What a mess! Food trays with uneaten food left in the hallways; flooded hallways; old stained carpeting on the steps; dying plants on the landings. Now for the room; the AC died my first night in the room, never to work again; there were two used greasy bobby pins left on the shelf in the bathroom; roaches in the shower;... More

I specifically chose Hotel Torremolinos because of its swimming pool and hotel location. The hotel location is great, being walking distance from the main San Jose city park and the new national stadium. But most everything else about the hotel was not good. The swimming pool turned out to be cold, dirty and in need of water. The rooms and... More

The Manager Jerry Duran and his staff are very cooperative and would go out of their way to make you comfortable. Their complimentary breakfast needs some improvement. The neighborhood is quiet and taxis are available very quickly. Clemente is always on hand to take you around. My family and I enjoyed it there. More

What more can I say than old blood stains and strands of hair on the cardboard box mattress that's supposed to serve as a bed. Two flat smelly pillows. The door didn't lock and the bathroom looks like a flashback to the fifties. Old, rusty, and gross. I'd rather sleep in my car. We ended up leaving after an hour. More

They are completely refurbishing the hotel and I got a peak at one of the new rooms and it was a huge improvement. The neighborhood is good, safe, with restaurants, groceries, and a wonderful park nearby. Breakfast buffet was decent, stick with fruit for other meals, which were disappointing and expensive. Pool is a joke. Well priced. More

The breakfast is... More

My boyfriend and i needed a place to crash as we had our flights in San Jose but actually vacationed in coco beach. We thought for a night this hotel would be alright. We were mistaken. The rooms were not in terrible condition for an old hotel, however other problems are the cause for the poor review. This place is... More

Stayed here for two nights in March (once at the beginning of our trip and once at the end). Hotel is dated but relatively clean. Staff were helpful. The doors to the rooms did not appear to be overly secure, making the room easy to break into. The surrounding area isn't great as North-East of the hotel is sketchy. There... More
