Hayes Mansion, San Jose - Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"From check-in, everything went great. The gentleman who checked us in was kind, knowledgeable, and overall a joy to have encountered. The check-in process was fast and easy. Once we received our keys, we went to our room which was really nice. Our stay overlapped the stay of a big soccer team and we were actually staying in the building that they were accessing. Security was amazing, they treated us as guests and we were able to roam freely (just had to show our room key). Everyone was absolutely great. We are big fans of this soccer team and were very pleased with how we were treated. The property is amazing, it’s big - easy to get lost honestly. But it’s beautiful. We would definitely stay here again."
