patio, and a boutique" Sunset Magazine
"After pounding San Jose's steamy streets and side stepping
suicidal drivers, entering the Hotel Don Carlos is like stepping
into another world. The tinkling sound of water coursing over
stone ledges and the friendly smiles of the staff welcome
you to the hotel's tranquil lobby and begin the process of
shedding the day's tension. The Hotel Don Carlos is the reflection
of a lifestyle as well as a first class hotel and museum"
