Home2 Suites by Hilton San Jose South

I stayed at this home2suites for a total of three nights from Friday to Monday. It is a new hotel and it's located a new development area. There's not much around. It is conveniently located off the freeway though. They have nice lounge chairs outside and gas fire pits. It's a nice cozy spot. Once I went inside the hotel, I was greeted by a worker, and I was able to check in. I went up to my room and it looked better than in the pictures. The room has a refrigerator microwave dishwasher and other goodies. I really liked that the TV has apps, including Netflix and a connection if you want to put your own HDMI cable. They have two desk areas inside the room as well, which is pretty convenient. The king bed was super comfy and my room also included a couch that had a pull out sofa bed. They have a pool outside and two grills if you want to get your grill along one of the grill is out of order though. Saturday morning I left pretty early around 7am. Before leaving, I got a quick breakfast in buffet area. The items that I seen included waffles bread biscuits, bagels. As far as a protein, they only had a chorizo sausage other things that I seen was oatmeal, hard boiled eggs, egg, and cheese omelette, and cereal. I returned back to my room around 11 PM and I noticed they did not come and clean the room. I stay at Hilton's regularly and notice anytime. I'm staying more than a few nights. They come and clean the room, but they didn't here. The following morning on Sunday around 10 o'clock the housekeeping person knocked on the door a few times I told her to come back in an hour as I will be out of the room by then. Not even three minutes later the same person who I had just told to come in an hour knocked on my door again I told them the same thing to come after an hour. Another thing to not is the room door is really thin by that I mean, I can hear all the noise that goes on in the hallway anytime somebody is walking by the sound comes in my room. It is Monday morning and almost time for checkout which is at 12:00. It is 1130 I'm finishing a last minute work assignment on my laptop and housekeeping is knocking on the door. I said still in here. 15 minutes later I get another knock. I say the same thing. I left the room at 1158am. As I'm leaving the room, a male housekeeping employee says checking out? I replied with " yeah " he goes into the room while I'm turning the corner into the elevator and I heard him say curse words in Spanish. He probably thought I didn't speak Spanish or something.

We stayed here for two nights as a kind of staycation, using it as a base to go to Gilroy Gardens. It was relatively clean and the staff were nice. But it was lacking in some ways. My pillowcase had a visible stain on it, for example, and the water pressure in the shower wasn't great, although not the worst I've experienced. On the first morning we went to breakfast an hour before it ended and there was no food left. People kept saying that they were going to replenish, but we couldn't wait that long and just bought some breakfast on the road. We didn't even attempt breakfast the second morning, but there was no hot water to get tea. In the room, it was hard to get cold water. (Weird, I know; it's usually the other way around.) So I put water in glasses and put the glasses in the fridge overnight. Where was it easy to get freezing cold water? The pool. It's not heated, so don't attempt if the weather isn't super, super hot. We were actually really, REALLY disappointed that there was no hot tub. It's one of the things we all look forward to in hotel stays. I was also surprised that I was not allowed to have a one-hour delayed check-out considering my hotel status. The toiletries provided were nice, and there was plenty of hot water--4 of us were able to shower back to back with no loss of hot water. It was nice to have a large fridge and kitchenette area, and the beds were comfy. We also didn't hear much noise from neighbors. Overall, I doubt we'd stay here again, if only because there's no hot tub and the pool isn't heated. But if you're just looking for a place to sleep and nothing else, it's absolutely fine.

Great stay Great safe location. Room is very big. Free breakfast was good. Very friendly staff.
