5/5 Excellent

"Staff are all kind gracious and helpful. "

Holiday Inn San Jose - Silicon Valley by IHG

5/5 Excellent

"As far as value for money this is a terrific place to stay. In fact it was a step above. The rooms were quite large, comfortable and clean. The amenities were good, with a nice pool and fitness center. The restaurant served very nice food and the breakfast was excellent. There was a convenient, small 24hr self service shop. If there is one thing that didn’t meet standards it was the awful quality of the toilet paper. Bring your own!! Otherwise everything was great. "
