Axel's take: 6.6/10
Useful budget basics, but inconsistent housekeeping and maintenance make this a cautious pick. a no-frills 2-star motel in Milpitas, scored for what it is.
This no-frills 2-star motel in Milpitas is a workable budget stop, not a polished airport hotel. Restaurants and shops are walkable, parking is free, and rooms have microwaves and refrigerators. Expedia's recent guests frequently praise clean rooms and helpful staff, while Booking.com scores comfort and value reasonably well. We'd consider it for a short, practical stay with a car.
The catch is consistency. Booking.com reviews reproduced by Planet of Hotels include repeated 2026 complaints about dirty rooms, missing towels or toiletries, and malfunctioning equipment; several guests also report cockroaches. Those reports temper the stronger overall ratings. Breakfast is light rather than a substantial meal, and Expedia lists the outdoor pool as seasonal, July through September. We'd skip it if dependable housekeeping matters more than savings, and check the damage-deposit terms before booking.
