Guest reviews for WhyHotel by Placemakr, San Jose

Everyone (1)
3 out of 5
The building is brand new with pleasant common spaces. Apartment units are nicely appointed. Since it is a new building, there were some issues with ventilation and lighting systems. Staff were responsive, but one of these issues occurred in the middle of the night when staff are not available. If you stay at this property, know that you need to coordinate all communication between 9am and 5pm. You will not be able to reach staff first thing in the morning or evening if you have not already made prior arrangements.
