Here's my followup for the Holiday Inn. In a word, I was pleasently surprised (ok, two words). The HI folks have actually spent some money on the property and upgraded the carpets and some of the room fixtures, including the BED, and that's the most important thing in any hotel room, IMHO. Based on the rate that some in my company paid at the far inferior Clarion on 4th, the $76 rate paid for this Holiday Inn was a HUGE BARGAIN. Convenient (for me), big property, great beds, decent towels, free internet. My only complaint is the noisy wall AC units. Other than that, good stuff. I'll book again when in SJ. TXBizTvlr
