Hotel Dunn Inn was lovely! Our room was clean and comfortable. We were within easy walking distance of central San Jose including museums and the pedestrian mall. The staff was friendly and helpful and we had access to secure free parking which was a bonus. Breakfast was also included! We highly recommend the Hotel Dunn Inn!

Really wonderful staff. It's an older hotel with a ton of character. Free and secure parking. Nice large rooms with good bathroom and hot water. Breakfast was very nice, a complete & very filling meal. The area is a bit shady with Casino across street, but if you're a savvy traveler it's fine and a good value for all the amenities needed for a quick stay.

The best thing about this hotel is the extremely friendly and courteous and helpful receptionist who very kindly let me have the room at 10 am in the morning. This hotel has all the basic amenities and is of a good standard for Latin America. The location is five minutes walk from the main street and didn’t feel unsafe although there are some visible homeless people on the street.

The hotel was built in the early 1900’s. Well restored and old time charm is evident throughout. Hotel staff was friendly and attentive. The complimentary breakfast was complete and delicious. The entire hotel was spotlessly clean despite its age. My room was well appointed and quiet

Room and amenities were fine. Staff was exceptional. What was totally unacceptable, and in fact HORRIBLE, was that the room was right next to the street where ALL NIGHT LONG and I mean, ALL NIGHT LONG people hung around raising hell. Racing motors. Extremely loud music and loud talking right outside the window. Impossible to sleep. I will not stay here again. If you do, DO NOT allow yourself to be put in room 27.
