    Didn't like paying for overnight parking, and the bathtub didn't plug. The breakfast was a bit expensive. Next time would just get breakfast some place else.

    It was clean, comfortable and nice. The room was easy to access too, would probably stay again.

    It didn’t have complementary breakfast like all the other Holliday inn’s we have stayed in. A lot more expensive than any other Holliday inn we have ever stayed in.

    It was clean.

    I booked because of the name Holiday Inn, and the close proxsimity to the airport. NEXT TIME?????

    Didn't like the fact hotel restaurant was close because of being Sunday, not the most inviting neighborhood to walk? Also didn't like the fact we had to pay for parking, they already have a parking lot? Also pricing is very deceptive, still not sure what they charged my sister for the room? The price they first billed her on arrival was different then what was on the invoice they slipped under our door in the middle of the night? Other then that, it was fine.

    Convenient to San Jose Airport (SJC) but get ready for some potential surprises
    • Leisure trip

    • Standard King Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    Could have been better: hot room (80 deg F / 27 deg C) at evening check-in; anemic air conditioner kept the room at a toasty 75 deg F; leaking flapper in water closet causing regular refills; no hot water in the morning (faulty shower valve); free parking, but with a "surprise" mandatory $15 charge for parking lot security.

    The "good" -- convenient to airport, a low cost gas station is nearby to refill your rental car, breakfast, comfortable bed, quick check-in, and a pleasant staff.

    A nice place to stay but don't walk around the neighbourhood.

    The neighbourhood was a bit dodgy and upon check in I felt like we were being scrutinised. Understandably so because I feel this neighbourhood is one of the worst in crime in the San Jose area. I was a bit surprised when I was asked why we booked at a third party site instead of directly with the property or with IHG, I did respond that it was simply a matter of price. Then they went into a spiel about points and how valuable they are and everything they can do for you to which I responded I've rarely received anything nice using hotel points; however I do appreciate having status just because of my overall stays so I'm treated like a frequent guest which I am. If that situation were to change I would probably not stay at IHG any longer.

    The bed was comfortable and everything worked in the room it was also quiet which was nice. We really enjoyed the breakfast because I absolutely hate sausage but I love bacon and my partner is the opposite. It was nice to have both selections at breakfast so we could both have breakfast meet. The person running the breakfast buffet was delightful and extremely diligent.

    THE SHUTTLE SERVICE. YOU CONTRACT OUT WITH JOY AND THEN DRIVER WAS VERY THREATENING AND CURT. IT WAS SCARY. WE SHUTTLED TO THE HOTEL, BUT TOOK AN UBER TO THE AIRPORT. THIS MAN SHOULD BE FIRED.

    The room was clean. What I lacked was a wall mirror to apply make up. Missed that greatly. Had a cocktail at the bar with family and the bartender was very nice.

    I got in the hotel, and they said I was not booked there. They could not find my reservation. I was told to go to another Holiday Inn in San Jose. I got to the other Holiday Inn, and the clerk told me that I was not booked there and that I was not the first person that day with that problem. When I got back to the hotel, they said that the booking had just arrived. While waiting for the room in the lounge, there was a party extremely noisy. After a long flight and all the trouble of going up and down in San Jose, I was exposed to a session of torture!

    Good instalations.

    Only drawback was I asked for a 4:15 AM wake up call to catch my flight. The person receiving the call repeated it back to me. Of course I set my own alarm as well. I had only been asleep for about two hours when the wake up call arrived at 1:15 AM. Then it took me a while to fall back to sleep. So I ended up with only about five hours of sleep before my flight. And of course at 4:15 I called and come through.

    That the third party rate that I was offered was not reflected in your computer.

    The concierge helped us because I had a different rate than what was on your computer.

    Some other people who were staying in the hotel were putting their kids' diapers by our door. Another thing I still had to pay for parking. When they weren't supposed to charge.

    The stay was confervale.
