Cute little inn

Staying a couple nights for a concert. Great hidden little gem. Very old , but kept clean and family run! The family was sincere and helpful. It was quiet at night and the location was perfect! Historical area in San Jose and Santa Clara!

This property is across the street from Santa Clara University, which allows one to walk to the campus for events like graduation. The rates are less expensive than other surrounding properties. The owner is very nice and accommodating.

I’d rate Sterling Inn slightly above average for the price. However, some improvements are needed. My 2nd floor unit was squeaky around the bath and sink area, shower glass partition was leaking after shower, and sink backed up after washing my face even on low flow. I understand family owned running a business is challenging. Nothing I mentioned is unlikely new to the owner. They will probably get to fixing them eventually but it is what it is.

Very strong odor in the room, as if is time for a fresh coat of paint and new carpet.

The hotel is right next to the Santa Clara University campus and there are a lot of great restaurants nearby. Safeway is one block away. Though it is at a bigger intersection, you cannot hear any street noise. The owners are great and very welcoming. We had a very pleasant stay and would definitely go back again.
