Beautiful spot just outside of San Jose so we could feel like we were already on vacation after our plane landed late. The pool is beautiful, breakfast was great, staff was so helpful- ordered delivery food for us after most places were closed because we were so hungry after long travels. We went to the wildlife center across the street the next day after checking out, before heading on our way. It was really nice and a perfect way to start vacation.
