Hayes Mansion, San Jose - Curio Collection by Hilton
"The property is beautiful and is located in an area that is fun to explore. My only complaint is the temperature in my room. The a/c was on but did not cool the room. I did open the windows to cool the room down and slept with the windows open. I would definitely stay here again."

"Ants in the bathroom. I didn't raise this with front desk because we were only staying one more night and I also didn't want our room fumigated during our stay. Fridge sounded like a blizzard blowing in the middle of the night. Upkeep could definitely have been better."
