I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The lack of windows in the rooms, apart from the one in the bathroom facing the stairwell, was uncomfortable, but the spa bath was a nice touch. The service was excellent, from the reception to the room service staff. The location was convenient in the city, though the nearby train tracks were a bit noisy. The dining options were limited, but the yogurts were a nice addition to breakfast. The facilities were adequate for my stay.

I can't say enough good things about this hotel! The rooms may lack windows, but they're surprisingly spacious and have everything you need. The mold on the ceilings was a bit off-putting, but for the price I paid, I can't complain. The service here was top-notch, from the moment I arrived until I left. The location was convenient, within walking distance of some fantastic restaurants and nightlife spots. However, the proximity to the train tracks was a downside for me. The dining options were limited, but I found a great Chinese food place nearby. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms were spacious and had a decent size, it was a bit disappointing that most had no windows except for one facing the hotel stairwell. The service, especially from Darren Rutherford and the food and beverage staff, was top-notch. The location was central and convenient to the city, even though the area was small with limited activity. The dining experience offered healthy dishes but could be improved. Overall, a good value for what it offers.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The location was excellent, especially for dining options and nightlife in San Jose. The rooms, though spacious, had some drawbacks like mold on the ceilings and lack of proper windows. The service was top-notch, with extremely friendly and helpful staff. However, the lack of activity in the small area around the hotel was a downside.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location is central and convenient, ideal for exploring the city, but the room's lack of windows and some mold on the ceilings were drawbacks. The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff, and the food provided was top-notch. Facilities were satisfactory, although nothing extraordinary.
