    welcoming owner
    cramped garage

    A warm welcome in San Jose

    I felt at home as Lara, the owner, greeted me with genuine warmth upon arrival. The clean rooms provided a peaceful retreat after long days exploring the city.

    However, the enclosed garage was a bit cramped, making parking a tight squeeze. Plus, the snacks available were a bit pricey for my budget.

    Just an optimal selection for a day tour in San Jose with great for the money. The friendly staff were very helpful with my luggage. Try to get a room with a private bathroom for more comfort.

    newly built room
    enclosed garage
    welcoming owner
    noisy environment
    dated bathroom fixtures

    During my short stay as a solo traveler, I was impressed by the newly built environment. The room was comfortable and well-insulated, offering a great night’s sleep. I particularly appreciated the enclosed garage for parking, which made my stay much easier. Being close to attractions like Parque del Cafe was a bonus! The owner, Lara, was exceptionally welcoming and made everything feel hassle-free.

    nice gesture
    comfortable room
    sketchy parking

    Packed breakfast for an early check-out was a nice gesture, even if the portion was small. The King Room with Balcony offered a good amount of comfort for a night's stay.

    The parking situation was a nightmare. protected garage was full, and the surrounding area felt sketchy. We had to figure out alternate parking, which came with its own risks, and unfortunately, our car did get broken into. Plus, the food options outside of breakfast were on the pricey side.

    thin walls
    no ac

    the noise was unbearable, making me wonder if the walls are made of paper. Also, I was shocked by the lack of AC. I almost thought about giving a good review, but the lukewarm service felt like they just didn’t care. I was expecting a complimentary snack for my troubles, but no, just my good luck!

    Can just recommend for a short stay

    Newly built, friendly owner, the enclosed garage made my stay worry-free about parking options in the area, and the free breakfast was a delightful start to my day.

    Couldn’t ask for better.
