The hotel's location in the city center of San Jose is fantastic, making it convenient for exploring the area. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although it was a bit odd that some didn't have windows. The service was impeccable, but the dining options were not included which could be improved. Overall, a great value for the money.

The hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of San Jose, within walking distance of everything you need. The rooms are cozy and equipped with a comfortable bed, but some might find it strange that certain rooms lack windows. The service is top-notch, making you feel right at home; however, the lack of certain amenities might not be worth the price. The location is a solid 8, super close to the market, but convenience comes with a price. When it comes to dining, the grilled seafood is a must-try, adding flavor to your stay. The facilities are extensive but might not meet everyone's standards.
