Hyatt Place San Jose Airport

10/10 Excellent

"very nice place that is close to the airport."

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"
