This is the perfect place to make as your home base if you are planning on seeing the coast. We traveled up and down the coast and visited many beautiful beaches. It is also only an hour from San Francisco so you can make a day trip there and come back home to your own little spot and take a cool dip in the pool. The pool is amazing and so clean. San Jose offers many delicious gourmet food options for the foodies. We did Mexican and Italian and it was so good. I highly recommend this stay. It is a gem for the value!
