The staff is an absolute Ace, I love staying here thank you to Keniafor her patience with me and the every one here at Barcelona San Jose. Ive extends my stay for another 2 days. Night crew kitchen is excellent definitely try the marques Burger fruit plate for room service. Security is top notch here just enjoy your self.
Premium room on the 6th floor very good had a guest but extra charges for the guest should be lower to expensive.
Had 3 guest will have work out better to book another room than paying for the guest pass.
close proximity to the city, airport and easy access to the highway. Pool and garden areas are amazing. Rooms are nice with comfy beds. Hallway was a bit musty due to lack of AC vents. Overall a great place to stay if in SJ area.
