Spark by Hilton San Jose Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The place was great ! A disclaimer to those sensitive to noise *** It is right next to the San Jose airport, so you will hear planes taking off constantly. What I mean is, you will feel like you are actually at the airport, that's how close it is. I knew this before going and the noise of planes doesn't bother me. If this type of noise does bother you, you should find a different place. Just FYI. Again, it didn't bother me, so my stay was great."

Aloft by Marriott San Jose Cupertino

8/10 Good

"We had a pleasant stay as always in a Marriott hotel. I have to say the rooms were kind of plain and could use some more decors to make it more peaceful and harmonious vibe. The light switches were kinda weird and one of the switch was broken but was later fixed when we got back. So, that was nice. It’s close to freeway and shopping centers in the area. Walking distance. Overall, I would stay again."

Aloft by Marriott Santa Clara

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment we arrive, the service was very professional and warm. We came to enjoy the world cup and the front desk provide us with the information needed to go to the stadium (not too far from the hotel) the food was great as well and the coffee was excellent. Great place to stay near the airport and other facilities"
