Hotel Le Bergerac

For a one night cheaper stay in San Jose, it is a nice enough hotel. The location is good, next door to a Starbucks (for the real stuff you have to go to a plantation), there is a grocery store (Auto Mercado), and a few restaurants, all within walking distance.

it was UNCLEAN

Had a great experience. The room and bathroom were great, and I had a private enclave out the back door. Which was really great. I was able to walk to the museums and downtown stores easily from here. My only negative was that there was accumulated dust on one of the bedside tables, I didn’t mind it, but it would have bugged some people.

Excellent staff- lovely hotel

I liked the location, the green trees around the hotel I liked most. The staff was friendly and helpful, the breakfast was not a big hit.

We stayed here 6 or 7 years ago. We loved the location and service at that time. We were disappointed in this stay. The hotel does not appear to have kept up it’s maintenance. Our room was musty and had mold in the bathroom. The staff were not nearly as welcoming or helpful as last time. The breakfast was not as good as last time too. We will be looking for a different place to stay, next time we are in San Jose.

I believe I reserved one of their best rooms. It was decent. There was a very nice small balcony with a nice view. It had not been cleaned well in quite some time. The free breakfast was very good. Here is the reason that I would never return to this hotel. There is a front gate that is always locked. Guests do not have a key. They rely on a staff member to open and close it. At best you have to wait several minutes for someone to answer a bell and allow you to enter. We were told we had to return by midnight to gain entrance to our room. Midnight curfew like we were in high school. But more importantly there is no obvious second means of egress in case of a fire. If the surly young man who opens and closes the door at night is incapacitated you would be trapped inside the hotel.

The hotel is nice, well kept, surrounded by plant life. The hotel, unfortunate for them, had very few guests. They have a nice dining room, but at this time do not serve dinner. The room I chose had a little patio attached to the room. There was very little traffic noise while sitting on the patio. The room was spotless, nice, and comfortable. The only issue was that because they are a small hotel the entrance is locked and the staff has to be handy to open the door. The same with parking, the small lot is gated and the staff needed to open it. This was kind of an issue, as my girlfriend got an emergency call and had to leave around midnight, and it took awhile for the attendant to wake up and come out to open the parking gate. There are several restaurant/bars within walking distance, and the San Pedro mall is about 3/4 mile away. We liked the hotel and will stay there again.

A solid 2 1/2 star. Property could use some maintenance. Room smelled musty, wood floor creaks, AC unit leaks, no window screens so bugs enter when windows are open. No breakfast options…you get scrambled eggs, rice and beans. No Mountain View…all you see is overgrowth from the property.

The Hotel is in a nice location. The free parking is secure and the grounds of the hotel are very nice. The staff was friendly the first night and next morning the made to order breakfast was very nice. The second night the front desk person was not very helpful. We went out for a drink that night and got back at 11 PM. He was clearly annoyed that he had to let us back onto the property. He was also cold the next morning at breakfast. Although we had new sheets and towels, the bathroom was not thoroughly cleaned.
