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.
