I stayed here while in San Jose for the US Figure Skating Championship. The hotel left me with an impersonal feeling although the front office staff were friendly. The room decor had a modern, minimalist, masculine feel and did not feel warm or cozy for relaxing. I don't expect nor want frills and fuss, but It seemed designed more for businessmen wanting work space than women given its lack of mirror space, lighting, and decor. The door to the room may be built for fire safety but required some strength to push open. The bathroom was good sized and had a make-up mirror tho the shower was difficult to operate. The bed was comfortable, but the one sitting chair was ultra modern and quite low. Housekeeping on the surface seemed okay but there were some hairs on one of the bathroom walls. However, I found it disconcerting that on the floor's waiting area for the elevator there was what appeared to be a disposable hot cup sitting on a table in the same place for several days.
The lobby area also had an ultra modern cool feel due to flooring and decor. There were bowls of apples at the registration desk and a computer area off the lobby for guests to use free of charge. The sole small restaurant is in the lobby area and seems like a coffeeshop with a bar. The offerings are quite basic, however the grilled vegetable sandwich that I had was loaded with a delicious array of veggies.
