Hotel San José

Once a rundown residential dump, the Hotel San José is now a sparse, spectacular, comfy, contemporary center of cool, from the concrete and red hardwood floors to the mini-balconies and the heated pool ensconced in a most relaxed courtyard area. The continental breakfast, stylin' bar, and warm-weather catering festivities are all just gravy.
