el peor hotel visitado
la peor estadía de mí vida es un hotel donde no deben ir sras solas. Es un hotel que se usa para reencuentros sexuales con prostitutas. Soy una Sra viuda y fue muy feo. deberían avisar eso en vuestro sitio. Pagué muy caro por un mal servicio y peor hotel

Halloween Business Trip
Traveled to San Jose for a Business trip. Stayed at the hotel over Halloween. They dis a wonderful job of decorating the facility for a large Halloween party, unfortunately a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert took place on Halloween so the party was canceled. Hotel Has a good restaurant, Several bars and good security for all people entering. Rooms were clean and the staff friendly. I'll be back. A good stay.
