Avante, a JDV by Hyatt Hotel

While technically a 3 star, it was better than some 4 stars I have stayed at. I would put this hotel closer to 4 stars for decor, room size, comfort, pool facilities and staff attentiveness. A special mention for RJ who was super welcoming. Parking is free, onsite and plentiful. Location wise, while not a typical vacation stay area, this was a fantastic base for downtown San Jose, a trip to the coast, a trip to Yosemite etc. Nearby lots of restaurants (within walking distance, and a large outdoor shopping complex with a huge reasonably priced supermarket. Try the Taco street van just down the road for authentic Mexican cuisine. Although room only, there is a service station in reception to replenish on tea/coffee in a morning and has plenty of fresh fruit. You can order breakfast options from reception. For between $8-12. I would definitely stay here again.

We really like this hotel. The staff members are exceptional. they really work together. Love the free cookies, the comfortable bed, and the quietness of the property.

If I remember correctly, we were told there was breakfast for purchase. It was a nice surprise to come down the elevator and see complementary orange and cranberry juice. I'd brought my own tea and coffee, so didn't care about those. Beds were comfortable, room was very clean, walls were thick (couldn't hear neighbors at all :) ), A/C worked well, and floors & doors were not noisy.

Rooms are spacious, clean, well equipped and nicely decorated. Friendly staff. Easy parking. Walking distance to Target and some restaurants.

I liked the coffee, juice and fruit in the morning. The gym had good equipment. The hotel was very quiet at night. The cleaning staff and front office were very efficient and extremely friendly. The cost was very competitive with other hotels in the city.
