Hotel was convenient to the airport and there were 2 or 3 dining options within walking distance. Security at the front was nice and the staff were very pleasant. We had a flight out of San Jose at 5:30 AM and so we needed to catch a shuttle to the airport at around 3:30 AM. The front desk reception informed me that this was well before they began breakfast but offered me a "breakfast-to-go" brown bag. That was nice and came in very handy at the airport. All in all, it was a convenient and pleasant hotel.

Extremely close to the airport with frequent shuttles. Very friendly and helpful staff. Spacious room, comfortable bed, and good shower. They even had a breakfast to go waiting for us when we checked out for a very early morning flight! Highly recommend for easy overnight stay when arriving to San Jose late or leaving early.
