Hampton Inn & Suites Marina
10/10 Excellent
"New hotel, very clean. Great hot breakfast, good sized room and good mattress."
Marea Sol Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Great location & loved chatting with Dennis in the lobby as we came & went! "
Rio Sands Vacation Rentals
10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic place. Doesn’t really look that great at first glance . The location is perfect and the room we had was a fresh remodel. Took a short ride to Manual’s Mexican restaurant. Highly recommend going there if you stay here. A few restaurants walking distance, but worth the trip to Manual’s. Pool and hot tub were clean and in the sun ( we were there in November) . Beach is a block away and so is Pixi deli ( great for breakfast and Verve coffee) "
La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Morgan Hill-San Jose South
10/10 Excellent
"We travel to Morgan Hill every year during the holidays. For the past 10 years we have stayed at La Quinta. The location is convenient, just off 101. The property is well maintained and very inviting. The staff are friendly and polite. Check-in is a breeze. The rooms are clean with modern amenities to include a very comfortable bed, large flat screen TV and beautiful bathroom. The showers have easy moving barn-style rolling doors with thick, sturdy glass. They have large walk-in showers, with great shower heads. The free breakfast is a cut above anything you will receive at an equivalent hotel. Best of all, their rooms rates are affordable."
