Very Noisy, No Sleep

The hotel itself was nice, very clean and service was good. Plus the location by the City Mall was great in that you have plenty of restaurants to pick from. However, the hotel is located on a very busy road and window insulation for sound is very poor. So you could hear every motorcycle, truck or emergency vehicle that goes by. Probably the worst sleep I've every had at a hotel. Also, the bed was very hard.

Breakfast buffet was wonderful. Staff was mostly courteous. We stayed there mainly as convenience for airport not to visit San Jose. Hours of airport shuttle pick-up didn’t seem consistent.

Nice, close to the airport,

Nice stay with free shuttles every 30 minutes to and from the airport. Casino next door has some basic foods if you come in late. This hotel is next to City Mall though we did not go.

Nice property close to the airport, which is a plus for late night arrivals. Took awhile for the shower water to get warm but it did (I would have liked it hotter but it was passable). Would stay here again.
