Excelente! Nos gustó mucho la ubicación, desayuno y la habitación estuvo muy cómoda, solo la recepcionista no fue muy cordial con nosotros cuando llegamos ya que tenía una reunión a las 2pm y le pedimos que si por favor me podía hacer el check in 10 minutos antes para adelantar, y ella no accedió, solo ignoró la solicitud, pero otro muchacho muy amablemente empezó a gestionarlo.

The key didn't worked two times, meaning that they usually have issues with the configuration of the room keys. They offered a discount voucher for Dennys but when I asked for it they said they've run out of discounts. In general a good place to stay and very convenient that the restaurant Dennys is open 24 hrs

As soon as i walked in the room there was a strong mildew smell. The AC didnt work and the pillows were horrible. The room was quite dated, but i only stayed for one night, so i got through it.

Website misleading
I did not realize until the check in day that i booked the wrong holiday Inn. By the description, i thought i booked the one close to the airport since it had an airport shuttle available. We needed to be close to the airport due to an early flight (6am). So i rebooked at the holiday In Express, which is the one i really wanted. was not able to cancel and get a refund. Since it was the day of checkin. So i lost the $585 in fees.also, i didnt realize how difficult it was to get around San Jose so it would’ve take. Is 40 minutes to get to the airport.

Nice Hotel
The exception was at the Breakfast restaurant., the personnel at the lobby asked us if we had any allergies at our arrival, and we told them about gluten and dairy, however the restaurant on the next day knew about the request, but didn't prepare for it... disappointing
