Hotels near St James Park, San Jose

I stayed at the same hotel for the second time three years after the epidemic, but the name was changed and the service was even better. In the heart of San Jose, next to the University of San Jose. Breakfast was very good.

After a very, very long travel day, we discovered our reservation at another hotel had been “lost”. Luckily, the Westin more than made up for it. Vera and Abigail at the front desk went above and beyond to make our stay a great one. They offered to check us in right away or wait a bit for a more spacious room. We elected to wait. They efficiently stored our luggage while we took a quick walk before returning to our fabulous room. Birthday saved! Ill Fornaio’s breakfast was another home run. It was so good that we returned a week later to enjoy the excellent food and service once more before heading home to Nashville. The valets were equally helpful. Thank you, Vera and Abigail! We will be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Room 1517 was very clean and comfortable. Housekeeping does a good job. Temperature controls are very easy to change and there was a refrigerator, coffee maker and a complimentary bottle of water. I love using the Marriott app to get my room key on my phone and bypass the front desk. It makes things very convenient. This hotel is a short walk to the Convention Center VTA light rail station that I was able to use to travel to and from the San Jose Airport. One issue I noticed though is that the in-room safe was not bolted to the cabinet. Anybody can literally just pick it up and carry it out of the room (which basically defeats the purpose of safe).

After a miserable day of travel and the last leg of our flight being canceled, Renee, at Four Points, sent a shuttle to pick us up at the airport and went far above and beyond to accommodate us, help extend our checkout time, and offer a very reasonable rate; the room was comfortable, clean, and the staff friendly and helpful. Our airport return was well beyond checkout time; they tagged and held our luggage so we could go have dinner, then retuned us to the airport in the evening so we didn’t have to spend hours in the terminal, exemplary service by kind and caring people.

A new and nice hotel you will love it! we are very happy to meet the staff Leanne , she is so professional , friendly and helpful and make us feel like home! Highly recommended!

I came up for a high school reunion and since I stayed here before, I wanted to stay here again. The woman at the front desk was friendly and inviting, and since I'm a Marriott member, per my request, I was given a great room on a high floor, and away from the elevator. Spacious room, great AC/heater unit, and the kitchen was helpful since I was there for four days. The breakfast buffet was great! Something different each day. Didn't care much for the pastry selection, but it worked. Really good coffee!!! Every staff worker I encountered was friendly and a couple asked if I had everything I needed. I really like staying here when I'm up in San Jose. It is so close to the airport, yet you can't hear the planes! I took two early morning walks along the river trail, and there you could hear the planes! Definitely worth staying at!

Location is great near main roads/highways in/out of the area. Staff was super helpful in answering any questions, following through on requests, etc. (especially Linda, she is awesome). Has food locations on site (including Starbucks) and a small gift/supplies shop. Plenty of room, it's a good size venue. If anything, the decor and ambiance is a bit dated and needs updating. But the room was big, the mattress was comfy, and the view from upper floor was good. Good experience overall and would recommend for sure as an affordable option in the area. Note that it is a long way from Levi's Stadium, and you need to take either a car (don't recommend that because the parking/driving situation at the stadium is insane), Uber/Lyft (very expensive but it gets you semi-close, with some blocks to walk remaining), or light rail (very close by, super cheap, but very crowded).

Loved the location quiet area. Comfortable room. So nice to have breakfast waiting. Good food and comfortable space to eat. Family loved it.

I am sorry to have to write summary negative review, because most Homewood Suites in which I have stayed have been wonderful. Not this Homewood Suites. After having our flight cancelled at 10pm, I booked this hotel’s one bedroom, king suite, with full confidence that I would get a few good hours of sleep before our 6:45am flight. I was wrong. While checking in, I asked if I could have an extra blanket for the pull out sofa bed and was told there were no more blankets available. The afternoon housekeeping staff had not washed any for the evening shift to have available. Upon arriving to room 309, the room was freezing, Inturned on the heat. However, after 20 minutes, only freezing cold air blew out. I called the front desk and was told I could switch rooms and to come all the way back to the front desk to pick up the key. Mind you, all the buildings are separate, individual buildings from the lobby, which meant an outside walk, in the dark, back to the lobby. Why the desk clerk could not bring a new key to me, I do not have understand. We moved to room 402 and while the heat worked, there was NO hot water coming from out of the bathtub/shower. After letting the water run for ten minutes, we gave up. Also, the drain was clogged, so the tub was over half full of water. The next morning, the water remained, which I took a picture of. Overall, this was the worst hotel stay I have had in years and I travel every week for business. I hope someone from Hilton reads this review as Indo plan on sending this to the hotel manager and regional vp also.

This property has so much potential; the ”bones” are exceptional. When walking into the lobby, it felt like walking into one of the Ritz Carlton properties from the 1990s: beautiful chandeliers, classic wallpaper, crystal sconces, thick carpets, the works. The daily breakfast was also quite good (scrambled eggs along with the typical continental components). I echo what an earlier reviewer said about the in-room coffee pods: clearly the best I have ever had in a hotel room. The room was also elegantly furnished with the same marble/crystal chandeliers/classic wallpaper. I think the same designer from Ritz Carlton also designed the bathrooms with a separate W/C, double sink marble vanity and more marble on the floors. Lots of easy parking also made the stay easy. That said, I noticed a few flaws and am hoping that this isn't a trend. First, the pillows/sheets had an ”old” odor to them. It's hard to describe, but those who are picky about beds will get what I mean. The bedding needs to be upgraded; pillows, sheets & mattress pads would do the trick. Also, we did not receive daily maid service. I would have liked for those awesome coffee pods to be replenished and the garbage cans emptied. For the rate, I would have assumed these things would have been attended to. If they upgrade their pillows/linens, I'll definitely return. If not, I likely won't since I can't get past the odor in the beds.
