"My preferred place to stay in San Jose (have probably stayed here at least 20 times, and I have stayed at many places in town so I have a fair idea of what's "normal" here even for the high-end hotels). Large and clean rooms, great location and staff. Only downside is there is no restaurant/bar in the hotel, rather in the separate casino which is a bit sleazy for my tastes. But there are decent restaurants within a short walk."

Hotel Presidente

Hotel Presidente

10/10 Excellent
"While most of San Jose looks a little seedy the hotel was a beautiful hotel. pull right in and the valet will take care of the rest. Highly recommend the restaurant on the rooftop (no driving required!) The rooms were spacious, the bathrooms immaculate and the staff was so helpful and kind! 100% recommend this hotel. stop by the soda down the street walking for breakfast, gorgeous pastries and very affordable."
