I traveled to San José for three nights on business. I looked for a good hotel near where I would be holding my meetings. Among the options, I found this hotel, which seemed fine. When I stayed there, I found a hotel with remodeled rooms, simple but new, as were the mattresses, towels, etc. The service was very friendly, and the breakfast was delicious.

This is a great local hotel. Very clean, nicely decorated, and the staff are helpful and courteous. The restaurant is beautiful and the food was delicious. We liked this hotel much more than the American chain hotels we have stayed at in San Jose.

Satisfactory hotel in a convenient location. Pretty pool area with restaurant next door including poolside tables. Food was very good and varied. I asked for a room with a pool view and I got it. However it was not totally vlean- there were dust balls and hair in the corners. The tiles were cracked too in both bathroom and bedroom

We liked the room/suite for its beds and bathroom but some seats would have been a nice addition as would a small refrigerator. The bar staff could have been a little friendlier. The restaurant was mostly open air. We froze at breakfast. We wore coats one night for dinner. But the food was good.

Really disappointing stay at this hotel in a Deluxe Double Room. While the property was suitably clean, the rooms and amenities were pretty basic, poorly designed or broken — I had been staying a hostels in San Jose that were 1/4 of the price of this place which were in a better condition. Bathroom was a wetroom with the shower the same level as the floor, so the water sprayed everywhere. Plug sockets were falling out of the wall and room felt like a cell. The worst part was the staff. Rude at check-in, restaurant and management. I had made the mistake of booking this double room for one person on Expedia — it should have been for 2 but there was no difference in price on expedia, so I messaged the hotel in advance if they could amend. They tried to charge me extra when the second guest eventually arrived. I had a really frustrating conversation with the manager who was dressed in a hoodie and who couldn’t care less about the price on expedia or providing customer service.
