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.

No me gusto. Le falta luz... al parqueo, a la habitación. Un hotel viejo, no han hecho mucho mantenimiento,mobiliario viejo sin renovar. Algo que rescatar la amabilidad del personal.
