Denver (DEN) to San Jose (SJC)

9.2/10 Wonderful! (1,007 reviews)

Our room was very old and in need of repair and replacement, i.e. torn carpeting and spotted upholstered furniture. I did not care for the shower head. We enjoyed the beach view and the staff was very accommodating. The first room we were given had a very strong and unpleasant odor and we requested to be moved. The VIP room we were given was next to the restaurant and not worthy of a VIP room price that we paid. We ate at the Jack O'Neill Restaurant at the property and had a wonderful breakfast on Thursday and a horrible breakfast on Saturday, and we ordered the same meal both times.
