"My preferred place to stay in San Jose (have probably stayed here at least 20 times, and I have stayed at many places in town so I have a fair idea of what's "normal" here even for the high-end hotels). Large and clean rooms, great location and staff. Only downside is there is no restaurant/bar in the hotel, rather in the separate casino which is a bit sleazy for my tastes. But there are decent restaurants within a short walk."

10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful room with friendly and wonderful staff. The restaurant in the hotel was pricey but the food was amazing. Location is in a busy area but there’s lots to do all in walking distance. Also There’s nowhere to park, you can only do valet which is just a one-time payment of $28 for your whole stay."
