“This hotel places you directly amid San Jose's cultural heart. The rooftop dining indeed seems special, and the blend of eco-consciousness with pet-friendly policies feels like a thoughtful touch for a downtown property. From what I gather, you can expect clean, comfortable rooms alongside an exceptional breakfast offering.”
