Old school independent roadside motel
Old roadside motel that's been kept up to date in the rooms without ruining the kitschy charm of the exterior. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Location was outstanding to SAP Center and breakfast. Service was exactly right.

A great place to stay!
The Flamingo hotel has good parking, and our room was very clean. Even the bedspreads seemed freshly washed. Walking distance to many eateries and coffee shops. No complaints. The owners were exceptional.

I've stayed at the Flamingo many times on visits to San Jose. This is a hidden gem. The Flamingo is a clean, safe, and no frills motel with a staff who cares for your comfort while offering affordable lodging in an expensive area. The Flamingo motel is an excellent value fat an affordable price.

The front office were wonderful. Very responsive and helpful to any questions or concerns. I can't say enough.
The location has three great coffee houses directly across the street, two of them nationally known. All are within walking distance.

Will Stay Here Again
The family that owns the hotel is incredibly kind and responsive. The hotel is older but well kept, very clean, quiet, and extremely convenient. We walked almost everywhere and felt safe in the neighborhood.
