The room was clean and had all the very minimal basics in place. It's strange because there were some nice upgrades that almost made it feel like a higher quality tier hotel, like the big fancy sink and mirror, and the nice shower tiling. But then there were little things missing that made it inconvenient and uncomfortable. There is no kind of shelving or rack in the shower, not even outside the shower, so you have to put soap and shampoo on the floor of the shower. There is no shelving at all in the bathroom and not even a dispenser to hold the toilet paper, so the roll just sits on top of the toilet tank. The towels provided were just two, and they were very small. No washcloths, no other towels at all. And the shampoo provided was in single use paper packets. The light inside the toilet area is automatic, and you can't change this, so if you get up to use the toilet in the middle of the night, you get blasted with light whether you want or not (I prefer to leave the light off or have a very low night light because all that light makes it hard to go back to sleep). And the lighting in the rest of the room, aside from the nice sink/vanity mirror, is that typical ugly hard cold LED lighting that makes everything feel like a laboratory instead of a warm comfortable room to sleep and stay in. I will never understand why people use that lighting, especially in hotels, when soft and warm LED bulbs are just as really available.

In regards to the level of customer service, this place is equivalent to the Riz Carlton!! I know its a budget hotel, but they were extremely accommodating as i flew in for the night for my cousins funeral on short notice. It was affordable, exceptionally clean, quiet, close to shops and restaurants, but i cannot stress enough the friendliness of the staff and management. They held my bahgs after my checkout so i could attend my cousins funeral. The manager is incredibly friendly and i cant tell you how much weight a simple smile carries when youve been traveling all day or after attending an emotional service. I will only stay here next time i come to San Jose!!!

The TV didn't work and the phone wasn't connected when I tried to call down to the office. Everything else was okay for the price, but it is a bit noisy since it's right off a big street.
