San Diego Suítes São José dos Campos

I needed an apartment near CTA in Sao Jose dos Campos for a stay of 6 weeks. Since I am a vegetarian, it had to be self-catering. I am really glad that I chose this place. It has not only met, but far exceeded all my expectations. The rooms are well appointed, with a nice cooking area, with a four stove burner. They provided me with a microwave as soon as I requested for it. They also gave me some extra cutlery (like knive) for cooking. Since I cook lunch and dinner, its nice to get the dishes and the cooking area cleaned everyday, and the entire room done up. The maid are very well behaved and efficient; I never had any complaint. The reception staff is very co-operative and know English, which is very helpful ! The entire hotel has strong wireless, and they also gave me a cable for a LAN connection, which is very fast. The breakfast spread is quite good, though there is limited choice for vegetarians; but I have no reason to complaint. They have a good spread of fruits and cornflakes and breads, so I can very well manage. The location is extremely convenient, just off the Dutra that connects Sao Paulo to Rio, there is an EXTRA superstore (open 8 am to 11 pm) just across the hotel, and Centervale Mall is just five minutes by foot. There is a 24 hour taxi stand just outside the hotel, and the bus stop is only a five minutes' drive. I could not have asked for a better location ! There are two TVs, one is the bedroom, and another in the living room, which is a 32 inch SONY Bravia. By connecting an HDMI cable to the TV from my laptop, I have been able to go online and watch many movies and other programs. They have an excellent gym on top floor, a room for any get-togethers/parties, as well as two open terraces, where one can get some fresh air, and a wonderful 360 degree views of the city. The night view of the lights at the airport across the Dutra is mind blowing, especially if you can catch some night landings ! Due to a long duration stay, I also got nearly 50% discount on the rack rate. I will strongly recommend this place for people who have requirements similar to mine.
