Please see my picture. I checked out at 530am this morning and found this creature in the lobby. I know that they lady working the front desk saw it and may have thrown it outside. When i walked outside the lobby i took these pictures because i didnt think anyone would believe me. I wont be back. Ive not asked for anything from the hotel and dont want anything. Guests be aware!

It was 100 degrees that day. The AC in the room was off when I arrived. I immediately turned on the AC (wall unit). The air that was blowing out was cool, not cold. Terrible night sleep in a room that was probably over 80 degrees. I don't recommend staying during hot weather.

Reasonable

Upon arrival, William was kind, polite and welcoming, he informed me about the wife, where breakfast is etc. Thank you, other employees, were not really welcoming, however, one breakfast lady, was sweet, she was a little older and was very nice. She said good morning, and smiled at everyone, it was nice. overall, it was a great experience.

Convenient hotel close to SJC with outdated AC

The location is great, close to San Jose Airport. The staff are cordial. The rooms seem new and clean. However, the AC is too outdated with too much noise, none of my family members could get a good night sleep. The biggest complaint from us is that we didn't get the room we reserved and paid for through Hotels.com. We pre-paid King bed rooms because we wanted a bigger space for our baby with us, but we were given queen beds rooms at check-in. Front desk told us this was the issue with Hotels.com reservation and they didn't have any spare king bed room for us. We don't really know whether Hotels.com or Holiday Inn messed up with our reservation, but the reservation confirmation from Hotels.com did say king bed rooms.
