I was thrilled with my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, just a few meters away from the Museum of Jade, and close to downtown attractions. The rooms are filled with lovely art and spotlessly clean, although it would be perfect if the windows closed properly. The service was exceptional, even though they stumbled with finding our reservation. The dining experience, which was included in the rate, offered copious amounts of coffee but lacked variety beyond scones. Overall, a great value for money with a few minor hiccups.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was great, just a few meters away from the Museum of Jade entrance, in a nice suburb area of San Jose. The rooms were beautifully decorated with art throughout but lacked proper window closing, giving a slightly uncomfortable feel. The service, unfortunately, had a hiccup as they couldn't find our reservation initially. The dining was a pleasant surprise with copious amounts of coffee and assorted fruits. However, the facilities could use a bit of an upgrade to enhance the overall guest experience.

What a delightful hotel! The rooms are beautifully adorned with art throughout, always stocked with clean towels, and the window stays open for fresh air. The bathroom is modern and well-maintained. The service, although initially unable to locate our reservation, was incredibly accommodating once the issue was resolved. The location is unbeatable, situated in a nice suburb area of San Jose, just a few meters away from the Museum of Jade entrance. Everything San Jose has to offer is within easy reach. Dining at the hotel includes side dishes, and the rate covers a satisfying amount of coffee. The facilities are top-notch, including a luxurious pool area.
