The hotel provides a unique experience that's perfect for singles looking to enjoy a lively atmosphere. The rooms are a bit dated but comfortable enough for a short stay. The location is interesting, but be cautious of street hustlers. While the amenities are basic, the dining experience is decent, albeit on the pricier side. Overall, it's a fun place for guys, but definitely not suitable for families or couples.

Staying at this hotel was quite an experience! It's located in the heart of downtown San Jose, which makes it really vibrant. The rooms definitely show their age with outdated carpets and beds that could be comfier, but they were clean. The atmosphere is lively, especially if you're looking to socialize. However, it does come with some downsides, like aggressive sales pitches from people outside and high fees for bringing guests to your room.

My stay at this hotel was a mix of pros and cons. The rooms were clean but had outdated air conditioning that varied in performance. The location felt a bit sketchy, with activities and people just hanging out nearby, but the unique layout of the hotel and fun bar were bright spots. Overall, it might not be ideal for everyone, but it's worth considering for a short stay.

This hotel is a solid choice for single travelers looking for a lively atmosphere. The vibe here is energetic, and the bar scene is quite entertaining. However, the location can feel a bit sketchy, and don't expect top-notch service from the staff. Overall, great for a night or two, but it might not be the best long-term stay.

The location is central, making it easy to explore. On the downside, the parking situation can be tricky to navigate and the area outside can feel a little sketchy at times.
