"From the check in to check out, this hotel was amazing! Wonderful, friendly staff who went above and beyond for our little dancers (we stayed for a dance convention in the area). Clean, beautiful property. The pool area was fun for the kids and adults both! Extremely clean rooms and nicely stocked with everything we needed. The restaurant and bar were amazing as well. Great location. We’ll definitely return!"

Hyatt Place San Jose Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Have not left an evaluation for the staff because the reason below: I left my expensive headphone in bed due to in hurry to catch early morning flight. In airport I realized leaving headphone in hotel and called front-desk immediately and the staff promised to have someone retrieve for me. Called back several times to let them know to have my friend to pick up. So far still have no luck, always was told that they would need to find out who had picked it up and would let me know. "

Embassy Suites by Hilton San Francisco Airport Waterfront

4/10 Poor

"this hotel's front desk staff yesterday (May 16, 2026) are totally incompetent and ignorant of their resposibility, I lined up at the front desk to check in, i booked for 2 rooms, (the 2nd room i paid extra for Lagoon view,) the first guys who we approached assisted us and checked us for 1 room, i was tired and tried to leave the front desk realized i need to be checked in for the second room, so i lined up again, another guy helped me and checked me in for the 2nd room, , when i enter my 2nd room, i found out the it is a regular room (not Lagoon view room) , i went down again , lined up at front desk and complain, and finally, got what I really booked and paid for. I'm a regular customer here, this time, I'm so disappointed , I will stay away from this hotel from now on."

Granada Hotel Santa Clara

6/10 Okay

"The room itself wasn’t too bad, it definitely had what it needed but it was definitely more dingy. The bathrooms were clean but rather dated which gives this look of being dirty. Sheets had random stains too but honestly I was looking to stay somewhere cheap and convenient so I can’t be too displeased. The staff were super nice and helpful. Air conditioning was loud but good. Great food around here! I wouldn’t be opposed to staying here again if I’m tight on money."
