The hotel is right next to the Santa Clara University campus and there are a lot of great restaurants nearby. Safeway is one block away. Though it is at a bigger intersection, you cannot hear any street noise. The owners are great and very welcoming. We had a very pleasant stay and would definitely go back again.
