The Spotlight on Sterling Inn

Affordable Comfort Just Minutes from Santa Clara's Music Scene

Modern and straightforward, the Sterling Inn offers a clean, no-fuss stay in Santa Clara. Located just 4.3 miles from Levi's Stadium and close to California's Great America, this hotel is a solid base for concert-goers looking for convenience without splurging. With free WiFi, flat-screen TVs, and air-conditioned rooms, it’s got all the essentials. Plus, the 24-hour front desk makes late arrivals or post-show check-ins a breeze.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the quick drive to Levi's Stadium and other nearby venues. The hotel’s location near Mineta San Jose International Airport—just 1.2 miles away—makes it a top pick for out-of-town show-goers. The quiet neighborhood provides a peaceful space to decompress after a loud night, and the 12:00 PM checkout means you can sleep in after a late encore.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a simple, affordable stay near the action
  • Solo travelers flying in to catch their dream artist
  • Couples making a weekend of a big show
  • Fans seeking quiet after a night of music and crowds
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want comfort without the price tag

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel itself doesn't have an on-site restaurant, it’s in a walkable area with plenty of local eateries nearby. Guests mention several late-night spots within a short drive. If you’re looking for a post-show snack or early breakfast, you won’t have to go far.

Nightlife Options

The Sterling Inn is close to downtown San Jose and Santa Clara’s bar scene, offering everything from craft beer lounges to lively clubs. While the hotel itself is laid-back and quiet, it’s a short ride to local nightlife hotspots.

What People Say

Reviews highlight the cleanliness of the rooms, friendly front desk staff, and excellent location near the airport and stadium. Guests also appreciate the fast WiFi and value for money. It’s a favorite among travelers looking for a basic but comfortable overnight stay.

Areas for Improvement

The Sterling Inn is light on frills—there’s no on-site restaurant or gym, and decor is more functional than fancy. Some guests noted rooms can feel a bit dated, but most agree it’s clean and well-kept.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to a show at Levi’s Stadium or nearby and want a clean, affordable, and convenient place to crash, Sterling Inn hits the right notes.

Inexpensive and good location but...

Liked: Good location
Disliked: Noise of the refrigerator. Every 30 minutes it would sound like a train was going by the room. The room need refurbishing. There are places in the shower that look stained or rusted.

Reasonable price and valued inn.

Liked: This is my third time staying here. It's always lovely. The staff, especially the manager, is excellent. The manager's grandson is also a helpful assistant.
Disliked: Nothing special. Of course, the facility itself appears somewhat dated. However, I remembered that the shower had been renovated and was now nicer.
