Recently acquired by the Best Western chain, the Forest Park Inn of Gilroy is a clean, friendly place to stay - located along the main approach to town from US 101 (Leavesley Rd), though most rooms are about 200 feet from the road and so provide a quiet night's sleep. All of the 122 rooms (on 3 storeys) enjoy a private balcony and are equipped with microwave & refrigerator; some overlook the hotel's outdoor pool. The other main amenities are a steam room, hot tub, exercise room, guest laundry, free full breakfast and meeting space accommodating events of up to 150 people. Gilroy Premium Outlets Mall is 0.7 miles east. The adjacent Black Bear Diner is a full service restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Like most hotels in Gilroy, the Comfort Inn is found on the east side of town near the Leavesley Road exit of US 101, 75 miles south of San Francisco. This is a typical small (65 room) roadside motel of 2 floors and exterior corridors, in a quiet, mostly residential area but close enough to shopping and dining. Amenities are a little above average, including outdoor heated pool, sauna, exercise room, free breakfast (continental), newsstand, business center and rooms with refrigerators.

One of two Choice hotels in Gilroy, the Quality Inn & Suites was recently converted from another brand, and is one of several accommodation choices near Gilroy Premium Outlets Mall on the east side of town, beside US 101. The location is near the corner of Murray Ave and Leavesley Rd in an area of many fast food restaurants, one mile from the town center. Gilroy is just 25 miles from Monterey Bay and so a good alternative if hotels there are full or too expensive. The 47 rooms of the Quality Inn are equipped with a microwave & refrigerator, and other services are free deluxe continental breakfast, an outdoor pool and guest laundry.
