This is an old California mansion that has lost much of its splendor and most of its original grounds and been converted into a conference center. But it is has all been tastefully done.It offers a solid 4 star hotel experience.The pool is good and the location is fine for the San Jose area. The rooms we had were quiet,good... more

Got a great rate on travelzoo for a 4 night stay. At check in, drive was blocked by maintenance. Clerk had us down for only 2 nights and rate appeared to be higher than confirmation. Hotel had a musty smell. Next to our room door, were left over dirty dishes (we checked in about 8 pm so it seemed odd... more

This was one of the most successful girlfriend getaways we have had. Lovely details in the room, very nice spa/pool/sauna etc., beautiful grounds, great weekend price. We are trying to think up excuses to go back! I think this was advertised as a 3-star resort, and I would concur. The only slight problem I noticed was the grout in the... more

I stayed at the Hayes Mansion for a) An inexpensive nearby getaway and b) My company is booking a Christmas party and we are checking out nearby properties. I did not get a great impression of the place. We came to the property and the front porte cochere was blocked off due to a wedding located near the front lobby.... more

We had a nice comfortable room, when we found it. Apparently we were double booked into the same room with the lady that checked in moments before we did. Luckily we found out before we had gotten into our room. The front desk fellow gave crummy directions to the room and so - both people that he directed to the... more

My husband and I stayed here for a short getaway on our anniversary. THe location was accessible to the local wineries, and we couldn't have been happier with the accomodations. The hotel is right next to a park, which was a nice place to take a morning stroll. The hotel also provides tennis equipment if you want to play tennis... more

I stayed at the mansion, while doing business in the Silicon Valley area. I’m down at least once a month doing sales calls. I’m sick of staying at the same Marriott, Hilton, Starwood brand that all look the same no matter what city your in. I found this hotel about 6 months ago, I pay about $179-$199, I guess the... more

After spending the day in San Jose we needed lodging for just one nite, and I must say that I spent an inordinate amount of time researching hotels. I finally settled on the Dolce Hayes Mansion since it appeared to be close enough for our drive, yet it was well away from the frenetic downtown area. It took us 20... more

We had an offer for this hotel for $100/night, including breakfast, through Travelzoo. So we booked it and bought plane tickets to San Jose. The hotel is in a beautiful mansion in a residential area. It was easy to find. We arrived before check-in time, but were able to leave our bags. When we did get into our room, it... more
