We stayed at the Hollister Inn while hiking in nearby Pinnacles National Monument. We found the hotel staff very helpful, even to the point of replacing a huge TV set because the closed captions did not work. The refrigerator was just the right size for our two-day stay, except that the previous hotel guest turned it down to C O L D! But we reset the refrigerator controls and didn't really lose any food. The bathtub was nice and long and allowed us to stretch our hike-weary legs in a hot bath after a day of hiking. For Hollister, this is really the most comfortable and clean basic motel.

"Great Experience Overall"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 18, 2013
Had a very nice evening at this hotel. Very nice price if your plans are to be out much and you just need a presentable room to relax and to rest. Clean and has a nice breakfast set up for the guests.
"Works well for a family & economical."
Pros: The room suited our purpose quite nicely. we weren't going to be in the room a lot; we were staying for one night. Three of the four of us found the beds to be quite comfortable (2 seniors, 1 adult, 1 child). The desk clerk was fun & helpful. Denny's was just a short walk. Cons: 1 wash cloth for 4 of us.....we used hand towels instead..didn't […] really feel disadvantaged. Hot water disappeared but we were headed straight home & didn't plan to shower. If showering, we would have needed more towels. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Griminess"
Total feeling of griminess in this hotel. My mistake for picking the cheapest of the lot.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good location, but marginal"
The place is short on up-keep. It will do in a pinch as a place to stay, but it is really marginal. It is shabby. For example, the soda machine was out of order. It looks like it may have been out of order for some time. There were vending machines for snacks, but they were non-functional. The bed spread was worn and had tears and was coming apart. […] There was a lot of mold in the shower area. The room was not dirty, but not clean because everything was very used. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great front desk staff!"
So we spent a night at the hotel across the street to save a few bucks.. Just spend the extra and stay at this super eight, so worth it!! The staff was very kind and spoke English! The rooms were clean too, unlike the one across the street.. Great hotel, we have stayed before and would stay again, hands down.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Gross"
Corn flakes warm milk and bread for breakfast. Toaster wasnt even working. Coffee empty and no one around to make more so I started to make it. Inside of pot was so dirty I decided to go to Starbucks instead. Room filthy. Urine dried on wall next to toilet. Out of shampoo and conditioner. Dirty towels hung back up. Vending machines empty. Shower had […] mold. Sheets had stains and they wouldn't change them saying they aren't dirty just stained. Wi fi patchy. TV had only 4 clear channels. And my car got broken into in the parking lot! Terrible experience. Will never go back. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"last resort"
This hotel is in need of a renovation. Its just run down. We had to switch rooms because of AC not working twice. I can not recommend this hotel for even a pass thru stay over.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Does the Job on a Budget-In Heart of Outlets"
Pros: Gilroy outlets. Lots of eating choices. Easy on/off highway 101. Room clean & window actually opened for fresh air. King room was good sized. Large fridge. There 4 nights and given a corner room with less neighbors which was appreciated. Maid service very good. Cute vanity looked new. AC/Heat worked great and you had the option of just a fan. […] Cons: Hotel staff lackadaisical. Hairdryer in room had a black substance of some sort all over, possibly from a repair. Should have been cleaned properly before repair was signed off on. Gross. Remote control-only half of buttons worked. Power button did not work. Bathroom way too small to shut the door. Since I was alone, I just left it open the whole time. Very hard bed woke me up and left me feeling sore on side I was sleeping on next day. Very flat pillows. Old bedspread. Weird close rack and hangers over chair by window (no closet). What time is complimentary breakfast? Doesn't say anywhere & I looked. Nothing was out by 7:00am and it was all put away by 8:30am. Wasn't more than cereal and toast and cheap pastries anyway. That seems standard now for these breakfasts. Chair in corner of room and ottoman both were obviously stained and should have been replaced/removed. Vending machines did not work at all. Neutral:either guests or an employee go into the hallway/stairwell to smoke so I smelled it often when I went to my room. May not be hotel's fault if it is guests sneaking a smoke.

"Hard beds"
The main issue was the bed felt like it was made of brick. I like a firm mattress but this one hurt to lay on. Knobs were ripped off the heaterGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Needs refurbishing. No tissues in room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good customer service"
They need to clean a bit more thoroughly. The information card by the phone was filthy, which leads me to believe the other items bathroom, microwave etc. might need better service. The continental breakfast was good, I would suggest extending the service hours to 10 am.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Revolution Rocks"
Very good accommodations. Very friendly and efficient staff. Waffles for breakfast would have been better.Genuine Expedia guest review

"Super 8 - Gilroy, CA"
Upon my arrival there was a leak in the ceiling that had collaspsed. I was concerned about the water being turned off, but was assured everything was fine. The next morning I was advised the water would be turned off for 2 hours, which ended up being more like 4 or 5 hours. Due to the leak, there was a lot of maintenance going on throughout the day. […] Kind of irritating but understandable considering the leak. My sink was clogged the entire time & the hot water was off completely the next morning. I was going to complain for the inconvenience but I wasn't up for the excuses. I don't know if I will stay there again. It was just, JUST! Nothing impressive. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Handy Hotel by Outlet Mall"
For your shoppers, or those who want to avoid higher hotel prices nearer San Francisco, this hotel is a great stay. The beds are comfortable, although the rooms are small. The continental breakfast is fine for our family-hot and cold cereal, pastries, toast, juice, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Can't beat the location if you like to shop the outlets. […] The Gap, Coldwater Creek and Chicos are literally right next door, and Coach and a hundred other stores are a short walk. Lots of restaurants too, including Denny's next door. Right off the 101-you can head to Frisco or Monterey and come back to sleep there. Nothing fancy, just a clean room and breakfast at a great price. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Very impressed"
MY partner and I recently stayed at the Gilroy Super 8. The front desk staff and room accommodations were more then exceptional. For the price I paid per night, couldn't be better. Our room had a microwave, Mini Fridge, Coffee maker, King Bed, and a working Heat/AC unit.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Super 8 in Gilroy, CA"
The super 8 in Gilroy, CA is a pretty gross hotel. Night staff ignored us for a while while he spoke on the Phone to some friend. Our room was assigned, but marked as dirty in thier system. Clerk "checked it out" and said it was fine. Trash on floor and toilet brush in toilet. I have stayed in much nIcer motels. For the price, this place was a gross […] rip-off. I will not stay there again ever Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Super8 in gilroy,ca"
Entire hotel infested with bedbugs. Management knowingly rented rooms out for a PGA TOUR event with bedbugs. My staff and all had to have clothes and luggage cleaned and many people were riddled with bites. Horrible hotel. Filthy rooms. Do not stay here.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Good Over-Niter Hotel"
Driving up from San Diego area to San Francisco in the middle of the night we stopped and stayed at this hotel. We checked in at 12:30AM and was out of the hotel by 7:30AM. Older, but clean and comfortable. Next door to a Denny's and the freeway access. I wouldn't stay here as a destination for the Garlic Festival, but it was quite, convenient, clean, […] and comfortable. A great hotel for the money. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Only 1 flaw, but it was huge"
We enjoyed our time at the hotel... until we noticed the large accumulation of mold in the shower. Easy to fix if you change the way the shower is cleaned. Overall the hotel was what I expected in that price range.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Average average average"
Super 8, some are good some are just a night to sleep. you probably wouldn't want to stay more than one night here even though it's convenient and very close to the Outlet shops.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Will Stay Again"
We have season passes to Gilroy Garden theme park. The hotel is only a short drive to the park. Eddie, the man working when we checked in really went out of his way to be friendly and gave us a warm welcome. He made sure we had enough towels are really was awesome. The faucet was broken for the shower but I did get it to work. No big deal. Wish the […] bathroom had a real counter top but other than that, the room was very comfortable. The AC worked great and kept the temp perfect. Not to hot, not too cold. Denny's is right outside and offers a 15% discount if you show your room key. For dinner the kids ate free so you cant beat it. Next time we go back to Gilroy, I know where we will be staying. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Motel 8 Gilroy -- prepare for the garlic!"
First the good: Motel 8 in Gilroy, CA is right off the highway and walking distance from Denny's. Not a pretty location, but all in all, it's a very clean property at at very good price. Now the bad: Though the rooms were clean, one of our group was bitten bloody by a bedbug and was unable to get back to sleep that night. The manager sympathized, but […] did not offer a refund of any kind. Breakfast was very meager, but that's to be expected at a one-star place. And the truly bizarre: The front desk manager was waaaaay too friendly and VERY "high-maintenance!" From the moment we arrived, he shared a number of complaints with us about his family, and actually guilted one of our party into going out to buy him a sandwich, claiming that he hadn't eaten in 17 hours and that he didn't want to ask his wife to do it for him! Very strange.... Oh, and Gilroy is touted as the "Garlic Capital of the World," and they're not kidding! You can smell garlic in the air for miles around, so be prepared.

"Worst service I have ever received at a hotel"
Manager did not know what he was doing. Made us wait for 20 mins just for him to check us in since computer "was having problem". Insulted another member of our guest party & gave us the run around when we had already paid for room on hotels.com. total wait time was almost an hour to check in for a room we had already paid for. We would have left after […] 5 mins if we had not paid in advance. We were shocked at how bad the service was. Hotel was clean and rooms were nice. The only way I would ever recommend this place is if they get new management. Was very disappointed by the service. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
The water piping must be 1/4 inch. Every time someone changed the water setting somewhere in the motel, my shower got ice cold or blazingly hot. Oh, and the toilet decided that it all of a sudden didn't want to drain after being flushed. Oh well, you get what you pay for...Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Customer Service Sucks"
The guy at the counter was not efficient. He had a long line of customers and he kept leaving the counter to go get danish rolls, and telling everyone to have a seat and eat some rolls and coffee. No one accepted his invitation to eat or drink,because everyone wanted to get checked in. Then he took approximately 30 minutes to check each customer in. […] We thought we'd never get to go to our room. Once we did get in the room we were satisfied with the condition of the room, for the price. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"super 8 Motel in Gilroy-can walk to outlet stores."
The price and the room were reasonable. The place is dated but meet all my needs. The room is dated but was clean and comfortable. Denny's next door. My daughter and I walked to some of the outlet stores closeby, dropped off our stuff in the room and shopped some more.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A great place to stay and shop"
We were in Santa Cruz and drove to Gilroy Super 8 for the night because it was a great value for the money. The motel is located right next to the Gilroy Outlet Stores so the great shopping is a bonus. The breakfast could be a bit better, but it is just what they say. We will stay again next time we are in the area.Genuine Expedia guest review

"It Is What It Is"
A decent, clean motel next to the freeway. A little pricey given the location, but otherwise unremarkable. South-facing rooms look out on a brightly-lit Denny's parking lot. Avoid them if you like to sleep with your curtains open.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Fine example of a fine hotel"
The Super 8 Hotel in Gilroy, California meets my standards of a Super 8 - quiet interior and comfortable accomodations (there are other Super 8's that don't achieve that). Though the room was not especially large, the king bed was well-appointed. The Wi-fi access was reliable and had a strong signal. Just a few nitpicks - the television did not have […] a wide range of channels from which to choose, the clock radio did not work, and an access panel/trim piece under the tub was not well-painted. But other than those, I was pleased. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
