Top Happy Hollow Park and Zoo Hotel Reviews

Four Points by Sheraton San Jose Downtown

8/10 Good

"I give it a 4 star review because the Mosaic bar in the hotel was just atrocious. We went to watch the cowboys loose since we had time before our concert and we didn't feel like wondering off just yet. There are about 15 miss matched couches piled up next to each other, there's about 70 worn out chairs, the TV's are hardly working, the bar counter was sticky, the bill was incorrect.... I mean it's like an abandoned furniture store in there. I have never seen anything like this. The great and best thing is that the rest of the hotel is excellent. The staff at check in was wonderful, she was kind, informative, just great. The room was clean, and ready at 4pm, the bed was very comfortable, we did enjoy staying the night. The rooms are updated. The actual neighborhood was safe and lively and you can walk to many attractions or take a short uber."
