Too Loud!
We were woken at least 15 times from street noise, people outside, laundry services noise. In addition, the bed was way too firm. It felt like I was sleeping on the floor.

Walking distance to Santa Clara University. Many restaurants across the street to walk to including Starbucks and Safeway is just about a block down the road. Easy access to the freeway and the San Jose airport. Shopping mall and Santana Row is just a short drive away.

This is the second time my husband and I have stayed at the Sterling Inn. It is very close to the airport and you can't beat the price. The hotel is very clean and has plenty of free parking. The owner is so nice, and he remembered us when we came in for our second visit. This is definitely our go-to hotel when flying in and out of San Jose.

2/10 Poor

A mouse in our room. Owner questioned whether we brought it in our own suitcases. There was a small hole chewed thru the corner of the front door which we blocked with our laundry bag but the mouse was already inside. Chewing all night and it scurried across the floor in the morning. We left immediately. Customer service terrible. Do not stay here
