Check in and check out done via online format. Inconvenient that nobody is at the front desk. Toiletries were not provided besides toilet paper. Weird smell in the room, and sheets looked like they were not washed properly.

GREAT GEM HIDDEN IN SANTA CLARA

I love how clean the rooms are and go easy on the smell. Air our rooms if possible while cleaning. I am amazed that you have electric charging stations that makes your hotel more in tune with consumers. Never seen a charging station at ANY hotel or fancy hotels either. LOVE LOVE the water and coffee pods. Thank you! Another great service. Keep it up.

Great quiet room #203. Nice spacious 2 queen beds. The bathroom sink is outside the bathroom. Two bottles of water and coffee maker provide. Lots of restaurants near by. Starbucks, Paris baguette, and a Nosh bagels right across the street.

Not the fanciest rooms, but very clean and comfortable. Very satisfied with my stay (1night). Perfect for my needs: reasonable price, comfortable room and convenient location. Staff was very friendly and helpful! This was my second stay at Wafer 450 hotel. This is now my go to hotel when visiting in Santa Clara.

One of the cleanest feeling budget hotels I have been too. Overall the decor has a modern feel, though you can tell a few corners have been cut. The after hours front desk experience was very interesting: they have a machine that can handle check-in and check-out while a person on zoom talks to you and scans your ID/credit card. It takes a bit longer, but I didn't mind too much.
