Hilton San Jose

"Great hotel. A block away from the event. Nice bars and restaurants near by even walking distance."

Convention Center Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The attendant at the desk was very welcoming and cracking a few jokes to help improve check in."

Remodeled Spanish Bungalow Suite • Short Walk to SJSU + Parking

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect little stay for me and my pooch. Quiet & clean, nice kitchenette area. The only thing missing is a bathroom sink with mirror. There’s nowhere in the bathroom to wash your face, brush your teeth, put on makeup and get ready for your day. There is a full length mirror, which is great. Cute little sitting outdoor area for morning coffee or afternoon cocktail. One great thing, it’s in a gated area with a very small yard so my dog could be safely contained outside, and it’s private. "

Cozy 2BR - Perfect for a Family Stay!

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful apartment, would stay again but very uncomfortable with sending copies of Credit card and license info. I have never been asked for such. I pray all has been deleted and shredded. "
