I was looking for an inexpensive hotel near Santana Row for a weekend shopping trip with my sister. We stayed 1 night in a room with double beds for $99 (plus tax) on a Saturday and we both liked it. The hotel is right off of 280/Saratoga exit in a non-descript area and approximately 5 minutes by car from Santana Row.
The exterior of the hotel does resemble a Days Inn but the room we stayed in was tastefully decorated in modern decor. There was an in-room DVD player. We didn't use the pool but it looked nice and had some cabanas around the area.
There is a Tony Roma and Appleby's right next door and across the street a small strip mall with a Japanese bookstore, Japanese grocery store, and liquor store, ice cream parlor, etc.
I think this place is a great deal for the price and convenience, but it isn't as fancy as the hotel's official website might want you to believe (as a "boutique" hotel), so I would not recommend this hotel if you want a romantic or luxurious experience.
