The Domain Hotel
Staff was super friendly and they really went above and beyond. Great job. Room was nice. Bed was supposed to be a queen, but I’m pretty sure it was a full size. My husband and I really struggled to fit.

Hampton Inn & Suites San Jose Airport
Clean rooms, comfortable beds. Didn’t love the barn door on the closet/bathroom. No privacy. Fridge wasn’t cold. Staff was professional in appearance and with their service. Would probably stay again.
