I'm sorry you experienced some kind of staff issue as that is not a reflection on the outstanding customer service scores and reputation we have built for our hotel. If there is a specific instance that you would like to discuss, I am more than happy to review and resolve any inconvenience.
This was our first time staying in San Jose, definitely not the last!! Will recommend this property to family and friends.

The staff was so incredibly kind. It is super close to lots of restaurants and shopping. My only complaint was that the ice machine near our room was broken. Other than that, we would highly recommend!!

Thanks for the review and sorry that you were not satisfied with the breakfast. We offer over 40-items, so most find something to their liking.
Good location; updated rooms; very clean; friendly and courteous staff. Free breakfast had lots of options. Pleasantly surprised and would definitely recommend it!

Front desk staff do not know their product very well. They don't know where the ethernet connector was. I had to look for it and it was behind the coffee machine in the room.
They also did not know how fast the connection was--they just said "its very fast". Useless information. I measured it at its is about 80Mb/s down and 60M/bs up. Its not bad and the connection was reliable although there was now instructions on how to connect.
If you have asthma, ask for a room that they didn't spray with some kind of perfumey air freshener. I was almost gaging when I first entered the room. Even though all entries to each room are from the outside (no indoor corridor), it is impossible to open the windows to air the room out--windows appear to be stuck.
Hot water was almost instant and you never have to worry about running out while taking a shower.
It was a pretty basic hotel that servers breakfast and not a bad value for $110/night. The location was really convenient and relatively quiet too.

We are happy that you enjoyed the fast internet as well as the breakfast. We look forward to a repeat visit.
On the whole, the property is lovely. The breakfast was excellent. The staff all very pleasant and helpful.
Some renovations were taking place at the time of our stay. The pool was not available and there were mattresses and bed frames visible from our room. This temporarily took away from the appearance of the property.

Affordable, comfortable and in the idea location for our trip. Would stay there again. Good breakfast, pleasant staff and comfortable room. Pool is closed until 2024 for refurbishing. That’s ok, it was a bit cold for swimming anyway. Seems like they take good care of the property.

I had a very pleasant stay here while attending a conference at nearby Santa Clara University (about a mile away). The room was nice and new and very clean. It was quiet with a comfortable bed. Very good value. Recommend

Once again, we are sorry that the resurfacing of the pool was disturbing, although it never started before 10am. I know that it could be a disappointment if that is why choose a hotel. We waited as long after Summer to begin the process and hope to have it ready for the season again and look forward to your return visit to enjoy a new pool area, until then, thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sorry that you were disturbed by someone at 7am since the work going on at the pool is only allowed to start at 10am. Unfortunately, there really is no other way to replace the pool deck, we have to go through inconvenient times to get to a new and spectacular pool deck. I hope you come back to enjoy it!
The room and facilities were clean. However, considering it was supposed to be a non-smoking facility, the room definitely smelled of smoke. Most annoying though was that the A/C only seemed to work intermittently so it was quite warm in the room most all night.

Terrible we where infected with bad bogs and scabies
Johnny
Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2023
Response from Dean on Sep 21, 2023
As I have discussed this with the registered guest, scabies show symptoms at a minimum of 2-weeks after being infected...most of the time closer to 6-weeks. As you and your mother showed symptoms and sought medical attention within 48-hours, your medical affliction was derived elsewhere. We are sorry that you were exposed to mites, but you are searching for a resolution with the wrong facility.
Thanks for all the STARS!!! We really appreciate it. We look forward to providing the ease of access and clean and quiet accommodations in the future!
