 8:45 pm. We sat on the sidewalk wondering what to do before deciding to call the \"emergency\" number. Then the person on the phone directed us to the lock box via the phone and helped us get in the room. It would have been nice to recieve a message about procedure ahead of time to avoid the stresss involved with tired travelers not able to access a room after dark. Not a pleasent experience.

Bottles of ice cold water in the fridge was another thoughtful touch. Staff could've been nicer (smiles go a long way). Would definitely stay here again.

I didn’t even ask for my money back because whoever owns and operates this place def doesn’t care about the people staying there.

Darling old classic property and room with character. Many amenities in the room, full kitchen, provided refrigerated filtered water and bag of ice, soaps etc, and office nook off the bed area - lots of functionality and support.
Excellent location!! Allows pets! Easy messaging and communication with the property.
Would've given 4.5 instead because the security gates don't actually close well and the next door neighbours arriving and situating was pretty loud, not a lot of sound insulation, the driveway to enter and park is narrow and dead end requiring a 4 point turn around to get out, and my specific room wall air system would not shut off the fan (even Off) and stayed colder than I chose. But minor complaints! Room, bath, office and kitchen were wonderful. Location is *stellar*. I'd stay there again!!!

Inexpensive, very safe location with pretty grounds. I have been a guest at this motel since childhood (1960s) when it was Molly's Paradise, owned by Mr & Mrs Jasmann. The pool was later filled in and is now a courtyard.

My room was one of the less expensive rooms near the courtyard (#121) and is in need of at least some renovation. Noticeably, the drapes were in need of cleaning. The room was otherwise clean and adequate, and had a mini fridge and Keurig.

Parking was easy though I'd imagine a large vehicle may be cramped. The desk clerk was friendly and personable.

I do appreciate the retro style as opposed to antiseptic chain hotels, and Garden Inn still retains its charm.

Parking area very safe and has cameras. Room was so quaint and tasteful. It felt like a bedroom from the early 1900's. Historic and so well preserved.The walls are thin, cause it's an older building, but the bed and amenities were outstanding. Bathroom very \"newish\", nothing lacking at all. Maid staff did a great job. Angel was very helpful the second day I was there. Thanks Angel! Unfortunately the front desk person that checked me in had a condescending horrible attitude. It felt like my questions were bothersome. I didn't like that. It doesn't cost anything to be cordial and decent to people. Everyone and everything else was exemplary. Definitely recommend this little gem and I like it better than The Toll House or the Los Gatos Hotel. Much less stodgy and not Silicon Valley uppity at all. It was a great trip to come and see family. Everything centrally located, all I needed was in walking distance. Thank you!
