Hotel De Anza

This hotel is an experience. It was older, so there's that, but our room was clean, and the staff was so polite and helpful. Not going to lie when we first got onto our room my daughter and I were like "yeah there's definitely going to be ghosts". Fortunately no ghosts or they were also polite and let us sleep. It is so close to the SAP center which was helpful for our Ateez concert. There a ton of nearby food options 3-15 minutes walk. There are museums and a cathedral all within easy walking distance too. I would stay again. Don't expect it to be a brand new chain restaurant with a continental breakfast. Think of it as a friendly base to explore from.

The hotel was overall nice with a lot of history in their decor and pictures. There's live music in the lounge area, so that's nice. The room we got was clean, and the bathroom was very spacious, till I got to the shower. There was brownish black mildew/mold on the bottom of the shower and close to the drain like it hadn't been scrubbed in a while. But overall, the staff was nice/helpful and friendly.
