Really disappointing stay at this hotel in a Deluxe Double Room. While the property was suitably clean, the rooms and amenities were pretty basic, poorly designed or broken — I had been staying a hostels in San Jose that were 1/4 of the price of this place which were in a better condition. Bathroom was a wetroom with the shower the same level as the floor, so the water sprayed everywhere. Plug sockets were falling out of the wall and room felt like a cell. The worst part was the staff. Rude at check-in, restaurant and management. I had made the mistake of booking this double room for one person on ******* — it should have been for 2 but there was no difference in price on *******, so I messaged the hotel in advance if they could amend. They tried to charge me extra when the second guest eventually arrived. I had a really frustrating conversation with the manager who was dressed in a hoodie and who couldn’t care less about the price on ******* or providing customer service.

Quite clean and functional. Good supply of hot water in the shower. Staff was friendly and professional, and quite accommodating as I had an early morning flight so they ordered for me a bag breakfast to eat at checkout.

The hotel is nice, staff wonderful. Restaurant is ok. It was very loud at night. Sounded like a nightclub was in building. And the bed was the HARDEST BED EVER. I woke constantly unable to get comfortable because felt like I was laying on a hard floor.

Nice property with garden, pool, restaurant. Very short drive to local dining options and easy freeway access to the airport. Secure free parking just across the street 50 yards. Rooms are quaint with good beds and nice hardwood floors. However, poorly lit rooms are smaller than average, shower water pressure is astonishingly low despite water flow to the faucet - plumbing issue. Bath towels are old. Overall, good hotel, but these small details prevent from taking it up a notch. PS - Is non-refundable, so if your plans change, must be willing to take the hit.
