Hôtel bien placé pour aller ce balader dans l’avenue centrale, proche de tout à pied, un parking payant est proche dans la rue derrière pour votre voiture afin d’être tranquille pour 1000 crc par heure.

房間，服務，早餐都好。離中國城也特別近，去玩都很方便，但是聖何塞晚上的治安有點嚇人，六點以後周邊的商店全部關門。不敢在外面走。我老公是拉美人都嚇得慌。我們都是快步走能多快多快。如果來旅遊一定要注意安全！

The overall property is very clean and the location is convenient for shopping and getting a quick bite to eat. The staff was very friendly and quick to offer assistance if they think you are looking a little lost. My one complaint is the free breakfast is very limited in what you can eat. But then again it is free and you have the option to pay for a regular meal

Our suite was perfect. And the hotel was just 2 blocks away from the Historical District. The staff were very helpful, and breakfast was delicious.

Gym had almost zero functionality. None of the equipment I wanted to use were working! Both available treadmills were broken. Overall, I couldn't use the gym. That was one of the main reasons I booked that hotel, apart from location, so that was very disappointing. Other than that the service was great and breakfasts were nice. Great customer service.

They should have more staff at the time of check in/out so you don’t have to wait 20 minutes. Each room should have a small fridge.
