I left my review. Before you check in, think about this... 1 They ask you to pay for parking 2 They ask you to pay for room cleaning ($95 for cleaning) 3 They ask you to pay for laundry 4 No breakfast included 5 Towels are paid ($25) - it's easier to just buy towels in a store and throw them away than to rent them from the hotel When you leave the room, you have to clean everything yourself. Otherwise, they won't return your deposit. read more

Nesuto Studios Inn - Roach in room - Apartments Near Me - San Jose, California

Very clean INN to stay at long term. Studio room with kitchen amenities on the first floor was near the lobby, parking garage, and gym + wash room on the 2nd floor. Staff was accommodating and pleasant. Seamless booking direct or via third party sites. Great location in the middle of many shopping centers and eateries. read more

I've stayed at Studios Inn twice for work-related reasons and it was nothing but a fantastic experience. The rooms are fully-functional, making it easy to feel like a home away from home. The staff are extremely friendly, without exception, and the entire place is super-clean. The laundry rooms were remarkably clean at all times and you are directly across from the huge Valley Fair mall and down the street from Santana Row - all within short walking distance. If you need temporary lodging without sacrificing the comforts of home, I recommend Studios Inn. read more

I found this location on Expedia. Was looking for a quick and convenient location, in close proximity to the airport and my job for a week's stay. I've been to San Jose many times and frequent Westfield Valley Mall (which is walking distance across the street) and never saw this location. It is literally walking distance to one of the best malls, Santana Rowe, and a lot of shopping places, stores, etc. It's about ten minutes from the airport (SJC) and close to the freeway to go to Santa Cruz, San Francisco or wherever else. I booked a studio room, which was small but all I needed for one person. There was a decent sized refrigerator/freezer, two pot stovetop, microwave, coffee pot, toaster, iron/board, and sink in the kitchen are. You have lots of space for clothing etc. You have access to gated parking for an additional fee (which I think is a bit pricey $10/day). There is no street parking in front of the hotel without risking your vehicle being towed. You can park for a max of 30 minutes to check in but if you drive here, you will have to pay for parking. The lot is small and located behind the hotel. It is in a gated area however it could be a bit sketchy entering the back doors with your key. The smoking area is outside only and random guests are sometimes at the back door entrances to smoke. The room was clean (not to my standards but if you're a woman you know how we are). My only negative would be the upholstered chairs to the table had an odor to them. They need to be replaced. I sat briefly to eat my meal and I could smell them. I hate when there's anything dirty in my room especially if it stinks. The room could have used a good wipe down with disinfectant wipes if some sort and the curtains, blanket in the closet, and chairs were not fresh. It was rainy and cold when I checked in so the front desk clerk was super nice and accommodating. She allowed me to check in four hours early without having to pay additional. I was grateful for this. After a long flight all I wanted to do was rest. This is a place I would stay again. I would also recommend for a short term stay for work travel or just leisure. Just don't expect an immaculate suite that is very clean. You have to do the work to make it your own like most extended stays. Pros: convenient location, functional for a work stay, gated parking lot, cooking amenities/pots/utensils provided, long term stays accepted, staff showed great hospitality. Cons: Small, old smelly carpet/chairs, tidy but not "clean" and sanitized, uncomfortable bed, daily parking fee, thin walls if you need complete silence during sleep/ you could hear other guests/doors opening/conversations/shower running, bring ear plugs, very small tv...hard to connect firestick/roku/etc d/t location. read more

This is in response to the Business Managers reply to my review. The night managers said he had already glued the blinds once. So, they had been broken before my stay. The shower needed a liner to go with the fabric curtain. The stains on the mattress are the color of pee. The handicapped parking spaces are not accessible with a dumpster in the space. The room smelled of sewer or mold. There are others who have posted the same experience with the awful sewer/ mold smell. I would NEVER post a review that was not truthful. I am attaching 4 photos that where taken at the time of my stay. read more

This place is great. Wonderful hospitality! Definitely worth it I was between places and needed somewhere to stay quick and easily and I like my privacy and this place was everything I needed. read more

run run run away from this hovel.. its supposed to be non smoking, but i found people smoking in the lobby , hallways and doorways all the time.. when management was approched they called me a liar...yeah right, my ashma just kicked in all by itself. another neighbor ended up in the ER with coughing up blood. The rooms are so tiny, its so noisy. i would rate this place lower than motel 6. The sign outside says luxery studios... Yeah..look at the back parking lot and you will see graffiti all over the place.. what a joke.!!!! read more

I stayed at the Studios Inn for 2 months and couldn't have been happier. To start it's located across the street from an amazing mall (Valley Fair) that has all the shops and restaurants you could want. If you're not satisfied with that just around the corner is the popular Santana Row strip - this place is outstanding, great food and bars, café's, bookstore and just a great place to walk around. It's close to a couple of the main highways (880 & 280), and close to a couple major expressways - basically you can get around anywhere in the bay area easily. The actually building is great - very clean and well-kept, probably built only a few years ago, the space has everything you need: fridge, coffee maker, microwave, WIFI, etc. The staff is awesome, very hospitable and helpful. Price, compared to the other places my company found this was the best deal on top of it all - it was a no-brainer. I give the Studios Inn and its staff my highest-recommendation! read more

I lived here for about 3 months during the summer of 2007, and I can honestly say, I'd move back in for a short stint again without batting an eye. First and foremost, the location is absolutely fantastic. I unknowingly chose this complex for my temporary residence, and only after a week or so did I truly realize how fortunate I was in living here. First off, its close to the 880 and 280 going either way on both; getting on the 280 towards Cupertino is even a pleasure by taking Monroe to Tisch Way straight onto the freeway (while avoiding the glob of lights/traffic that is Stevens Creek Blvd to get to Winchester. The upscale shopping area of Santana Row and the familiarity of the normal mall that is Valley Fair are just to the west and north, respectively. There's even a little back way you can walk right into Santana Row by going just a bit more west down Hemlock Ave. All in all, the location is top-notch for San Jose in my book with plenty of activities/shopping/food nearby. The actual place itself was very nice -- it definitely is still reminiscent of the hotel it undoubtedly once was, but they have literally upgraded everything about it. The decor in the lobby/halls is nice and calming, the grounds (which aren't much really) are nice and well-taken-care-of, and the parking lot is always clean with at least a few spaces almost always available. The gated parking was nice as well (though there is also plenty of on-street parking if you don't want to pay the $30 or so extra per month). The keys you get when you sign-up for a short-term lease here are interesting and decidedly high-tech, and it took me a couple days to get used to using them. One thing I can say -- DO NOT FORGET YOUR KEY when leaving. I made the mistake twice (I never learn) of going out to the car really quick to get something and forgetting my key. Make a note: you cannot get back into the side/back entrances to the building without the key, though the front door is always unlocked during business hours. At any rate, the amenities are nice (washer/dryer room, larger community kitchen with a stove, HUGE public rooms with big-screen TVs on floors 1 and 3, and a tiny but still adequate "gym" on the second floor. The room was tiny at 250 sq ft for a studio, but you get used to it if you are alone and doing a long-term stay on business. I happened to stay at the TownPlace Suites just down the street for a weekend with visitors, and the place seemed like a mansion. The rooms are decorated with a light-theme (white walls, carpet and linens with light wood for cabinetry). The kitchenette has granite counters, a generous sink, a 3/4 scale refrigerator, microwave, 2-burner flat-surface range (very nice), and plenty of storage. They give you once place-setting (utensils, plate, bowl, small plate, glass, and a coffee mug), and you can ask for other items such as a pan and flapper for cooking, a vacuum when you need it, and other things. The three people who worked the front desk when I was there were so nice and helpful -- just ask! The bathroom is a similar affair: granite counter-top, tiled floor, shower/tub combo with a removable/adjustable shower head and a sliding door. They also give you towels when you move in, along with bed linens, pillows, and an extra blanket. The bed itself is comfy enough, it was a full-size so its big enough for most people. The TV/DVD flat screen is big enough, and you get a bit more than basic cable, which is nice. The "closet" is nice and right in front of the bed, next to the makeshift computer desk. Note: this is where the internet Cat-5 cable is located if you pay for the internet service. I kind of wanted wireless, but the cable is big enough, and lets face it -- the place it small, so you can still carry the laptop around nearly the ENTIRE apartment. Overall, I liked this place and would move back for a short 3-month stay again. The only downsides were the room was sometimes small, and the price is definitely hefty ($1,750 per mo w/o parking or internet), but it is silicon valley and they do short-term leases. Its a bit less expensive than staying at an Extended Stay America or some-such place, plus after a while, it didn't quite seem like a "hotel" at all. I recommend! read more

I lived here for three months during an internship at Adobe (late 2012). From my experience, you cannot find a better location in San Jose: Santana Row is two blocks away, you're within walking distance to a very nice mall + groceries, and downtown SJ is only a few miles East (close enough to ride my bike into work each day). I stayed in the studio apartment (as opposed to the suite), which was perfect for one person. Utensils and cookware are provided, as well as a refrigerator and stove, and there was more closet/cabinet space than I could use. Management were very friendly, and I never had any noise or smoking issues as some other reviews have mentioned. (Honestly, if noise were an issue, I think simply talking to your neighbor(s) would solve it -- most everyone who stays at Studios is there for work related purposes.) I'm used to midwest leasing prices, so the price was higher than I expected, but I'm fairly confident that you can't find a short-term lease with as much up-side (furnished, great location, utilities included) as Studios without paying a great deal more. If I'm ever back in the area short term, I wouldn't hesitate to book an apartment there again. read more

Visited a friend staying here for a few months..cool place if your a traveling professional with a short term assignment here in San Jose. Right by Valley Fair shopping center which is a great place to "live" by short term. The place is OK....they clearly upgraded over the past few years and it won't be cheap but hey!!! Most Who stay have companies that pay so who cares about price point right! Interior decent with coziness,secure and therefore safe and close to freeways and anything else in Silicon Valley! read more

Great Job, people are super nice, clean and very close to Santana Row. If you need a flexible housing option do look at Studios Inn. Barry read more

Still here. Can't tell if the smell is mildew or something else. Oh and someone decided to forget their food in the community kitchen yesterday. Oven = done. Ha read more

Love this place!! I stayed here for 2 months and the staff made me feel right at home. I count them as friends now :) You can't beat the location, nor the QUIET. I seriously rarely even saw others, even though they were fairly booked up. I wouldn't hesitate in the least to recommend this to anyone. Home away from home! read more

Stayed here for two months, paid for on my own not through corporate housing. Clean room, clean sheets, clean bathroom. Comfortable room with a hotel feel. Very friendly management, showed me everything when I arrived and greeted me every morning when I left for work, making sure that my accomodations were good. I'm surprised at the other reviews from this year, I had no issue with smell, no issue with noise, no issue with cleanliness, and I found the mattress quite comfortable. The place is right across from Valley Fair Mall, close to I-280, and a 4 minute walk door-to-door to Santana Row which has surprisingly good nightlife for the area. For temporary housing the location is really good. I strongly recommend this over Extended Stay America. read more

Love this Place! Close to freeways to get to my meetings and airport for picking up clients... I stay here twice a year now. I love that it is family owned which you can see and feel the pride of ownership. Place is very nice in and out. I pay attention to detail since I am in marketing & design. The meeting spaces are great for me and having a gym on remise is a plus! I walk to Santana Row (restaurants, cafes, shopping, people watching...) and have lunches and dinners there plus window shop :) ... Its a great escape from work since it is such a nice area, actually feels like I am on a vacation. Great place! Keep up the great service and comfort you offer! Thank you read more

Recently I stayed at Studios Inn. We were having some work done on our apartment needed a place to stay for a 3 weeks while the work was completed (You gotta have a shower!). We found the property to be clean and the staff friendly, overall, but we choose to stay there because we needed a kitchenette if we didn't want to have to eat every meal out until the work was done. It was definitely possible to cook there, which is good, and there were no children when we stayed which was an added bonus. I think this might be because most of the other guests seemed to be professionals on extended travel. I personally appreciated the quiet. They had a break room on the first floor where I was able to get coffee. Also, the location near Santana Row was very convenient. I would recommend Studios Inn. The owner Mahassa was kind enough to introduce herself to us and gave us some tips on where to eat nearby when we went out. There's ample street parking and a lot. read more

Enjoy staying at Studios Inn. I have a few conferences that are located near downtown san jose so this is a great place for me to get settled in to. I enjoy the surounding area which has a lot to offer with restaurants, shops and coffee shops. The property has meeting space and also secure parking... plus close to downtown, airport and highways. Very clean and well maintained with great service. I always get my packages delivered there since its easier than lugging them. Glad I found this place years ago. I highly recomment staying here as I have mentioned before. read more

Me and my sister stayed here for past month and we found it really lovely. The place is clean and although it is always full but you never hear any noise.The neighborhood is very nice and you can walk to westfield shopping center or Santanarow which is really interesting. The other great thing is the staff which they were great and very friendly and helpful .  Thanks Farnaz and ali for all of your support and kindness during this time and we are definatly looking forward to go back... read more

I just stayed there for two months. I would stay there again. Obviously you can not beat the location. Yes the rooms are very small and quality of furniture is low. It is true you can hear your neighbors and people in the hall but during my entire stay I never had an issue because people are aware of that and are respectful. The price is right any lower and it would most likely attract some people that may not be as considerate. I did not expect too much out of this place so it delivered what I expected, if I would have went in with high hopes I may have been disappointed. But again I was satisfied with my stay. read more

Nesuto Studios Inn - A whole wall full of storage and counter space - Apartments Near Me - San Jose, California

I've spent 5 great weeks in the Studio. First day everything okay, all rooms cleaned, restroom cleaned. Kind and available staff 24/7. Just can't understand people arguing about windows view: it's San José, you're not in Paris. Plus, I have seen something like 30 amazing sunsets from the main balcony, day by day. The bed was comfortable. About smoking: yes, you'll find people smoking (not many), but only in proper smoking areas. For the position, for the cost, Studios Inn is a great solution if you wanna feel quite like home for long periods in SJ. I would stay there if SJ calls me back in the future. Recommended place. read more

This place is horrible. I can't believe it got any good reviews. I would never stay here again and I would never recommend it to a friend. If you can at all afford it stay somewhere else. There is no soundproofing between rooms so be prepared for hearing everything your neighbors do. I mean EVERYTHING. Don't be fooled by the photos like I was. This place had a super cheap update and you'll realize that when you get here. I can't warn you enough but I will say that it's barely a step above a hostel. read more

Convenient location. Very clean. Updated rooms in the last couple years. My husband and I enjoyed staying there. Fay was extremely pleasant and helpful. We will definitely return and recommend this place. read more

Update: This place just keeps getting better! And since Santana row is so close and the mall is just across the street, it makes the location great. I moved up to San Jose from LA to take a new job and I needed a place to stay for that transition period. After doing some research, Studios Inn was the logical choice because it looked much better than the rest of the executive suites I had looked at and it's across the street from Valley Fair and Santana Row! Apart from the proximity to world class shopping and restaurants, Studios Inn is super clean, modern, has a great kitchen, free premium cable, including HBO and free internet access. Every other place I looked into, I had to pay extra for that. There's a small gym, a communal kitchen too and two lounge areas as well as washer/dryer in building. The parking is gated so I feel completely safe and secure parking my car. The staff is helpful and the place just feels right. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it here for anyone. Far above the others in terms of quality, location and atmosphere. read more

I moved to Studios Inn after my cottage burned down in October. Not the happiest of circumstances but I can't speak highly enough of this wonderful place. The entire staff was so kind and compassionate and helpful while I got back on my feet. Like Tony K., I felt like I was on vacation . . location is ideal . . walk to Santana Row, Safeway, Valley Fair, etc. There is a park within walking distance too. . . Lucy and Ali . .. I hope I will be back. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. read more

This place is amazing and the location is the best in the area. I had the fortune of staying her for 3 months while relocating for work and I have to say I didn't want to leave! The staff (Luci and Ali) are so accommodating and I really enjoyed getting to know them. The rooms are compact but they have everything you need, perfectly designed with European flair. Each room has a kitchenette, digital cable with free HBO, flat screen TVs and comes with everything you need. If there was anything extra I needed the staff was happy to provide it at no extra charge. The whole building has free WiFi, you just have to pay the monthly internet charge of $35. I have to say, the best thing about this place is the location. I loved being able to walk everywhere! The neighborhood is residential so it's nice and quiet, but you can walk to Santana Row which is great. There's also a Safeway grocery store and a CVS pharmacy 2 blocks away so I had everything I needed nearby! The commute location is perfect since all the major freeway entrances are practically next door. I worked downtown San Jose so I just took the back streets and avoided the freeways which reduced my commute. San Jose airport is only 3 exits away so that made my trips home easier too. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone that needs temporary housing. The staff, the rooms, the amazing location can't be beat! Heather read more

My husband is commuting from out of state and has stayed here for about twelve months. The location is ideal: close to freeways, Stevens Creek Blvd, Winchester Ave and walking distance to the world famous Santana Row. I am really surprised at the negative reviews. It's a great place to sleep and shower and has a nicely appointed kitchenette with full size fridge and microwave and two burner cooktop. One review stated that it was missing a shower curtain. There are no curtains, but glass doors. Everything including the welcoming lobby is clean and well maintained. It's too small to call home, but it's location and affordability make it a great place to stay when you are away. read more

JD. I needed temporary housing for 3 months August to November 2012 while I was remodeling my home. Studios Inn was an excellent choice. It is located within walking distance of Santana Row and Valley Fair shopping/restaurants, movie theatres and major freeways. The staff, Ali and Luci, were very pleasant and helpful. The studio is clean and not noisy. There are good amenities, a small gym, sitting room with a big screen, laundry facilities, secured parking with no graffiti. If you are sensitive to smoke, ask for a studio away from the ends of the building. Smokers do smoke on a small balcony right outside the end of each floor. The price was very competitive for all you receive. read more

I stayed at Studios inn several months ago for nearly 2 months. I needed a furnished place to stay close to the main highways. This place is very clean and the rooms are newly renovated. The staff and owners are very nice and helpful. After one month I really felt there at home. The place was extremely quiet and there were all the necessities I needed. If I lacked something (cutlery, more blankets...) all I had to do is ask and they supplied it immediately. I would recommend this place for a long term long stay in the bay area. read more

I stayed at Studios Inn from April to end of July ( 4 months ) in 2012. The staff ( Luci and Ali ) are very nice The apartment is clean and a non smoking environment Nicely located next to Santana Row. I would go to there every Saturday morning to get my starbuck and sit outside and soak the sun, read the paper or go through my emails.... There is also a Safeway near by I can go walk and get my groceries The westfield valley fair mall is located across on Stevens Creek Blvd I found the parking and the area safe. I had no incidents No fire alarms in the middle of the night :-) Suggestion: Put Wifi in the room..... (They have internet in the room [cable] ) Cheers, /Denis read more

This is a terrible place!!!!! Do not stay here! I was put up her through a company I am Consulting for. The website played a big part in this farce. There was a mold/old smeel in my room. The carpet was dirty, and frayed. The mattress was the worst I have ever slept on in my life. Hair in the shower and the refrigerator. Just take my word stay away from here. I checked out after one night!!! I'm am now at a real hotel.......... read more

I had a wonderful three weeks stay at the Studio Inn while spending time with my children and newborn grandson. I love the location and its easy access to 280, 17, and 85 which goes to mountain view, Cupertino, and surrounding cities. The mall, supermarket, CVS, and Santana Row mall are within walking distance In addition of many restaurants. Most importantly, the staffs provided wonderful service and many tips for out-of-state guests. Thanks to Faye, Ali, and another weekend staff for giving me a memorable stay at Studio Inn. By the way, we also shared Faye's delicious California pastry with friends that got all thumb up. read more

Studios Inn was a great place for me while relocating to the Bay Area. Location was superb and walking distance to many fantastic restaurants at Santana Row. The staff was great and always making sure everything was perfect. The building was spotless and was being cleaned on a daily basis. I was there for 10 months and I would do it again. read more

The location is great, however it is way over priced for the tiny units. They are small like a jail cell. My family from out of town stayed there and were not impressed. The managment is not the friendliest, they seem more concerned with getting their money, not the accomodations. The security is not very good either, some drunk tenants had the run of the place and made it uncomfortable at night. read more

I stayed for 10 weeks at Studios Inn. The location was incredible, just steps away from Sentana Row, Westfield shopping center and major highways. Secure parking. The staff were incredibily friendly, always a smile on their faces. There was always someone on hand to help me out, I really can't say enough good things about them. The studio was very clean, simple but you have all you need. The laundry room was spotless. All in all it was a perfect spot for me for short term while I was on a course. read more

I lived here 2 months with a relative who was getting medical treatment nearby. This place was a refuge during a stressful time, and the management staff is fantastic. We had a one bedroom studio on the third floor. High ceilings, extra-tall Windows and the place is flooded with light. The place is about twice as big as a one-bedroom suite in an executive hotel, and that makes a huge difference. The couch was easy for me to sleep on while my relative loved having the bedroom with the nice clean mattress and very soft sheets. Having groceries, pharmacy, restaurants and high-end shopping all with a 15-minute walk made life so much easier. There are nice little touches everywhere, such as a handheld showerhead and little lights where you want some extra brightness, and laundry facilities on two floors. What really sets the place apart is the staff. Things go wrong at any place, but this staff always seemed to respond within minutes and things were just taken care of. Very accommodating and flexible people. read more
