favorite hotel in DT SJ!
Pros:

Front desk staff, valet, housekeeping, and restaurant staff are great! Shoutout to Jerome, as he was my server in the restaurant bar. He did an amazing job attending my group of about 10 people before a concert. The bartender, Jairo, makes amazing drinks!

Cons:

The beds are standard, not super comfortable. But the room size is bigger than most hotel rooms and you have an extra area next to the restroom to get ready.

DO NOT STAY HERE
Pros:

Genuinely one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had. I was there less than 24 hours yet somehow multiple things went wrong. Broken AC and a toilet that didn’t flush in my first room. Then they moved me to the second room where the AC also didn’t work. The maintenance tech (great guy) came and sort of fixed the second room’s AC problem, but it seemed like a short term fix and the problem will still exist for whoever uses the room after. To top it all off, I was charged $105 for the hotel bar even though I never used it. Unbelievable. Horrible hotel - DO NOT STAY HERE.

Cable and tv issue
Pros:

Amon (I believe is the spelling ,maintenance) came within 5 minutes to fix our cable. Professional work, etiquette, and customer service was second to none that fixed our issue. Highly recommend him on customer facing basis when it comes to interacting with guests and their needs!

Poor Customer Service by Front Desk
Pros:

I just came back from what I thought was a great weekend at FanimeCon, only to discover a frustrating surprise on my hotel bill afterward.

As a Hilton Honors member, one of the reasons I choose Hilton properties is for the daily food & beverage credit. At check-in, the front desk confirmed there would be a $15 per person, per night credit. I was visibly checking in with my family — my wife was right behind me and I was literally carrying our child — yet somehow only one guest was counted for the benefit.

I specifically asked how and where the credits could be used, and we intentionally used the hotel restaurants during our stay. Later, I found out that two of the days were not credited because the orders were categorized as “in-room dining,” despite being ordered directly from the hotel restaurant. None of this was explained at check-in.

On top of that, Hilton Honors members are supposed to receive complimentary WiFi. Because the room was booked through the FanimeCon block, there was apparently a separate promotional code required. After the first night, our WiFi stopped working entirely. One of our guests was visiting from out of the country and ended up using most of their mobile data because the normal sign-in process (last name and room number) no longer worked. I eventually had to go back to the front desk to ask for the separate code we were supposedly already given.

Mistakes happen. What bothered me most was how the situation was handled afterward. When I contacted the hotel, the front desk employee insisted that all of this had supposedly been explained during check-in and implied that I either forgot or misunderstood. That’s simply not true.

If a second guest name was required for the dining credits, why wasn’t that clearly requested when my family was visibly present at check-in? If a special WiFi code was required, why wasn’t it proactively provided?

What’s especially frustrating is that none of these issues should have required this much effort to resolve. Instead of simply acknowledging the mistakes and correcting them professionally, I was left having to sort through billing discrepancies after the trip and being told that the problems had supposedly already been explained to me. That turned what should have been a very enjoyable stay into an unnecessarily aggravating experience.

It’s disappointing because the stay itself was otherwise enjoyable, but the combination of poor communication, incorrect billing, and then being made to feel like the issue was somehow my fault completely soured the experience.
