We had a brief one night stay on our way to Sn Jose - we had changed our reservation by a day as our plans evolved and had confirmation from Expedia but when we arrived the hotel hadn’t updated the date - but , Jesus at reception assured us it was no problem and we had a a room , but it was prepared for one person , not two , so we had to ask for the extra this and that for the two of us . But - all of the staff , Jesus in particular were just so wonderful, the restaurant staff as well , always smiling , nothing was a problem , so in the end after a bumpy start we had a great stay The hotel does need a little attention some details , but again , we had a great stay
