We were picked up at the airport by Alonso in his yellow Land Rover. He took us to the location which turned out to be different than was decribed on website.

A few blocks down the hill is the best western paradise and a bus line. Okay location if you want to live like a local. This place is more like a B&B. Nice view of san jose from upstairs bedroom window.

Great place if you're looking for a beautiful view and a nice and cozy set up. On the outskirts of town, but one block away from the bus stop. Great staff.
