this gem was tucked away and barely noticeable from the bustle of the streets. warm staff greeted you at the top of the stairway and bags were carried to a our spotless room overlooking the busy streets of San Jose. Boutique hotel adorned with plants and accent wooden beams. breakfast was the highlight, with a variety of fruits, rice and beans, hash, and breads to satisfy our vegan diet, accompanied with good coffee made for a solid start to a day of exploring.
