    A nice place to stay but don't walk around the neighbourhood.

    The neighbourhood was a bit dodgy and upon check in I felt like we were being scrutinised. Understandably so because I feel this neighbourhood is one of the worst in crime in the San Jose area. I was a bit surprised when I was asked why we booked at a third party site instead of directly with the property or with IHG, I did respond that it was simply a matter of price. Then they went into a spiel about points and how valuable they are and everything they can do for you to which I responded I've rarely received anything nice using hotel points; however I do appreciate having status just because of my overall stays so I'm treated like a frequent guest which I am. If that situation were to change I would probably not stay at IHG any longer.

    The bed was comfortable and everything worked in the room it was also quiet which was nice. We really enjoyed the breakfast because I absolutely hate sausage but I love bacon and my partner is the opposite. It was nice to have both selections at breakfast so we could both have breakfast meet. The person running the breakfast buffet was delightful and extremely diligent.

    THE SHUTTLE SERVICE. YOU CONTRACT OUT WITH JOY AND THEN DRIVER WAS VERY THREATENING AND CURT. IT WAS SCARY. WE SHUTTLED TO THE HOTEL, BUT TOOK AN UBER TO THE AIRPORT. THIS MAN SHOULD BE FIRED.

    The room was clean. What I lacked was a wall mirror to apply make up. Missed that greatly. Had a cocktail at the bar with family and the bartender was very nice.

    I got in the hotel, and they said I was not booked there. They could not find my reservation. I was told to go to another Holiday Inn in San Jose. I got to the other Holiday Inn, and the clerk told me that I was not booked there and that I was not the first person that day with that problem. When I got back to the hotel, they said that the booking had just arrived. While waiting for the room in the lounge, there was a party extremely noisy. After a long flight and all the trouble of going up and down in San Jose, I was exposed to a session of torture!

    Good instalations.

    Only drawback was I asked for a 4:15 AM wake up call to catch my flight. The person receiving the call repeated it back to me. Of course I set my own alarm as well. I had only been asleep for about two hours when the wake up call arrived at 1:15 AM. Then it took me a while to fall back to sleep. So I ended up with only about five hours of sleep before my flight. And of course at 4:15 I called and come through.

    That the third party rate that I was offered was not reflected in your computer.

    The concierge helped us because I had a different rate than what was on your computer.

    Hallways appear to be a bit dated but the rest of the hotel certainly is not.

    Room was large and the bed very comfortable. All staff were very kind and helpful. Onsite restaurant/bar is also a nice amenity as well as the 24 hr self checkout market that had a variety of necessities, snacks, beer & wine available for purchase. Would stay again if in the area!
