Considering the Holiday Inn Express Central City in San Jose?

That's what happens when you believe in ghosts. by Fewf
A bit of a tourist trap, but a cute one. Sarah L. Winchester, widow of gun magnate William W. Winchester, thought that the ghosts of the people killed by the Winchester rifle would come for her when she finishes building her house--so she decided she'll never finish. Parts of the house were constantly being built and torn down, doors were built that opened into walls, stairs were built that simply went into the ceiling, etc. There's really no mystery at all to the Winchester Mystery House, but it's cute to look at (though the tickets--at more than $20 a piece--are a bit steep). Additionally, Mrs. Winchester had enough money that she was able to amass quite a collection of some quite fancy stuff, which can also be interesting to look at. If you have a good tour guide, you may get to have some of the really nasty architectural mistakes pointed out to you.
