Best Western has always been great. I've never had one complaint. The small fridge and microwave was perfect. The coffee maker with pods is an extra step up that most hotels in the same price range dont have.

This is my go to hotel when working in Santa Clara! Everything is wonderful at this hotel. The location is perfect, the staff is so nice and kind. Clearly the best staff I have encountered at a hotel by far. The price per night is exceptionally fair. The breakfast is fabulous. Good quality hot and cold food. The rooms are clean, updated, comfortable and roomy. The grounds were pleasant and the parking was great. They don't charge for parking which is an added plus. I highly recommend this hotel!
