The location was convenient to all the places I wanted to visit, but it felt a bit sketchy at night. The dining options were very good with a variety of choices. Overall, a comfortable and budget-friendly choice.
I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. While the rooms were basic and underwhelming compared to the rest of the property, they were spacious and comfortable. Unfortunately, the double and twin beds were not as cozy as I had hoped for. The service was kind and accommodating, although a bit vague at times. The hotel's location was perfect for exploring downtown San Jose, but I found the dining options to be lacking. Overall, it was a decent stay with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The room, although large and pretty with a nice bathroom, was occasionally noisy at night due to various disturbances.
