We enjoyed 3 @ 5 night stays during June 26 while visiting family and taking in World Cup games at Levi Stadium and San Pedro Square Fanzone. The hotel is excellent, great staff who are always helpful. Well appointed rooms and a good breakfast. Great location especially if you want to use the VTA or Caltrain and a short distance by Lyft / Uber from SJC. We stayed at the hotel in 2025 and I’m sure we will return in 2027.
