Top Santa Clara Hotel Reviews

Signature Inn Santa Clara

10/10 Excellent

"Well let me start by saying that I am bougie. So bougie that I refuse to stay at a motel. I was not prepared. This property is more well maintained than most hotels I have stayed at. Talk about not judging a book by its cover. The room is very large. Plenty of space. Nobody stepping over luggage or each other. The only drawback we could find is there is no closet to put the luggage in. But it didn’t bother us. Plenty of room. Everything updated nicely. Syad was very kind and accommodating and he had to deal with my bougie butt. If you want nice accommodations with no frills (no breakfast or pool) and on a budget, then this is the spot. Coffee across the street was fine. Super close to Santa Clara campus (literally across the street). Safeway market down the street. If my child chooses to go to SCU this is definitely where we will be staying on future trips. My only suggestion is to put some tables and chairs on your balcony. My husband would have hung out there instead of the coffee shop while all the girls were getting dressed. A1 service. Better than expected. Gets a full 10 from me."
