Hotel was very nice and updated. Room very clean and staff was friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the restaurant in the hotel for dinner, beautiful balcony and delicious meal. The only negative is the area around the hotel seems very unsafe and dirty, not the hotels fault but we were surprised by the area when we arrived. Maybe it’s just normal for San Jose but we didn’t feel safe walking around and stayed in our room and decided not to wonder around.

The staff was friendly and very accommodating. Room was clean but construction noise in room next door at 8 am was annoying. Other than that our stay was wonderful and will be booking it on our return route home.

The restaurant on the roof was stunning!!! And amazing service from the bell staff, and front desk folk. We had an early flight and they prepared a special little breakfast for us!!!! A little tricky to find/ park, but it’s expected for a dense downtown hotel. Food options nearby are good! And it was very walkable!
