Patricia, Feb 2023
The front of the house staff was very accommodating and friendly The facility is lovely. Rooms were quiet but only opened to a courtyard. The food is good but the service was lacking. No one ever came round to see if we were satisfied with everything and no coffee refill was offered at breakfast Last but not least, what I found most problematic for a Hilton was the very uncomfortable bed!

Pros (+) Awesome location, right in the heart of San Jose. Walking distance to the major downtown sights, like the theatres, cathedrals, and markets. The restaurant is great, and the lobby is well kept.
Cons (-) Rooms are run down, and not in the best condition. We had to change rooms because of bugs in the first. AC would have been nice.
