So fresh and so clean.
Inside the earthy yet upscale San Jose Hotel, we stopped in to check out the small cafe. My first instinct told me it was going to be good because the smell inside was a wonderful clean citrus mixed with eucalyptus.
I was disappointed that they only served beer and wine (no liquor), but was pleased with the bar maids knowledge of the selections. She recommended a nice champagne and it seemed to fit my mood perfectly. We opted for the outside seating area because there's not a whole lot going on inside, considering there are only two tables. The poolside patio on the other hand was full of young adults discussing work and politics, but in a casual and enjoyable way. More Barack and less McCain if you understand what I mean.
A DJ sat in the corner playing 45's on his high tech equipment, but he intrigued me with his beatnic style. The music seemed to come right out a 1965 Playboy magazine. The music was a great time-filler during lulls in conversation, but it was never a distraction.
I like this place because it seems secret. Although it's located in a very trendy spot it seems like you should have to be a dues paying member to get in. The hotel itself offers bungalows that overlook the cafe patio. I'm going to start saving up now so that I can stay there.
For it's beautiful bamboo and cactus displays and fresh smelling soap, I give San Jose Hotel Cafe a 4 out of 5.
