Interesting hotel. Super unique. Totally disorganized and our room was infested with bed bugs. We left immediately when we discovered this. Management wasn’t even surprised about the bugs. Huge project to sanitize our luggage so we don’t take them home with us.

I like old buildings surrounded by nature. This place might not be for everyone but it was perfect for me. Tranquilo. Older people. No stupid young idiots, parties, or noise. Great free breakfast. Amazing staff.

Everything was great except the breakfast, almost all the breads had ants inside the breads! Staff was super friendly and can't complain much about the price, if you are going to eat breakfast though just stick to the hot foods or fresh fruit

We really enjoyed our stay here! The room was clean and comfortable. The gardens were really nice. The best part was the breakfast buffet, which had an egg guy and all kinds of delicious food.

The décor is very interesting and the outside areas pleasant with mature trees for bird and squirrel activity in the center of a city. It is older properties connected so all will not be perfect but offers a very nice ambiance.
One of the most complete breakfast services one will find

It was a very cozy place to stay at . I had stomach issues first 2 days of being there so i didnt really do everything i wanted to. But many things to do walking distance and ubers are a life saver. For nightlife its a 10 min walk and for bars as well. Shopping area is around 15 to 20 mins and there is a lot of store in the shopping area. The breakfast at the hotel was pretty decent im not a breakfast person . The staff were very respectful and sweet and greeted everyone. I dont know if the rooms were supposed to have ac but it was hot in my room i had to turn the ceiling fan on which was kind of loud. But the bathrooms and rooms itself were clean and they asked everyday if i wanted cleaning services.

It was a lovely hotel with extremely helpful and friendly staff and a lot of charm. The area was walkable to museums, shopping, etc. And the breakfast was excellent. The only complaint was that it's easy to hear loud noises through the room walls.

I truthfully feel sorry writing a bad review as I never do this- but really, not even a fan?? I almost can understand no air conditioning, but not even a single fan in the room?!?! and if you open the screenless windows straight to the lobby you can for one hear everything (almost doesn't matter as you still could with the window closed) and also be eaten by mosquitoes and allow a variety of other creatures into your room. But even though we only opened the windows briefly, there was still a massive cockroach in the bathroom. Just for laughs I will mention the TV barley worked, the safe did not work at all, and we were literally electrocuted by the light-switch. This may have ALL been forgiven if there was just one single fan.....
staff was nice, area felt decent, and my car was accommodated without hassle however parking spaces very limited.
This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. Sorry, but really.

Loved the plants every where's. Breakfast was amazing as well. The staff were phenomenal! I was expecting the room to be a little bigger but it ended up not being an issue. If I return to San Jose, this will always remain an option for us!

The location was nice for walking to lunch in the city and was close to museums. The other reviews definitely give you an unrealistic picture of what you’re getting from the hotel. It is a small property without air conditioning. The beds are rock hard and the shower/bathroom setup isn’t ideal as they are located together with no barrier so the toilet area gets very wet and is a hazard since they do not provide a towel for the ground. Luckily we went on an excursion that took up the whole day so we only really used the room to sleep but take the marvelous reviews with a grain of salt.

Loved it!
The place was very unique. The room was comfortable and updated. The price was very inexpensive. The breakfast was worth the price in itself. The staff was very knowledgeable about areas around there for food and airport info.
