Homewood Suites By Hilton Cariari San Jose

Homewood Suites By Hilton Cariari San Jose

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our stay at the Homewood. Clean room and bathroom, family friendly, nice pool. Super convenient location, close to a bunch of restaurants. The reason why I am not giving it a 5 stars is because I asked for an extra towel multiple times and they never delivered. Besides that breakfast was good, pool area was nice and cozy."
