It is in a fantastic location and is less than a block away from good restaurants (but keep in mind the pricing for all of the restaurants is way overpriced). The staff there was very nice and friendly and everything was kept very clean. There is parking behind the hotel, which is nice because there is NO PARKING in downtown Los Gatos. The hotel is indeed near a trailhead, but the trail follows along highway 17--which is super loud--and the trail was pretty crowded for what it was.
