Pros: Price, location all excellent. Quality of room compared to advertisement photo accurately.
Cons: Some street noise, perhaps remodel which was good could have installed sound reducing windows. I was ok however I live with people who would have been annoyed. Outside of room, facility was a bit plain; however, much cheaper than other hotels in area. In my opinion you're getting a champagne light room in a beer facility on a beer budget.

Pros: I liked that they had a mini fridge, coffee maker, and microwave. They cleaned the room nicely every day and the bed was comfortable for short term stays. The shower was great as well. Plenty of space for folded clothes and the TV was nice. I met 3 staff members and every one of them went above and beyond.
Cons: I didn't like that they refilled our coffee with two decaf and one regular package every day. We ended up not using it because both of us couldn't drink a cup of regular. I didn't like that the towels smelled clean but weird, like they just came straight from the manufacturer. I also could have used cleaner carpets and a sink that would drain. The sliding door on the bathroom probably saved space but the lock didn't work.

Pros: The bathrooms were well furnished... Better than the actual rooms. The staff was very friendly.
Cons: True price I paid was not worth the room. It was a very crampt room with ancient furniture. The rooms were a boring shade of beige and our window view was another building being constructed. It's layout seemed more that of a comfort inn with a price tag of 90 dollars a night rather than 150. It's not worth the price, if you have a car go to a comfort inn and save some money cause got the same experience.

Pros: Updated rooms with a cool Art Deco feel. Restaurant was good. Beds and bathrooms were nice and comfortable. High quality nest bath soaps that smelled great.
Cons: Breakfast was awful. Poor selection for a “buffet” they need to call it a continental breakfast which is what it is. The breakfast staff was inattentive and I had to go into the staff cubby to dig for cutlery and a napkin. Also, they wouldn’t accommodate a late checkout but did give me an extra 30 Minutes until 1230 however they clearly didn’t communicate with each other because the cleaning crew knocked aggressively twice and the front desk called twice to ask why I hadn’t left. I was only in the hotel for about 15 hours yet I was left with a pretty bad taste in my mouth and did not fee welcome there.

Pros: Great room overall, clean hotel in excellent location. Close to shops, food, and activities. Great service and friendly staff. Convenient parking (though it costs extra even without valet) garage connected to the hotel. Only a block away from Original Joe's. Despite a few quirks, I would stay here again.
Cons: Charge for WiFi (unless you are an Elite member), ridiculous prices for snack shop food and goods ($5 for a Dairy Milk candy bar, $6 for an Odwalla Smoothie!), $45 for a t-shirt! Also, the hotel smells like the air freshener they pipe in at many of the Las Vegas hotels (could be a plus if you like that). Also, the choice of "aromatherapy" soaps are awful--why not go the clean, fresh scent of soap instead of burned wood?
Excellent

Pros: Top notch hotel. Clean, newly remodeled, all amenities & on site restaurants etc

9.0
Pros: I really Liked its location, we were attending a event at the convention center and the hotel is actually leads into the convention center. That was great! We didn't have to walk at all. All staff members were extremely nice and willing to offer any help that they could offer. The hotel was very busy due to the event, but the staff still dealt with customers in a very polite and friendly manner. I also wanted to say thank you to this hotel for not treating us any different than there other guest, we have been to other hotels and due to our ethnic background have been treated like we were some how less. This hotel did an excellent job treating everybody well and respectively Thank you so much!
Cons: Some of the things that we weren't so pleased with that room service had certain hours and that it wasn't 24 hours and that the rooms were a little smaller than what we excepted. But overall we had a great experience
Excellent

Cons: The valet service was overwhelmed since the hotel had no self park option. Plus, the valet was serving guests who weren't even staying at the hotel but attending a concert or conference in the area. It's a bit ridiculous that it takes 20 minutes to drop off a car with valet and another 20 minutes to pick it up.

Pros: The room was clean and well appointed. It had all the facilities of a modern hotel - flat screen, coffee maker, nice bathroom, etc. The staff were friendly and helpful and very willing to accommodate requests.
Cons: There are several drawbacks to this place: - it's right by the light rail tracks which turn a corne around 2 sides of the hotel. And there are 2 stops. So it is noisy. It stops about midnight and starts early morning so bring earplugs or expect to be woken up. Or both. - the walls are thin so even if the train doesn't wake you the neighbors will! - the hotel is quite expensive -- it's average for the area but then they slug you with a $25 per night parking fee which makes it expensive.

When I got to the front desk to check in, he remembered my name. Gave us free waters, asked me about my day, why I was there. Said I went hiking that day and gave recommendations for other hiking spots. Was very pleasant. Was refreshing actually such nice people and great service. Maids in the hall were very nice with smiles. Coffee downstairs was great. I will definitely be back if I am in San jose.

Pros: The room was clean. The bed was very comfortable. The location was ideal. There are lots of restaurants and activity in the neighborhood, which was fun. The staff was very accommodating, which was appreciated.
Cons: We added another day and the hotel took it as an opportunity to bill us almost double for it, using "the price depends of availability", although it was clear that the hotel was far from full. That was not a good feeling. Also, the restaurant had really inconvenient hours, closing the bar at 11:00 and closing at 10:00 for breakfast. I get that the expense may be too hight to be full service 24/7, but keeping a light bar menu and the bar open for people to come in any time and get something to eat and a drink would be a big plus.

My room also looked straight across into another guests room giving you no privacy. Also $23 a night for uncovered self parking is a lot. The room was extremely small.

Trash was overflown and just can't believe this happened at the Hyatt hotel. I would never come back here again.
