Pros

Indoor pool and hot tub operate year-round

Multilingual staff and concierge service available

All rooms feature kitchenette amenities (refrigerator and microwave)

ADA-compliant facilities with roll-in showers and accessible routes

Cons

34 miles distance from Mineta San Jose International Airport

Limited on-site dining options

“The hotel's family-friendly setup, with some rooms offering separate spaces for kids, is a definite plus despite potential noise issues; proximity to the pier and a private park enhance its appeal. While renovations are underway to improve some aspects, the staff's friendliness and the available amenities like a fridge, microwave, and pool make it a reasonable choice. For those prioritizing budget and space, it presents a workable option.”
