Naomi, Jan 2025
Pros (+) Perfect little enclave in the middle of the city. I love a smaller hotel and this was perfect! Surround by beautiful greenery, this updated chic motel had everything you need - comfortable rooms, plenty of outdoor seating, a pool and great coffee and food spots close by (Love Jo's). And despite being in the middle of the city, it was quiet.
Cons (-) Only thing that bugged us was that the cleaning rolling carts were parked outside out door the entire stay.

Kim, Dec 2024
Pros (+) Wonderful Austin location. Lots to do within short walk. Real cute design and landscaping.
Cons (-) We’ve stayed at the Hotel San Jose a number of times over the years. This was our first time back in about 10 years. The property is now showing its age and could stand a major refreshening. Room HVAC was very noisy and hot air came down right on the bed (Room #26). Situation was uncomfortable enough that we will not be returning.

Pros (+) Very calm and relaxed environment. Nice rooms and very nice hotel facilties. Very relaxing even though it is just off a very busy street in Austin. Extremely nice location in a great part of Austin wiyth lots of nice shops and restaurants.
Cons (-) - The bushes around the pool area and at the entrance of the rooms are full of nasty mosquitos. Within a few minutes I had severe bites that lasted for almost a week. Not sure which kind of mosquitos these were! - At the pool area some other guests had glasses and wine bottles and/or other alcohol even during the day, even though children were around. The hotel did not enforce their own policy of ...

Pros (+) I loved the aesthetic and style of the facilities as well as the rooms.
Cons (-) Our room did not have curtains so the sunlight woke us up in the morning even with the blinds closed. There was also an interesting musky smell in our room. However, our room was built in the 1930s so that was somewhat expected.
