WAFER 450 Hotel in Santa Clara

This place is definitely showing its age. We paid $120 for one night. The carpet had more stains on it then color the faucet in the sink leak so bad that we used all the towels to keep the water from going all over. The beds were so old that you sink in them. Upon leaving we found out that they were in the process of renovating one room at a time. Not sure if this is a 10-year project or 10 month project or 10 week project. I definitely recommend you don't stay in one of the non remodeled rooms at $120. Good luck if you stay hopefully you get a remodels room.

Asked for recently renovated room upon reservation, did not get one. Carpeting is old and musty, decor 30 years dated. Bathroom cracked floors. Overall cleanliness was okay for beds and furniture. The AC worked great! The stairs had overgrown ivy that partially blocked passage. We only ate at included breakfast brunch. They kept the food fresh and plentiful and were friendly.

First off, I wasn't expecting any Myron Mixon pork or Franklin brisket seeing as I was visiting from the South where we know BBQ and this was Northernish Cali.
I ordered the 3 meat combo with pork shoulder, brisket, and tri tip. My sides were a salad with blue cheese and baked beans. I also ordered a side of jalapeno poppers.
Tri Tip: Extremely dry and flavourless. I felt like Chevy Chase in Christmas Vacation when everyone was eating the turkey dinner. If I wanted jerky, I would have bought some Jack Links.
Pork: Dry and flavourless but had more flavour then the tri tip.
Brisket: Not too dry when compared to the others but could have been a little juicier for my liking. Still though, no flavour.
Overall: Not good at all. Barely any smoke ring, no flavour (smoke or anything else), and dry.

Beans and sauce: Not good. Sauces are tomato based. All three had an overwhelming tomato flavor and made it seem sour on the palette.

Salad: Plus for being Romain and not iceberg. Had a sprinkle of shredded carrots an a single tomato slice. Essentially a bowl of lettuce with blue cheese.

Garlic bread and poppers: No complaints on either. Best food of the entire meal.

Would not be returning and would not recommend.

So so experience, totally average in all ways.
How hard is it to slow cook some meat, and make it tender and flavorful?
I expected much better for the price point.
