First the pros: management very nice and very responsive; the small kitchen was nice to have and the room was relatively new. The above pros are far outweighed by the cons: the room is supposed to sleep 3 but only sleeps 1 comfortably. No linens at all were in the room for the futon the 1st night. They arrived promptly the next day upon my request but the futon was hard as a rock and lumpy so my college aged son and I both had to sleep in the double bed. The small double bed had a TWIN sized mattress pad on it, which resulted in ridges on both sides of the bed. This is ridiculous for $260 a night. The breakfast area has no AC, the neighborhood is sketchy and the “breakfast” is minimal at best. There is rarely anyone around during the day and the person who was there didn’t speak English. She knocked on our door and woke us up before checkout time, wasn’t very friendly and seemed put out when we asked to leave our luggage there for a little while. (Fortunately my poor Spanish was enough to communicate this.) There wasn’t a closet or anything so we just had to leave it out in the open in the back of the breakfast area. Finally, the link to Google Maps on their hotels.com listing is incorrect- we were driving around late at night looking in the wrong place for it. I travel extensively worldwide and I have definitely stayed in worse places but NOT for the price paid for this hotel. I know SJ is expensive but there is almost no value for money here.
