Top hotels in Castro
Spark by Hilton San Jose Airport
This place is ghetto. Very dark and had a bunch of people hanging out in parking and someone living in a RV in the parking lot. Would never stay again.

Hotel was nice the only problem was you have to pay for parking but it comes out of a deposit and breakfast wasn't free it could also be charged to your room from your deposit.
