I had a decent stay at Delta Hotels By Marriott San Jose Aurola. The location is fantastic, allowing easy access to shopping and attractions, and the breakfast buffet was plentiful with options like a great omelet station. However, the room felt a bit outdated, particularly the bathroom, and there were persistent issues with the key cards that made accessing my room cumbersome.

Rooms

7.0

My room was comfortable and clean, but it definitely showed signs of age. The bathroom could use some serious renovation, and I found the carpets quite worn. It wasn't a deal-breaker for me, but I think a little updating would go a long way.

Service

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. They really made an effort to remember my name and preferences during breakfast, which I appreciated. On the flip side, the check-in experience was a bit disorganized since my reservation was missing, leading to some confusion.

Location

The hotel's location is excellent, just a short walk to Central Avenue and many attractions like museums and restaurants. I felt safe walking around during the day; however, I did feel uneasy about the area at night, especially near the red-light district.

The breakfast buffet was a highlight with a variety of options, and I enjoyed the happy hour with complimentary drinks and snacks in the lounge. I did choose to eat out for some meals, as there are plenty of great local eateries nearby.

Facilities

While the hotel offered standard amenities like a fitness room and an indoor pool, I felt that the facilities could use a few upgrades. The pool area was nice, though it was unfortunate that the tarps blocked the sunlight.

I had a nice stay at Delta Hotels By Marriott San Jose Aurola. The location was perfect, just a short walk from Central Avenue with plenty of shops and restaurants.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at the Delta Hotels by Marriott San Jose Aurola. The location is excellent, just a short walk from the city's pedestrian shopping area and museums, which made exploring San Jose easy. However, the experience was somewhat marred by a weird smell in the room and average breakfast options for a hotel of this caliber.

The room had a beautiful view of downtown San Jose, and was clean and relatively quiet. However, I noticed some mold along the outside bottom of the tub. Overall, it was decent, but could benefit from a modern renovation.

The hotel's location is a definite highlight, as it's within walking distance of the main shopping street and various museums. This made it really convenient for sightseeing around the city.

Dining

Breakfast did not quite meet my expectations for a five-star hotel. While there were some Costa Rican dishes available, the coffee was average and the options felt more aligned with a three-star hotel than a five-star experience.

Facilities

The hotel offers a fitness center, but during my stay, there were renovation works in the lobby which made it a bit disorganized. Room service and other amenities like dry cleaning and airport shuttles were available.
