The San Jose Hotel is in a convenient area of town, with free parking and stylish vintage decor. Staff are very welcoming, and the full bar with an outdoor poolside lounge is really nice for relaxing with a friend or group.There's also a cute outdoor coffee shop on the property, but I didn't have the opportunity to use it (closed the evening before Thanksgiving). Basic rooms are pretty small, but overall designed efficiently and fit the theme. Hotels with character are my preference over big corporate chains, and I'd stay here again when visiting Austin.

The staff were friendly and helpful overall. Liked the text line, which made interactions with the hotel very easy. Disappointing food compared to what the hotel used to have. In particular, the lack of coffee maker in the room and limited healthy food options was disappointing.
