• Location, right in he heart of Downtown!
• Very outdated rooms and beds were stiff.

“If you are going for location and landmark you can not get much better, however, the rooms are very outdated with ancient tube TV sets and the beds and decor are stale.”

• The decor was attractive yet keeping with the history of the area.
• The room size was very small and the bathroom would be more efficient with a countertop.

“We needed a room convenient to the airport and wanted to try something more upscale than our usual park-and-fly hotels. Loved the complimentary cookies, fruit, and tasty coffee available before our early AM flight as we didn't have time for breakfast.”

• Hotel bar was very nice.
• Awful fitness center - worst I've ever seen. Must be upgraded.

“Very nice rooms, lobby & restaurant/lounge. Convenient location right off the freeway. Nice restaurants within walking distance.”

• It was pretty n quiet.
• Construction going on, loud, noisy, ice machine wasn't working, remote for TV initially didn't work.

“The hotel was quite pretty, great location but at the same time it was quite noisy. The ice machine on the 6th floor wasn't working someone had to bring us some ice. We had to call someone to fix the remote twice. All n all it was alright was supposed to be a romantic getaway.”

• Room service was fast and the food quality was good.

• Free snacks 10pm to 5am.
• Limited room service menu.

“This was a beautiful and cozy hotel and the staff was extremely courteous and helpful. The rooms are ample size, nicely decorated, comfortable beds, and very clean. The room service menu was limited to only Italian food from their restaurant but they do have free snacks between 10pm and 5am every night which includes sandwiches, fresh fruits, cookies, and coffee. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and everything about the hotel.”

• Location, good staff.
• Rooms are quite small.

“Luxury appointments, attentive staff, good location, excellent lobby and bar, but this is an old hotel, redone nicely, but with quite small rooms. So everything else is typical of four star hotels, but the room is the size of a two star.”

• It is a hotel that meets needs if in that area.
• Tub in shower is to high dangerous. Decor is shabby-namely window dressings

“Has a wonderful restaurant needs upgrading to current travel objectives. Parking is horrendous.”

• Free apples and cookies at front desk.
• No parking, $20 valet. Movies weren't working.

“This is a 3 star hotel at best. The location is poor. Its on a one-way street and there wasn't even a place to temporarily park for valet service when I arrived. I was shocked to see that valet was 20% of my room charge per night. The movies on demand was not working. They have someone turn-down the beds in the afternoon; otherwise you have to fetch the pillows out of the closet. Disappointing.”

• The entire staff was very gracious, all of them.
• I didn't find anything that I disliked about this hotel.

“Great downtown location, staff was very friendly; this is a very cool historic building with a tremendous history. My wife and I had a wonderful stay here and would recommend it highly to anyone traveling to the area.”

• Very clean, loved the room, bathroom. Free street parking after 6pm. Location was great as well!
• One of the front desk people had a bit of an attitude when I inquired about the internet. Otherwise, everyone was very friendly.

“Excellent hotel. Nice area and I highly recommend this hotel as a nice change of pace from the norm.”

• Very nice amenities, beautiful bar and lobby rooms.
• Noisy, old hotel with small rooms, parking expensive.

“Nicely Redone old hotel with location on main streets in San Jose and close to restaurant area. Old rooms are small but nicely appointed, AC is noisy and street noise and airport noise (in landing pattern for SJC) begins at 6 am. Parking is on street and hard to come by. Valet parking available but very expensive.”

• Good location.
• Old, dated, brassy, poor gym, aloof staff, NOT a 4 star!

“I was pretty disappointed with this hotel. The moment I walked in it smelled a bit like a bathroom & very old/dank. The rooms are updated but look like old rooms that someone tried to revive a little. Brassy fixtures, gym that had about 4 pieces of equipment that weren't great quality. Staff ignored me for awhile when I tried to check in & was more interested in talking to a maintenance worker (3 staff people) than greeting a customer. Would not stay again & was irritated you call this a 4-star... it's not.”

• I liked the location close to freeways.
• Had to pay 20 dollars a day for parking.

“I really enjoyed the time I spent at the Hotel de Anza. It's safe, conveniently located to freeway which is what I needed. The staff was really helpful and nice.”

• The "Raid the Pantry" feature after 10 PM.
• Drapes in room were disintegrating from sun. Falling apart.

“Great location if I was doing business in Downtown San Jose. Hotel needs some updating. Bathtub was elevated very dangerous scenario getting out with wet feet. A law suit ready to happen. Very noisy with Garbage trucks picking up at 5 am. TV station/cable setup was poor at best. Very few channels to choose from. Parking is impossible unless you pay the $20 per night for valet parking plus tip! Location is probably the best thing going for this very old, old hotel.”

• Complimentary food & drinks in the pantry and high quality universal weight machine with roman chair, late check out granted, staff.
• Asked for quiet room placed on side of hotel facing construction.

“Hotel is very elegant with attractive lobby and outdoor restaurant. Amenities include a modern universal weight machine with roman chair in the workout room. Pantry starting at 10:00 pm with complementary snacks and tea and milk by using your room key to enter the pantry & prepare your own was nice. Staff was co-operative about requests such as late check out. Note the continental breakfast is not free.”

• Location, clean, contemporary feel in a traditional hotel.
• Front desk staff didn't meet my expectation of a 4-star hotel; slow, lack fitness/professionalism.

“Front desk staff acts as concierge. Poor restaurant recommendation; not at the level of a 4-star hotel but more a 2 star!”

• Nice.
• Attitude.

“The hotel is nice, but probably should be rated a 3-star. Centrally located, but an older hotel that has been renovated. It tries, but does not have the amenities of a 4-star. It did not have the technology available that you would expect to have in the silicon valley.”

• "Raid our pantry" snacks from 10 pm to early am.
• Though attractive, room was rather small.

“Without leaving car on the street at a meter, the only parking available is valet parking, $20 per day. The staff was helpful and friendly. The adjective we thought that fits the hotel is "classy".”
