Top Happy Hollow Park and Zoo Hotel Reviews

Convention Center Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Amazingly friendly and helpful staff! Great room, very clean and spacious."

The Westin San Jose

10/10 Excellent

"Great all the way around with everything"

Hilton San Jose

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly front staff, clean and spacious suites, and great location!"

Signature Inn San Jose

8/10 Good

"This place is kinda you pay what you get for kinda vibe, it wasn’t super bad but there was some stuff that just felt could have been improved. Beds were ok some areas felt like they were sinking a bit more than others. Flooring in some areas was lifting or dipping. The window ac worked when it felt like it. The walls are very thin and you can definitely hear people around talk and some were talking constantly throughout the night. Some of the other guests that were there were acting a bit suspicious which I’m not surprised for the price of the hotel usually attracts not the most ideal people. Some good things about the hotel is they were close to a lot of store and food options for days. They had a new microwave and fridge. They also renovated the bathroom to make it a little more modern which was very appreciated for the walk in shower. But again not the best and not the worst. If you need a place to crash to sleep and dip for an affordable price then try it out. If I’m around the area again and I need to stay at a hotel I would consider this place if I need to :)"

Signia by Hilton San Jose

10/10 Excellent

"Clean hotel, easy check-in, check-out, and valet. I selected a basic room, and the room met my expectations. Wouldn't normally review this. But . . . 4-5 hours after checking out, we realized a purse was left behind in a dresser drawer. We called hotel's security to report this, they retrieved and secured the purse, and returned it to us when we pulled up to the valet circle. Major kudos to the staff for their helpfulness and kindness, and to the hotel which clearly instills a culture of honesty and integrity. Signa Hilton San Jose comes with my highest recommendation."

Towneplace Suites By Marriott San Jose Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"What is unexpectedly delightful about Marriott Suites is that they have a full range of amenities - including a washer / dryer! After being on the road for 8 days, the luxury of cleaning EVERYTHING you own is just too much. The room was exceptionally clean and functional, and the staff could not have been nicer / more helpful. A thoroughly delightful place to stay."

Hotel Clariana

8/10 Good

"i liked it, would stay again"

Work and Gym Hideaway

10/10 Excellent

"The house has lovely surf-style decor. The beds are comfortable. The AC came in handy during our stay. Plenty of channels available on the large TVs, which were available in every room. Nice little back patio and gym in the garage. The place was conveniently located walking distance from restaurants and a market/deli. I liked staying here on our visit to San Jose."

Timeless Tudor With Game Rooms & Hot Tub!

10/10 Excellent

"A beautifully restored Tudor home! We enjoyed everything about our stay & are looking forward to our next visit to!! Thank you!"
