Hotel Details

Location

Located less than 5 minutes from the San Jose Convention Center and 15 minutes from San Jose International Airport.
The hotel is within a 15-minute walk of the San Jose Convention Center, and a bus line to downtown and area attractions stops nearby. Great America Theme Park is a 15-minute drive away, and the San Jose International Airport is also about 15 minutes by car. Free private parking is available on site, making car travel convenient. The immediate area includes a Walmart, a peaceful Japanese garden, and several food outlets within walking distance, including Wendy's and Puro Michoacan approximately 0.5 km away. Some rooms may experience aircraft noise due to proximity to the airport flight path, and occasional neighborhood noise can be expected. The back of the property is quieter.

Accommodation

Renovated rooms feature a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, cable TV, blackout drapes, and free Wi-Fi.
Rooms are newly renovated with modern bathrooms, large showers, and comfortable beds with quality pillows. The spacious interiors include a sitting area, carpeted floors, and both heating and air conditioning. Standard room amenities are a microwave, refrigerator, coffee maker, cable TV, ironing facilities, and free Wi-Fi. Some rooms have one bed; others have two. While the bathrooms are modern and spacious, they often lack towel bars, soap dishes, and towel hooks, requiring guests to place toiletries on the floor. Some rooms also report missing closet bars, limited storage, and a bathroom design where the door may hit the toilet. A few rooms have noise from thin walls, and the air conditioning can be loud. Rooms at the back of the property are significantly quieter.

Dining

A free continental breakfast and free coffee are available each morning.
The complimentary breakfast is a continental buffet, typically including packaged muffins, cereals, juice, and coffee. It is a basic offering and may not satisfy those expecting a full hot breakfast. Free coffee is available throughout the day in the lobby. There is no on-site restaurant or bar. Several food options are within a short walk, including Wendy's and Puro Michoacan at 0.5 km, plus a nearby food truck park with varied cuisine.

Facilities and Services

Free on-site parking, free Wi-Fi, 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, and daily housekeeping.
The hotel offers free private parking on site with no reservation needed, accessible parking spaces, and a well-lit lot. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property, though connectivity can be inconsistent. The 24-hour front desk can assist with luggage storage, express check-in/check-out, and daily housekeeping. A vending machine provides drinks and snacks. The property is wheelchair accessible, and the front desk can arrange fax/photocopying for an additional charge. No pets are allowed.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a room at the back of the property if noise sensitivity is a concern, as road-facing and parking-lot-facing rooms can be affected by traffic and late-night activity.

  • 02

    Plan to bring your own toiletries, towel hooks, and a soap dish, as the bathrooms lack shelving and towel bars in many rooms.

  • 03

    Use the free on-site parking and luggage storage to explore the area before check-in or after check-out.
