The hotel is a mix of convenience for business travelers and families, offering a suite with two double bedrooms that can be handy for those with children. However, the noise level in the morning can be a downside, especially for light sleepers. The room with a Queen bed is more suited for business travelers who stay up late working.

The suite with two double bedrooms is great for families, but the noise in the morning can be a bit bothersome. The Queen bed room is perfect for business travelers who work late.

The Dunn Inn provided a comfortable stay in a safe area just a short walk from the city center. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, going out of their way to assist us. While the room was clean and the daily housekeeping was immaculate, the lack of exterior windows was a downside, with only beautiful stained-glass windows to admire.

The location of the Dunn Inn was further from the airport than I expected, but it turned out to be a very safe area. With less than a 10-minute walk to the center of San Jose, I found it a pleasant spot to relax and enjoy the nearby attractions.

The breakfast at the Dunn Inn was a bit basic, more like a light morning nibble than a full meal. Despite this, it was convenient being open early for tours and the offerings were simple but adequate.

The hotel has spacious suites ideal for families. The rooms are conveniently located but can be noisy due to nearby common areas. The interior windows provide natural light, though the rooms may have a stale smell.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel and will definitely return next week on the 5th. The room was spacious and very comfortable, equipped with more amenities than I expected, including a split system, ceiling fan, fridge, hairdryer, and safe. The staff was incredibly accommodating, especially when my luggage was delayed, offering to take me to the mall and bringing it to my room. The location was perfect, allowing me to walk to downtown easily and feeling safe. The dining experience was decent with a to-go breakfast option. Overall, a great value for the money.
