Top California Theater Hotel Reviews

Hotel De Anza by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"It was nice"

The Alameda Motel San Jose

10/10 Excellent

"Nice chill affordable place to stay"

San Jose Marriott

8/10 Good

"There was no room safe which is not normal in this class of hotel. Also there was no buffet breakfast which is normal at Marriott hotels worldwide ."

Hotel Clariana

8/10 Good

"This hotel is a nice change from chains - staff was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the central location lends itself to very loud neighbors and traffic. We stayed a Saturday/Sunday night, and our windows literally shook from the bass beats outside until 11pm. Might suggest a room not street facing."

AC Hotel by Marriott San Jose Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect except for the main elevators. They were broken. We had to use the employee elevators which was not a problem. We didn't mind. Perfect location too!"

Convention Center Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This place is a hidden gem in downtown San Jose! It’s close enough to walk to San Pedro Square or the SAP Center, but far enough away from the hub that it remains quiet and relaxed. The courtyard looks like a picture from the French Quarter and the staff is just as friendly. There is free parking, which is a huge plus in the downtown area and the rooms are spacious and very well kept."

Holiday Inn San Jose - Silicon Valley by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel and staff."

The Westin San Jose

10/10 Excellent

"This stay was to allow for us to be close to the 1/2 marathon. The hotel is beautiful, a very unique, older hotel. The check in was seamless and the valets were amazing! The room was small, but laid out well and the ac was perfect for the hot weather. It was a pleasure to have a fridge in the room. I did find morning desk staff to be less friendly than the wonderful afternoon person who checked us in, however, they were efficient. If we get back to San Jose, would definitely stay again."

Hilton San Jose

10/10 Excellent

"Great"
