Farzad

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Upon arrival, the front staff were not helpful and helping with the luggage. There was a distinctive smell of detergent in the rooms that make it very hard to sleep. The breakfast buffet was amazing, especially the staff was very helpful and super nice. The beds were clean and comfortable. Overall, for us, the condition of the room was just acceptable and it would be great if it was not that much of a horrible smell in the room.

Best stay in San Jose!

One of the best hotels in terms of service we’ve ever stayed in. The most delicious breakfast with standard breakfast things plus a ton of local items (including the most delicious fruit)! Each staff member we met was incredibly helpful, kind and welcoming. 10/10!
