Perfect spot to stay next to San Jose city-center. Everything is walkable from this small hotel which is half a block from the main square. Staff is very nice, helpful, English-speaking, and accommodating. Free breakfast is large and lots of choices. Room was HUGE and very clean, bathroom was very modern, and the bed was comfortable. High marks!!

Great location

Amazing location. Everything seemed walkable. Beds were cozy. The only real drawback was there was no real windows to look out and in the early morning there was this noise that sounded like pressurized steam blowing off intermittently from 7-9. Tolerable, just a bit annoying.
