Homewood Suites By Hilton Cariari San Jose
Very clean and well appointed hotel. We loved the salt water pool and outdoor air hockey games. Free 24 hour coffee was a plus too! Probably the most convenient aspect was the 4am shuttle to the airport. Other hotels in the area don’t start their shuttles until 5:15 am.
