Alice's place was a nice place to stay during my conference in downtown San Jose. The room has keypad entry which was very easy to use. The automatic light at the entry was useful when I got back after dark. Since I didn't have a car, I walked to downtown in the morning and evening. The neighborhood is very calm at night and I felt like I was the only one walking around after dark, but I never felt unsafe. The tea and snacks in the room were a nice touch.
