Clean , updated but walls are thin
This is actually a great place to stay if you need to be close to Los Gatos Area. Surprisingly, it was a renovated Bets Western , and everything in the room looked clean and fairly new. The carpet needed some work though.
Water Pressure was just O.K.
Breakfast was included and basic: Eggs, Susgage, potato and + typical continental breakfast.
Finding Parking early evenings could be a mess due to the fancy Restaurant (Restaurant ASA) next to it ; which I highly recommend it.
There is also Los Gatos Lodge across from the street. It is much bigger property with same price, but the rooms are super old and in much needed of some tender care and upgrade.
My biggest complains:
1) they are very restrict on CheckIN and Check out Time and they will charge you for early checkin and late check out. So , make sure you double check with the front office
2) the Fridge in the room makes noise. Make sure to turn it off.
3) There were some weird noise which sounded like some wood were shaking and hitting each other from time to time. It can be annoying if you are a light sleeper, But the noise issue could also have been due to the location of my room
4) Walls are thin, I could definitely hear the next door or the person above me Snoring all night…

Not too bad.
My stay was for the overall most part good. The gentleman and the woman at the front desk were very friendly. However I’m not sure why house keeping kept knocking on my door at 8:45 am and again at 9am. Then they kept ringing the phone once. I was trying to sleep. I called the front desk and the lady was super nice she wasn’t sure why they were knocking early because I paid for late check out. She said she’d let know. I was a little worried about how clean my room was because there was a box of used condoms sitting on the bathroom counter that grossed me out lol. Other than that all was good. I’d come back and I love the location.

Affordable Comfort in Los Gatos
Affordable Comfort nestled in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains. This location should be the flagship of Best Western! A friendly team welcomes guests in an aesthetically-pleasing lobby, in addition to courteous guests & personable/professional hospitality crew that goes above and beyond the call of duty to further enhance the guest experience of each and every individual that lodges at this amazing establishment! Ample parking that's safe & secure, easy access from Hwy 17 - and minutes from either the beach or mountains, in addition to the metropolitan San José region! You simply cannot miss out on choosing this location for your accommodations! Rooms were immaculately clean and spacious, with amenities that are essential - in addition to a complimentary hot breakfast that will wake you up & get energized for the day! What's not to love about all of this at a fraction of a cost?! Highly recommended!

Hidden gem
Hidden gem of hotel. It is older but remodeled. The room was cozy clean and bed was comfortable. Good water pressure in shower. Breakfast was great, really impressive. Chorizo and scrambled eggs was quite unexpected. Service was excellent. Next time I’m in town I will stay again.

Shower door in 118 needs alignment. Toilet seat needs replacing due to very loud opening and closing. Coffee maker does not work.
