We stayed at this resort for two nights when we landed in San Jose at the beginning of the trip and again for a couple of nights at the end of our trip before we flew out. The hotel has a nice pool and the lobby area is nice. The rooms are standard - not very modern. It is not walkable to downtown - we had a car and drove there, it was not far. Overall would recommend.

Loved the lounge with the premium level access. Key cards lost access periodically (daily). Safe was locked out by itself. The Christmas buffet dinner sucked for $25 pp. Breakfast is okay. The pool, jacuzzi, and the saunas are nice.

This property is only about two miles from downtown San Jose but is quiet, with a nice lobby, excellent amenities including a large landscaped pool, health room with workout equipment, jacuzzis, steam and sauna, outdoor tennis courts and secure parking. An urban oasis.
