Best airport hotel we have stayed at in quite a while. Pick-up was prompt. Check in was easy and the room was pleasant. Constant vans back and forth to the adjacent airport meant that we could leave when we wanted. Breakfast was good too. What more could we ask for?

Room was clean. Check in was very friendly and helpful. I thought this Holiday Inn express was better than those I’ve seen in the United States. Great place to stay if you need to stay somewhere to catch a flight in or out of the San Jose airport. They also have a nice swimming pool area for a Holiday Inn express.
