Hotel Valencia Santana Row
10/10 Excellent
"Great stay."
Aloft by Marriott Santa Clara
10/10 Excellent
"Room and hotel were very clean and up to date. Breakfast was not complementary which was confusing based on the listed amenities in the listing. You have to pay for your order and wait. In is not continental which is what we expected. Not a deal breaker though because the price for the room was reasonable. Highly recommend. Wish we could’ve located and tried the gym but we were only there for 1 night and a late booking/check-in and had to hit the road early. But other than that the room and hotel were great. Staff was, meh. Kind stand off ish not really paying attention at check in but very helpful at check out when we had a parking warning on our car for not paying for parking which we also didn’t get the memo on. Apparently there are signs somewhere we didn’t see. But paying for parking at a hotel parking lot where you’re staying?? Wth??"
Spark by Hilton San Jose Airport
8/10 Good
"The place was clean, pool was outdoor, clean and warm. The breakfast was good. The traffic from the airport was a bit much since we are not use to that. It was a great place to stay. Burger King is right next door and my family felt safe here."
DoubleTree by Hilton San Jose
10/10 Excellent
"The room was clean, the staff were friendly and professional, and the hotel bar was reasonably priced. I didn’t try the breakfast, so I can’t comment on it. One tip for anyone staying here for a job interview in San Jose: check the iron before using it. Mine had melted plastic stuck to the bottom. Fortunately, I noticed it before ironing my dress shirt. Otherwise, it would have ruined my interview shirt right before one of the most important parts of the trip."
Sonesta Select San Jose Airport
10/10 Excellent
"Great place to stay. Clean and very spacious room and comfortable beds. WiFi was a bit hard to connect the first night, but no issues the second night. The pool was disappointing—not very clean, so we didn’t use it."
Four Points by Sheraton San Jose Downtown
10/10 Excellent
"It's a great hotel for any type of getaway in san jose with plenty of activities and experiences in the area I will defently be back at some point."
