Easy and simple with the bathrooms in the hallway; yet exactly the perfect location and comfort. Can only recommend since you go out and can walk throughout downtown by foot. The staff was also very welcoming and forthcoming.

The grounds and gardens are beautifully cared for. Extremely clean and cheerful. They have sweet little touches too like little containers of koi and duck food for the kids to feed them. We only had breakfast at the restaurant but the food was exceptional. The pool area is clean and lovely. I wish we had more than one night here.

While technically a 3 star, it was better than some 4 stars I have stayed at. I would put this hotel closer to 4 stars for decor, room size, comfort, pool facilities and staff attentiveness. A special mention for RJ who was super welcoming. Parking is free, onsite and plentiful. Location wise, while not a typical vacation stay area, this was a fantastic base for downtown San Jose, a trip to the coast, a trip to Yosemite etc. Nearby lots of restaurants (within walking distance, and a large outdoor shopping complex with a huge reasonably priced supermarket. Try the Taco street van just down the road for authentic Mexican cuisine. Although room only, there is a service station in reception to replenish on tea/coffee in a morning and has plenty of fresh fruit. You can order breakfast options from reception. For between $8-12. I would definitely stay here again.

I liked almost everything about this property: interior design, cleanliness, facilities! I had a room with balcony, which is a bit bigger, nicely designed. The location was ok, close to Apple Park where I had to go, and also to 1 or 2 bus lines.
