Good Customer Service Helped the Rating
I looked at majority of the reviews of this place and the reviews seemed great especially when it related to cleanliness and solo traveling. Maybe I’m not a hostel stay kind of person and that’s probably why my experience was OK. They are very hospitable and they make sure that the customer is happy. Cleanliness - I had a lot of hair in the sheets and the bathrooms were also small and disgusting. They had different offers based on where you submit your reservation which is not good communication once it was time to check in.

Great deal
Staff was very friendly and helpful. There are only 3-4 parking spots, which have to be requested/reserved ahead of time. The water in our room was cold. Great deal for the price we paid.

Not what I asked for
I reserved a private, double room and was given a dorm room right off the main lobby. I asked for something quiet and was told this room would be--it wasn't. Quiet hours from 11 pm- 8 am are observed but I had a medical procedure that required rest in the afternoon. This was impossible.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Pretty noisy (traffic + very thin ceiling so you can hear everything from upstairs neighbors). Hot water does not work at night so you cannot take a hot shower if you arrive late and depart early--and San José can be pretty cold)
