Hilton Garden Inn San Jose Airport City Mall
The nightlight by the bed had these tiny switches that we couldn’t find for a while which was very frustrating. Otherwise the room was very clean, staff very helpful and friendly, breakfast buffet was abundant with various fresh fruits, baked goods and prepared eggs, rice, sausage, and potatoes.
