"I am very very disappointed in this hostel. There were no actual door locks. The property is old and not in good repair and worst of all is that my mattress smelled very strongly of cat urine. Really! They tried to cover it up by hanging a toilet bowl sanitizer on the wall of the room. I removed it because the fumes were overwhelming. Also... they rent rooms by the hour! Yikes. It was the worst experience for me in a hotel/hostel, and I am a world wide traveller and often opt for...

"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."

Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport

8/10 Good
"Breakfast was adequate - the eggs were obviously either frozen or powdered instead of fresh but overall it was ok. we requested a room with 2 beds for one of the rooms and twice were given a room with 1 bed. As I had two male guests who didn't want to share a bed, we were forced to make other arrangements with another fellow traveler. It was a real help to have a car rental key drop at the hotel for National/Alamo/Enterprise. Saved us a ton of time the morning we left so I appreciate the staff pointing that option out to us and helping us get that arranged with the rental agency."
