The location is excellent, but the property itself needs renovation. While it still carries its name and historical value, there are many improvements that need to be made to make the stay more comfortable. Much of the furniture and curtains are outdated, though they are kept very clean and well maintained. For the price he will expect more at least on the furniture in the room. They’re very basic . It offers good value for the area, but not necessarily for the overall experience is OLD !

I was here first time in the bar and I believe her name was Karla. She gave me a huge attitude. She was banging on the counter and saying I need to hurry up which I found that really rude. I hate that attitude she gave me. I was hoping for something better than this at a hotel which is considered one of the best hotels in San Jose.

Karla Colombian girl working at the bar has a big attitude. You’re just a server get your attitude straight. She telling us that she doesn’t have time for my order was rude. Also she ignored us the whole time there. Other than that the stay is going well.

I had dinner down at the tables near the TV's to watch the football game. Jerome was my server. He was amazing, great at what he does and just an over all good person. As a flight crew member working around the holidays, this means everything to me. I felt like I was almost at home. Great to meet you, Jerome! Happy Holidays.

Excellent and Prompt Heat Repair Service
George provided outstanding service repairing the heating system in my room at the Signia. No sooner than he clocked into work, he made it to my room and got right to work. He was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient - diagnosing and fixing the issue quickly. George made sure the repair was done correctly and to my liking before he left, demonstrating real pride in his work. As a thoughtful touch for the inconvenience, he even left me with a chocolate in the form of a wrench! His friendly demeanor, attention to detail, and genuine care for guest comfort made the experience exceptional. It’s clear George goes above and beyond to ensure guests are well taken care of. Highly recommend him for any maintenance needs - he’s a true professional!
