Convenient stay
Basic hotel, it’ll satisfy your need for sleep, shower, breakfast. Has tv and fridge. Air conditioning is very good. Busy area, great for a take-off to explore what downtown San Jose has to offer. If you’re looking for more than the basics, you have to look somewhere else. And pay more.

I lost my money I couldn't stay in the hotel, it seems like they stayed in the 70's, the damp ceilings, I felt very claustrophobic in that place, I had to go and pay for another hotel, it is not honest that there are photos that are not real, it did not last 20 minutes in the hotel .

Rate convenience
Increasing of the rates taking advantage from Festival issue. My room doesn't accomplished with described in web page, despite a expedia.com representative called directly to hotel to reconfirm the reservation and the hotel guaranteed my 2 double beds, at check-in, never didn't. I complained with the hotel and they said there wasn't available rooms, a expedia.com representative contacted with hotel and also said there wasn't available rooms. At the end I had to paid extra $100.oo more to get the same room I asked for on the reservation. So, there was available rooms but the doesn't give it to me because the Festival issue, no matter I did my reservation three months ago. Disappointed❗

Terrible sleeping experience. Sheets too small for the bed. The bathroom floor was damped and had water coming out all the time. We saw a small cockroach the first night and complained and asked for better bed sheets and next day they were the same ones.
