Good hotel
Good hotel in good location in Los Gatos. Older Spanish style hotel that’s a little worn but comfortable. Would be a great hotel with some work.

The Los Gatos Garden Inn is our go-to place when staying in the area. It's quite charming, comfortable and meets our needs quite well. The location is great, as is the free parking on-site.

I booked a patio room. It was small but very comfortable and very quiet, which I love. The patio is beautiful and quite peaceful. I had my coffee there both mornings. I highly recommend The Purple Onion for coffee and a quick bite. Wonderful b breakfast sandwiches, good vibes, outdoor seating and great for people watching. I would start here again.

AVOID ADJOINING ROOMS
Do Not stay in a room with a door to an adjoining room. It sounds like the people in the next room are talking right outside your door.
