Everything was fine except the parking. A limited number of narrow spaces made the 7 drivers who took up 2 spaces that much worse. Management did not seem to care.

The room was incredibly clean with ample seating, a desk, lots of storage space, and a good-sized TV. Large bed, affordable price. Host was incredibly friendly despite having recently gone through a personal tragedy. I was pleasantly surprised to see that a microwave and fridge were provided, too! Combo bath-shower with a curtain, very clean with good water pressure, easy-to-use knobs. This is a steal at the given price point. And the proximity to Academic Coffee is *chef's kiss*

Generous place to stay

The manager was friendly and humorous. Stayed here for Fanime Convention, which was only 2 blocks away from the convention center. The manager was very generous enough to let me leave my car in the parking lot after the check-out, so I was able to finish attending Fanime. I would recommend this place to those who would like to attend Fanime via driving, since nearby hotel will likely to be a hassle to go in and out.

This was a great value for downtown San Jose, with parking included. It’s next door to a great coffee place, an easy walk to good restaurants, a block away from nightlife and easy access to the freeway and airport. I would definitely stay here again.
