I got in around midnight after a grueling flight and travel…there is nothing better than a Hilton bed when you really need to relax and recharge before the next adventure. Slept like a baby. Great central location in San Jose to catch your breath or enjoy a couple days in the mountains

Too loud at night with teenagers running wild in the hallways and yelling and not one staff to quiet them down.
