My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had a nice old-school charm to them. The service was polite and helpful, though there was a slight hiccup when we requested a microwave and fridge. The location was convenient, being close to San Jose and offering beautiful views. The dining experience was a bit of a turn-off, but the facilities were decent.
