First this is a very nice new hotel so all of the facilities are in excellent condition. The staff is friendly, very accommodating and the front desk personal speak English.

Very comfortable beds, very clean, friendly staff and easy access in and out of San Jose. Excellent restaurants close by. This hotel was perfect. Not cheap but it included a nice hot buffet breakfast.

Although it is located a bit outside San Jose, it is a quick taxi trip into town, as long as traffic is not too bad. It is however located in a business district, and near a large mall and numerous dining options.

I stay in a lot of Holiday Inns but this one was one of the best. It's about a 10 minute drive from the airport (the Holiday Inn Express is closer) but worth it. Very modern, clean, comfortable beds.
