The hotel had spacious rooms with a great size jacuzzi tub and offered buffet breakfast. The location was ideal for being centrally located in San Jose, close to the SAP Center and downtown. The service was a mix of nice and helpful interactions but also some challenges with communication. The dining options were limited to microwaved offerings, and the facilities were basic but adequate.

The hotel had some drawbacks like cigarette ashes and butts in the room and inconvenient light sensors, but the service was welcoming and friendly. The location was convenient for exploring downtown and had helpful staff, though some maintenance is needed. The dining options were satisfying, and the room had its flaws despite being in a nice area.

Rooms

The rooms were disappointing with cigarette ashes and butts, and the light sensor was not ideal, especially at night when sharing the room. They need improvement.
Service

The staff was extremely nice and welcoming, although they seemed more interested in talking to each other than focusing on guests like during breakfast. They were friendly and helpful overall, including with dining suggestions.
Location
6.0
The hotel is conveniently located with easy access to downtown bars and restaurants, and the proximity to Whole Foods and the train station is beneficial. However, some maintenance is required in the area, despite the added value from being close to SJSU and the nice neighborhood.
Dining
6.0
While the dining experience was satisfying with fresh and healthy dishes, certain elements were unappealing. More variety would improve the overall dining quality.
Facilities
The hotel facilities need some maintenance and attention to detail to enhance the overall guest experience.

The hotel was quite clean, with ample room that was massive compared to others. I especially enjoyed the jacuzzi bath they offer; that's the reason why I keep coming back. However, they did impose a $100 deposit on departure and some staff were unfriendly, including one with pinkeye. The location was great, offering a spacious room with a desk and table, but it was a bit far from Downtown. The dining options were minimal, with food that seemed to be straight out of a box. On the positive side, the hotel provided close access to venues and grocery stores for convenience.
