We'd like to return next time we're in San Jose. The quaint charming courtyard pairs well with the rooms. The service was great! Friendly and helpful. The only negative is the lack of free car parking.

Very comfortabe, eclectic ambiance and the staff is lovely! I stayed overnight to be close to the airport and it was perfect. Only an 8 minute taxi ride. The beds were very comfortable and everything was very clean. Breakfast was delicious (eggs with spinach, tomatoes & onion) & fresh. Lots of shopping and restaurants choices all in walking distance as well as a beautiful park in the town center a few blocks away. Great place to sit and feed the pigeons! I can highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again.
