The staff was very helpful and friendly. The place is not fancy, being an old building, but full of character and charm. We very much enjoyed our stay. The breakfasts were delicious and the restaurant across the street was great for suppers.
Staff pleasant, nice and quiet, good location. AC worked fine though I did not need it,shower with warm water.Whenever I needed a repair light or batteries maintenance fixed it prompyly. I hope they can find an owner for the small dining area and the bar/restaurant.
Dunn Inn is a beautiful place to stay with many fun activities and restaurants within walking distance. When I go back to San Jose I will be booking with them again.
Right across the street from a casino, had some food options near.. the bed was comfy however the room was small not enough space for 3 people but I made it happen. I recommend the hotel and would stay there again.
Noise. We couldn’t sleep due to an engine running all night on top of the hotel ceiling. It was like a generator.
There is not restaurant available at the hotel. When asking for dinners options they recommended places outside the hotel. There is a Casino in front of the hotel 24/7 open with lots of nighttime.
Parking is 2 blocks away

The restaurant was under renovation which was part of the reason we booked this hotel. Now we must make accommodations for dinner and breakfast. The neighborhood has lines of prostitutes.
This hotel is very charming. It's in walking distance to several historical sites. The staff is very friendly and accomodating of needs. The breakfast is basic but good. Rooms are big and the area is quiet. The only negative is that there aren't a lot of places to eat nearby for a quick bite. Overall good and safe area to stay.
