The hotel is praised for its friendly and personable staff, particularly the manager named Ed. The location is also a highlight, being close to the airport and Santa Clara University. However, cleanliness seems to be inconsistent across rooms, with some guests reporting dust and hair. The rooms are generally described as updated and clean, but some guests have issues with the comfort of the beds and pillows.

    Very clean room and property overall. The area is nice, there’s a Safeway grocery store about a 10-15 minute walk from the property and plenty of restaurants and coffee shops across the street. Lots of parking for guests and overall peaceful. If you get a downstairs room you can hear the people above moving around, so if you’re a light sleeper I suggest getting a 2nd floor room. Fridge and microwave were a nice bonus. Owner is very nice.

    It had ample parking and the location has food and services across the street. Santa Clara University is also just a few steps away. The room was clean and everything was tidy. It was a hot couple of days and the AC kept me cool. The shower door did not stay close, the floor on that bathroom was not level.

    Super nice management at check in and check out. The room was really clean and renovated. The shower worked well and was modern looking. The room had a mini fridge and microwave. We knew in advance there was no coffee maker, thus we brought our own mugs and instant coffee. There about 6 eating places across the street, plus a Safeway store, within a 5 min walk. A bus stops right in front of the door. We would definitely recommend this inn.

    Ed, the owner, is always there. He is nice, but he did annoy me when he kept bringing up oil leaking out of my car. My car is a 2010 and actually, the oil he complained is just wear and tear from an older car. But, he was on my case every day, which I did not like. He complained that I was messing up his parking lot. He needs to understand there is something called "cost of doing business" and again, my oil leak is "normal" for the age of my car. With that said, the room was nice. The bathroom and shower worked great. Unfortunately, due to being hassled about my "oil problem", I won't stay there again.

    Location Location Location. We are here for SCU and the reason we will always stay here or next door is we can leave our car in the hotel parking lot and just walk to the university. Massive Plus. It's all about location and access. The first rooms were given this time were dirty and rough. They had missing grout in the bathrooms, marked up walls that need touch up paint, melted / damaged side table top from 'something'. Only one luggage stand for two people. There was a problem with the lights and the heater not working etc etc. This was all rectified by moving us when we said something but the rooms were then given to someone else... so those folks suffered. I'd stay out of the first couple rooms closest to the office... they are in need of love, renovation and attention that they don't seem to be getting. Warning - There are no fans in the bathrooms. So steam from the shower fills the space and there is no way to vent it or the smell if your spouse uses the toilet. Yes, there is a window you can open but in the middle of winter now your choosing stink, steam or cold. Bathroom lights - the bathroom lights (shower and toilet) are tied to the same switch that turns on the lights at the sink area (in view of the bed). So if your spouse needs to use the toilet or shower and your still in bed sleeping the lights in the sink will be turned on and light up the whole bedroom. Wonderful at 2am. The owner wanders to parking lot most days for hours. It's a little creepy. Sorta feels like you're always being watched. It's certainly not relaxing. If he was doing something it would not be creepy... but he's not... he's just wandering and watching. He's harmless and not a bad guy... but now you know who it is thats our there insuring your car does not drip oil on the cement.

    Always clean, always comfortable. The staff is always very friendly. You get a lot for the price. Also, some places to eat across the street. Well, personally, I love the place… a lot. The accommodations are very simple and may not be fancy enough for some, but it is clean and comfortable a great value.

    The Sterling Inn was not what I expected. It was OK, and for the most part clean and safe, which is the most important thing (except for the hair in the sink, but that was no big deal). The front desk clerk was friendly and I got my room right away, but with all the great reviews I suppose I expected better. I would not stay here again. Overall the place reminded me of a cheap motel.... While fairly clean, the bed and pillows were clearly far older than they should be, the towels were old and flimsy and needing to be replaced, the fixtures were loose and broken, the walls were painted over drywall cracks, the AC/Heater unit worked but was old, the sink clogged up, the shower door was loose and in danger of falling off, and the floors were sticky. I gave it 3 stars because, in spite of this review, it wasn't misleading. The pictures are fairly accurate, and everything else in the area was 3-4x the cost. If I could have planned it better or had a bigger budget or a longer stay I would have stayed somewhere else. I surely will next time. It's fine.

    I got a very good rate which was lower than usual and an accessible bathroom. Bathroom set up was wonderful but there were ants on the floor. Otherwise the room was very clean/nice. Could never get the TV to work. An odd thing was that instead of a mini refrigerator there is a wine cooler -- and this is not Napa Valley. I felt safe and it was quiet. The front desk person told me several times that I was not allowed to have visitors -- which I felt was over the top since I'm in my 70s and use a walker. Just wanted a place to rest my head, not to have a party. They also tried to kick me out at 10am when the checkout time was 11.

He also charged my card for deposit and upon arrival demanded $200 cash or he wasn’t going to check me in. After respectfully leaving, He refused to refund me for the night , and it being so late im now scrambling to find a new room, down $120, and completely dissatisfied. I have video and physical records of everything and will be filing a civil lawsuit on Monday. DO NOT STAY AT THIS MOTEL IS SCAMMING PEOPLE!!!

    I think the place in general and its location are just great. For the price as well compared to other places it's pretty good too well worth it. Although I do suggest that they manage their housekeeping staff better as they were pubic hairs and a used bar of soap left in the tub which everything else seem like it was clean just inside the tub it seems like they did not clean it. Other than that everything else was pretty okay better than what you'd expect for the price and the floors are very squeaky

    My only negative is the sound from the room above. Fortunately, they didn't stay up long because the sounds of people walking around was noisier than I would have liked. However, I would still stay there again if I were in the area.

    I have stayed at this location both alone and with my family when traveling for work. The location is safe and the hotel its self is clean and comfortable. The customer service is the reason I continue to return. The owner is kind, considerate and very welcoming.

    Nice place. Good location. Plenty of parking. Friendly host at the front desk. Remodeled room, but the floor squeaks. Mini soap and shampoo, we’re ok, but not worth writing about. Quiet even though it’s next to a busy street.

    The owner of the property is nice, very kind, friendly, and personable. He is great with kids. A year ago, he gave a bag of M&Ms to my 4 year old nephew for free. When I come to San Jose, this is my go to spot because of the owner.
