The property was beautiful and clean. The only downfall was the lack of air conditioning. We did not think to ask if they had air conditioning because we took it for granted that they had air. We’ve never been anywhere without air conditioning. The other downfall was the shower. It was horrible. There was no pressure at all. It took you a good hour to rinse off.

The manager was going to upgrade us to another room, but it was too far for me to walk with my sciatica. The hotel property was beautiful with a lovely view overlooking San Jose. Nice pool and landscaping! Delicious food for dinner and breakfast and reasonably priced.
