A nice short stay in San Jose.

Checked in 10pm and checked out 6:30am. The property looked great with ample parking. Located in a relatively quiet but well lit area. The balcony overlooking the pool was an added bonus for us. The bathroom looks a little outdated.

Ok but could be improved

It was an excellent experience, not very near from downtwon but an ok distance. The breakfast buffet was small and not interesting. The pool was cold.
