What Our Guests Say





The only thing I would ask the place to address is the issue of insects. There were a lot of ants in the room, but that's understandable since it's in a garden; even so, I give it 5 stars.
I will definitely return. ⭐️🥭




The garden is gorgeous and so relaxing, a peaceful tropical oasis with birds singing and fish swimming in the ponds, even turtles sunning themselves. I mean, turtles. Yeah.
Rooms are clean and comfortable with comfy beds, and there is a lot of common space with outdoor dining areas, BBQ, a big living room with TV, dining area, gym/workout space, and a full shared kitchen.
Staff were incredibly kind and helpful about moving my reservation last minute, twice, and free of charge when there was a crazy snowstorm in the US that kept delaying my flights.
Will be recommending this place to my friends and family as the #1 place to stay in San Jose.

this is not a luxury resort spot, it serves its purpose, Maria and the other staff members were very helpful and accommodating. The Moose restaurant suggested by Maria was very good (small) used the place for breakfast, order the espresso, their regular coffee is on the weak side.
