The remodeled motel is really nice - nicest in downtown San Jose. Certainly a 4 star. Extremely clean, great restaurant, pleasant friendly staff. The bar is rather small and crowded with working girls.
There is no shopping or banks near by. The main downtown shopping district, ATMs, central market (great place to shop, eat,visit) and wonderful museums are several blocks away but a taxi is less than $2 about anywhere downtown. Do not leave the place after dark unless it is on fire.
Just a side note - the working ladies in the bar are primarily single moms supporting children. Many really nice ladies but some will take things from your room if they get a chance. Put all valuables in the safe when they are around. Only get your wallet out of the safe to pay when they leave - not before.
