Hotel San Jose is simply top notch with the best, most relaxing/peaceful vibes. The hotels meticulous curation speaks volumes for its care and detail. Clean rooms and terrific staff. Could not recommend more!

Beautiful space! The room and property. The front room to the road is very loud. I tried to shower twice during our stay and there was no hot water. Like not even 2 minutes worth. That was disappointing. The location is great

Room was spotless. Staff was courteous. What stood out- the grounds are gorgeous. They left water in a cute carafe and nuts on coffee table after cleaning. What didn’t stand out- hot water in shower only lasted 2 minutes or so. But that’s okay, gave me enough time to wash my body.
Nice, friendly staff and fellow guests.
Vibrant area with shopping, food and proximity to parks and other attractions.
Busy street but quiet rooms, pool lounge was great for evenings.
The staff were friendly and helpful overall. Liked the text line, which made interactions with the hotel very easy. Disappointing food compared to what the hotel used to have. In particular, the lack of coffee maker in the room and limited healthy food options was disappointing.
perfect Austin vibes at Hotel San Jose; the property has been around for decades and was originally a motor court but has been enclosed--we loved the historic yet modern feel. The location on South Congress had great walkability; they had great coffee available in the lobby and we enjoyed sitting around the small pool in the afternoon
