Pros
Within 1.5 miles of multiple cultural venues including Petroglyph and Japanese Friendship Garden
Walking distance to diverse dining options in the SoFA District
Proximity to the Los Gatos Creek Trail offering 14 miles of paths for outdoor activities
Located in an area with 300 days of annual sunshine
Cons
6 miles distance from the airport may require additional travel planning
Limited on-site amenities compared to larger chain hotels
“This family-owned boutique inn provides a personalized touch that you just don't find at larger establishments; its proximity to San Jose's key venues, like the Convention Center and SAP Center, is a definite advantage. I appreciate the practical perks such as free parking and Wi-Fi, plus in-room conveniences like microwaves and refrigerators, but I think a refresh could definitely elevate the experience. It's a solid choice for budget-conscious travelers who value individualized service in a prime location.”
