Sonesta Select San Jose Airport

8/10 Good

"the room seemed clean, although there was a funny smell. The staff was very helpful, and definitely the highlight! There was some commotion with some guests, which seemed to get resolved, but was a little unsettling. I left too early to comment on breakfast. Basically, it totally worked as comfortable overnight before my early morning flight. The shuttle was a great support for that."
