what title

overall the hotel stay was pleasant. Would have been nice if they could offer at least 1 cup of cofee or have the availlabity of purchasing a cup nearby or to have a coffee maker at the customers's disposal. ofcourse, they had the coffe for purchase. I felt after paying a good sum for the stay alone, the customer should n't have to buy the K-cup to make a cup of cofee if they want. thank you

excellent service

This is a nice hotel that comes at a great price. I was very comfortable in this well decorated modern boutique hotel and the service was excellent. Just minutes from Santana Row and a shopping mall. I will definitely stay here in the future when I need to come back to this area.

San Jose's best kept secret

What a great hotel! This hotel is San Jose's best kept secret. Great location. Thanks to Matthew at the front desk who gave us a back way to get to the airport, very close. The hotel is well appointed and has really great amenities. Adrain who checked us in was great. Great breakfast in the morning in a nice room that overlooked the pool. Clean, quiet. I would say it is one of my favorite hotels I have stayed in.

Not a 4 stars hotel!

Tried to believe it is 4 stars hotel but it is not! Doesn't feel that warm welcome like I used to get at other 4 stars hotels.

Super Comfy Bed

My gf and I rarely have great nights of sleep when sharing a bed but the bed at the Moorpark was splendid. The sheets were very nice and felt good and the bed itself was quite firm. All in all I slept the whole night and so did she. Also, we adjusted the temperature in the room and there was no noisy unit kicking on and off the whole night that we noticed.

Surprise luxury at bargain price

It was great - front desk staff were very helpful- called to ensure we liked the room shortly after we checked in, We were only there for one night, but enjoyed it very much. Welcoming lobby, nice bed, clean room. Nice 'mini bar' snacks from which to choose, bathroom well appointed. We took a card to remember the place - and would recommend.
