Homewood Suites By Hilton Cariari San Jose

Homewood Suites By Hilton Cariari San Jose

8/10 Good
"We had a wonderful experience at this hotel and would highly recommend it. We accidentally left our wedding rings in our room while we went on an excursion. When we returned, the room had been cleaned and, thankfully, our rings were exactly where we had left them. We are so grateful for the honesty, integrity, and professionalism of the housekeeping staff. Knowing that our valuable and sentimental belongings were safe gave us such peace of mind. It says a lot about the character of the people who work here. Thank you for taking such good care of your guests and for reminding us that honesty and kindness still matter. We truly appreciate it and will remember this experience for a long time!"

"An excellent option for a reasonably priced hotel near the airport and with free shuttle service. We were thrilled to discover that breakfast service starts at 5:30 am - a real Bonus when you have an early international flight! The dinner we had at the restaurant was very good, but the buffet breakfast was just okay."

"The hotel was more beautiful in person than in the photos!!! Check in was super easy and the room was spacious and clean. The food in the restaurant was great and the food truck area right outside the hotel was a plus. Travelled for my birthday and the friendly front desk staff even surprised me with a mini cake and a signed birthday card to the room☺️"
