The room we were in had such a great tropical feel. It was a little haven in the middle of the city. The girls loved the loft area!

Very welcoming and hopeful staff. We stayed here after arriving in San Jose at midnight. Somebody was waiting for us at the door with a smile, and served us a sweet breakfast in the morning. Great place.
