The Flamingo Motel

If you are in the mood for an old school Motel experience, this is the place. I was initially attracted to the retro design and architecture of the building. Neon, slightly gaudy colors, and a cool sign intrigued me. The room doors are Flamingo pink and accented with blue neon. A huge plus for me was that this was clearly a locally owned, non-chain operation, and after reading the reviews I decided to give it a try. There seemed to be just enough parking, a bit tight but doable for sure. The front desk staff was helpful, not overly friendly, but efficient. I didn’t expect the most modern and up to date interior, and I wasn’t disappointed. Everything is dated, but as I said, I expected that. The room was clean, well made up, and stocked with coffee, soap, shampoo, and even an iron and

Positive: Cleanliness is all I really expect from a motel like this, but the flamingo went far above my expectations in many other areas. Great location, convenient parking, friendly, and efficient staff.You definitely get your moneys worth and then some ! Negative: ""

It was a perfect location to access stores, restaurants, freeways and such. Good bookstore nearby. Also friendly staff that cares, room was big with two beds and bathrooms were spacious. We also appreciated the refrigerator although it lacked a freezer, had a microwave,dryer close parking and although close to the street was relatively quiet on the front side enjoyable stay.

This hotel offers bang for the buck. We stayed there to be close to SAP arena as its only a 15 minute walk away and they offer free parking. Plus they are within driving distance of other sites you may want to see. Carmel is an hour away, San Francisco is an hour away in the opposite direction. The hotel is clean and in a decent neighborhood. If I had go back to San Jose - I'd stay there again.

100/10!!! Customer service is phenomenal, rooms are spacious and exceptionally clean. Definitely NOT what you think of when you think of “motel.” We will never sty anywhere else when we come to San Jose Sharks game. Easy walk to great food, bars, and the SAP Center. You won’t regret staying here.
