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.

I stayed in a room facing the courtyard, and it had a large mission style desk and a very comfortable mattress. The room was clean, quiet, and of decent size, offering all the standard facilities you'd expect in a 3-star hotel. Everything worked well, and I found it to be quite cozy.

My stay at the hotel was great overall. The rooms were clean and tidy, and although some amenities like a DVD player or microwave were missing, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was spotless. The service was friendly and efficient, although there were some minor issues with billing. The location was convenient, especially for those wanting to explore San Jose or catch a flight, but the Wi-Fi signal could be better. The dining options were decent, with a good selection including vegetarian dishes, but the breakfast left something to be desired. The facilities were satisfactory, with everything in working order.

I arrived at the hotel for a quick half-hour stay, and despite some musky smells, my room had a balcony that I couldn't access. The ash marks from previous w33d smoking on the air conditioner were off-putting, but the room itself seemed decent for a short stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, despite feeling a bit outdated with a lingering old smell, offered a spacious living area and a large shower with great pressure. The service was friendly, and the property had very fast WiFi available. The location was convenient for families and food options, although encounters with peculiar individuals in the hallway were a bit odd. The dining experience was a turn-off due to the expensive menu, but the fresh dishes were appreciated. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory.
