It was good overall, the room and property condition slightly exceed expectations for the price; parking is extra and there’s not much amenity or places to go in the area

Sonesta Select San Jose Airport
Did not appreciate body wash in shower. Hate the smell of Lavender. Also I asked for a 03:00 wake up call for March 26th. Did not happen. I woke myself up d/t a bad dream or I would have missed my early morning flight.
