This is such a special place! Great staff, amazing location, superb architecture. They are tidying up the rooms and they look great. Same classic style and colors. The waterfall paths are in great shape again. Nothing like it in San Jose... The only thing they need is better power near the beds. Travellers have a lot of electrical devices these days....

It’s a nice place to start or end your trip. Easy to get to the airport. The property has nice trails you can walk and a swimming pool with views of the valley. A few areas for improvement: the rooms are looking a bit dated, we had dirty/stained towel and pillows which was quite off-putting. The rooms are noisy as there is no air conditioning so instead the room has windows for air flow. This works fine for cooling but it does mean you can hear the planes very loudly.

We arrived the hotel at night thru a dark winding road only to realize the hotel had no power. The rooms are pitch black. We had to use our phones to . The water ran cold soon after my wife took a shower. Also we booked a king room and was given a two queens. The hotel offered no explanation. The rooms have no ac and are noisy during windy weather and the location is right under the flight path of San Jose air traffic. It’s very loud when the jets pass by. This is the worst hotel we stayed during our trip.
