"No AC, loud noises from street (lots of motorcycles), loud music from lobby (karaoke machine?), bed with no blanket (only top sheet), and bathroom out of TP and paper towels. However, hotel staff were super friendly and helpful and responded quickly to any inquiries. Decent storage in room closet. Area is secure (garage door and front door locked at night). Had a private room for 4 and it did the trick for a 1 night stay before early flight but otherwise would be rough. "

BEE Suites San Jose - Escalante

8/10 Good
"This place is a modern apartment complex in a great neighborhood. I wish the bed had been a little more comfortable. And my son wishes that the weights in the weight room were not locked up. Oh, and there were loud barking dogs in the room next to us. But otherwise, this place is clean, modern, and located in a great neighborhood."
