The staff was friendly and helpful, our room the 1st night was noisy and we didn't get so they much sleep so they moved us to a quieter room for the nest three nights. The pillows were cheap with hard foam and no drinking glasses were provided so we had to use our hands as cups in order to brush our teeth. You were only allowed one type of beverage and one serving per person at breakfast, this is the only hotel I've ever stayed in where you only got 1 cup of coffee for breakfast. Great location and staff but there definitely could be improvements perhaps management needs retraining.
Friendly staff. Older building and small room. Water low pressure in bathroom. Great location in center San Jose. Lots shopping opportunities and lots of food options. Safe with police security around. Nice breakfast.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Close to everything downtown. Even though the room didn't have any window (except a tiny one in the bathroom), it was very noisy with both streets traffic as well as breakfast served in the early morning.

The elevator has been broken when we checked out, so need to go up and down to the fifth floor by foot.
The parking is not included and price in parking garage in this area are high.
It was the worse experience in my life in front of my family, the guy in charge if the hotel welcomed us with a terrible attitude and asked my sister and brother n law to leave the hotel. As soon as he saw us coming told us ,no one else beside the person who had the reservation could stayed. I felt so bad because they just dropping us by the hotel. Them asked us to sign a piece of paper saying we agree to pay for any damages. I didnt like his attitude and told him about it and responded to me that if i didnt like it , i could leave. So, with this kind of treatment of course i didnt wanted to spend my money in this hotel.
Dont recommended 😑
