Hayes Mansion, San Jose - Curio Collection by Hilton
I love that the Hayes mansion is so close to everything you need to get to in the Bay Area. The breakfast is delicious and the pool is very enjoyable. Perfect for laying out in the sun. Stuff is delightful, and I love the history behind this mansion!

Dream Inn Santa Cruz
We were allowed to check in early since our room was ready. The staff were very considerate. Kids enjoyed the stream near the shore. There were a lot of shower areas where you could wash your feet before you go back to your room. The location was perfect, walking distance to the braodway.

Hyatt Place San Jose Airport
Check in was terrible staff was rude. Made me wait to check in at 2am after all day of extended medical work while she talked on the phone for 5 mins. Then gave me a double room even though I booked and paid for king. Said to bad kings are first come first serve regardless of what you book.
