  • Satisfaction:
  • I stayed at this hotel March 2006 for 4 days. It does have a good location as it is in downtown San Jose with a Casino right across the street. However, right behind the hotel is the very "bad" section of town. One of the people with us had someone attempt to steal her purse while in a store shopping and a guy that was with us, on a seperate occasion had someone pull a knife on him.
    The hotel was very worn looking and seemed very out of date.
    The first room that we received did not have a door that would open, after making a 3 hour drive from our previous destination we wanted in our room to rest. The person at the front desk told us to go wait and someone would be with us in a few minutes. After about 30 minutes we went back to the front desk and was assured someone would be along shortly, so finally another hour later our door was unlocked for us. Apparently the maintenence person broke the lock because at that point the door would no longer lock. The staff told us they didnt have anymore rooms and we would have to keep that one anyway.
    We did not want to stay in a hotel that had a door that would not lock! Much less go anywhere because we had to keep an eye on our stuff.
    FINALLY our leader of the Study Abroad program convinced them to give us a different room. The door worked fine but we had a window that would not shut all the way.
    The hot water did not work either so we had to take cold showers.
    I would defintly advice staying somewhere else!
