Homewood Suites By Hilton Cariari San Jose

8/10 Good
"Andres, the front desk agent, was pleasant, friendly and gave a warm welcome. The room was clean, spacious, had all the needed amenities. The rooms had good noise control and I enjoyed quiet restful periods Bed was comfortable and sheets smelled clean The pool had debris on the surface but it was windy. Would have liked to see it being removed occasionally. Breakfast was good and had a few options. The staff were amazing The shuttle service was exceptional and the drivers helpful. The gym had enough equipment for use while on vacation. A wide array of weights and a weight bench was all I needed. Overall a very pleasant experience and I would definitely choose them the next time"
