Bradley
It was a decent for a cheap motel. It was a little loud. I could hear lots of conversations, sometimes hostile, from outside and through the walls. The place was clean enough, but it’s an old and kind of depressing place. I tried to check in a couple hours early but they weren’t having it. Overall it’s fine, and ice seen way worse.
Royce
Friendly staff, neat and clean room, great location for me
Michael
Very awesome place. Clean rooms. Friendly staff. Good food and coffee close by!
Azucena
Happily surprised!! Great place to stay if attending a concert at SAP stadium!!
Milner
Esta bien
Rajeev
Good stay
Rahil
Decent place for the price and of course I suppose you are in the middle of the city so easy access to local attractions. The staff was friendly and helpful. Place is a bit old so likely in need of some renovation soon. Still worth it overall.
Tory
The flamingo is a solid, reliable place to stay. It's not fancy, but it is always a quality stay.
Daniel
Comfortable, non-fancy motel that's a 10 minute walk from the San Jose Diridon train station. Nice staff / owners. Fair number of eating options. The closest are right across the street. If you have dire need of a USB port, there are none in the rooms as far as I could see (although that wasn't important to me). All in all, my 3 night stay was fine. I'd stay there again.
Laurie
The room and bathroom were very clean and the bed comfortable. The microwave and refrigerator were a nice touch, and, of course, the coffee maker. Parking was easy and available and the staff were very friendly and helpful. This motel is very convenient to the SAP Center and there are numerous cafes and fast food options close by, as well as a Whole Foods store down the street aways.
Anna
Very clean room
Frances
Room was clean and staff was welcoming.
Shayna
We stayed for a Sharks game. Great spot easy walking to SAP center.
Sarah
We were in San Jose for some hockey games at SAP Center. This motel was in a great location to walk to the game. It is close to downtown making travel easy and there were many walkable food and coffee places. The room was clean and in good condition. It has a microwave and fridge, which was all that we needed. This was a great room for the price but if you like all the bells and whistles of big, name brand hotels, you might find this lacking. The price point more than makes up for the difference. This will likely become our go-to place to stay when we visit San Jose in the future.
Richard
The hotel is centralized and easy to get to a few different freeways and walking distance to restaurants, the Shark tank, and CalTrain.
Tony
Clean motel good area
Thomas

Very kind staff. Nice clean room. Excellent location to walk to nearby activities
Jeffrey Shell
A really good, clean, quiet comfortable motel. The staff was responsive. There's good food very close by, especially for breakfast. It was an easy walk from the train station, and an even easier walk to a bus to get to the airport. And very reasonably priced!
Most of all, I slept very comfortably here. Like I was at home.

Stayed for night
Patrick
Unexpected jewel conveniently located down the street from the Shark Tank. Very clean, ? updated recently. Walkable to multiple restaurants, responsive staff. It is not a 5-star motel, but for what it is, the family running it does a great job. Suggestions: replace aerators on faucets, supply larger soap bars, kleenex, and directions for the TV. I could not figure out how to work the Sat TV. Definitely will consider staying there again my next visit to San Jose.
Antonio
I felt that my car was very safe in the parking lot.
Melissa Juarez

Simon
Clean and comfortable, convenient for the SAP Centre but on a noisy junction.
Carol
Perfect for what I needed.
Maricela
I've been booking rooms here for years and have never had any issues.
Loukas
Very responsive and helpful front desk. The exterior of the motel is a little dated, but the interior seems freshly renovated and very clean, room has a nice clean laundry smell when we entered, and it seemed to be generally quiet. A lot of great restaurants were walking distance including breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. A few bodegas were just down the street as well. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!
Jill
Room was fine. Located on busy road but other than that no complaints

Hotel was centrally located to many restaurants was best part. Safe area
Brian
Economical
This is an older economical motel that is decently maintained.
Shawna
Great for a motel. Loved the older feel with newer amenities perfect for walking to the SAP Center
Karen
This property had been recommended to me as a nice place to stay near the San Jose airport. But the room and the bed didn’t meet my standards and I actually got bitten by bedbugs!!!
robert
needed a room a block away from a job. otherwise I would not stay here. good price though.
Verified traveler
It had everything required of a motel and was very satisfied with my stay.

Attentive staff and a nice hotel with little hassle
Ethan
It was a quick place to stay after White water rafting. Needed a spot close to the Winchester house.
Brian
No frills, No problems
Cheap, easy stay. It's a motel.
Gary
Great little motel. Older but upgraded. Plenty of dining options nearby. Walkable neighborhood. Whole Foods a 10 minute walk away.
Hillary
Great location on a street full of vibrant daytime activities. Great restaurants (highly recommend Zona Rosa), coffeehouses, and cute shops. Our room was very clean, well stocked, quiet, and comfortable. The staff, especially the proprietor, was friendly, kind, and accommodating. Hands down the best motor inn/motel I've stayed at in my years of traveling. Don't forget to check out the neon flamingos on the signage in the evening!
Jennifer or Refugio
Nice and clean, bed was comfortable. Staff was very nice, easy check in
Laurie
We like staying here for events we are attending at the SAP Center. There are lots of little cafes and restaurants around the motel, plus there is a Whole Foods market nearby. The staff at the motel are friendly and helpful. Our room was very clean and comfortable, and the amenities were the expected: fridge, microwave, TV, coffee machine, hair dryer, iron, shampoo, lotion. There was plenty of hot water for the shower. Parking is free and easy and we felt our car was secure.
Adiel
A clean convenient rooms, good choice for a budget motel.
wanda

Inexpensive stay in a clean motel with good service from staff.

I love it here. It is on the bus line. Short walk from the lightrail. Great breakfast, lunch, dinner & coffee options within 1 block. The owners, staff here is super friendly! They are very welcoming and easy to work with. Great price, clean room.

Old school independent roadside motel
Old roadside motel that's been kept up to date in the rooms without ruining the kitschy charm of the exterior. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Location was outstanding to SAP Center and breakfast. Service was exactly right.
Michelle
Going to a concert at SAP. The room was reasonably price. We were able to walk to the venue and not pay for parking. The employee at the checkin desk was very nice.

The front office were wonderful. Very responsive and helpful to any questions or concerns. I can't say enough.
The location has three great coffee houses directly across the street, two of them nationally known. All are within walking distance.

A great place to stay!
The Flamingo hotel has good parking, and our room was very clean. Even the bedspreads seemed freshly washed. Walking distance to many eateries and coffee shops. No complaints. The owners were exceptional.

Rebecca
I've stayed at the Flamingo many times on visits to San Jose. This is a hidden gem. The Flamingo is a clean, safe, and no frills motel with a staff who cares for your comfort while offering affordable lodging in an expensive area. The Flamingo motel is an excellent value fat an affordable price.

Comfortable
It looks run down on the outside, not a great neighborhood BUT they have done a nice job with fixing things up inside. It was comfortable, the bedding what very nice a good quality. Comfortable

Really like the ambiance, cleanliness

Great location to the SAP center
Matthew
Great cheap motel!
Erica
I wish the reviews I’d read before booking were more honest. I ended up cancelling 4 hours after arriving at the property, and having to lose the cost of 2 nights just to get out, and scrambling to find another hotel for the night.
The location itself has a funky smell, and is falling apart. Everything from the bedding to the towels is subpar. Initially I thought that was fine, for the low cost, but the icing on the cake was that the toilet didn’t flush.
Staff was friendly trying to fix it but it just didn’t work and they couldn’t move me to any other room with functional plumbing. Their online policy only states one night fee for last minute cancellations (even including cancellation due to their own plumbing issues) but they actually charge for 2 nights- beware.
Also, if you don’t know San Jose, this is an area prone to high cockroach infestations. They’re just there, not much can be done about them. I was really careful to keep my food/belongings sealed up so I didn’t get any hitchhikers.
I come to San Jose a lot for work and will absolutely be avoiding this hotel.
On the positive side, the location is good for walking downtown or to the local restaurants.

Will Stay Here Again
The family that owns the hotel is incredibly kind and responsive. The hotel is older but well kept, very clean, quiet, and extremely convenient. We walked almost everywhere and felt safe in the neighborhood.
Mario
The hotel room is thd best they have and i would like to come back anytime
Daniel
It’s nice a area very clean 👍
Rocio
I was pleasantly surprised. The room was clean, smell fresh and I saw the cleaning crew cleaning the room across from us cleaning the room while moving every piece of furniture. I felt safe in the neighborhood. I even walked from the SAP (which is four blocks away) around midnight back to the hotel. The bathroom was clean and the front desk staff was very nice and kindly allowed me into the room 20 minutes early. I truly enjoyed my one night I spent there.
Deborah
The struggle is real
A solid basic 2 queen room. Very clean. Arrived at 6 pm and the temp was 100 degrees outside. The second floor room did not have the AC on and it took 3 hours to cool to reasonable temp. The shower control was very difficult to figure out and the office was unavailable by phone or directly at 7 am when trying to shower. Price is great but the struggles to be comfortable make it so it will not be my choice in the future.
Christopher
Great for the money if you are on a budget.
Robert
Great place for the price.
A very reasonably-priced motel that actually had a tub! Clean. Parking felt safe. The area of town was both good and bad: outdoor restaurants and fun shops but also some homeless wanderers.
Alexander
There was some initial confusion regarding an early check in that I had called in about, but it was resolved without too much trouble. Rooms were simple, but clean, and overall nothing to really complain about. Definitely good value for the price.
