Whether you have a spare 30 minutes or a whole afternoon, the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden is the perfect place to escape from the business and bustle of Silicon Valley. Once an orchard, the 5.5-acre (2.2-hectare) gardens are now owned by the city and maintained with the assistance of volunteers. Over the years it’s forged a formidable reputation, winning the coveted title of “America’s Best Rose Garden” in 2010. Wander among the 3,500 elegantly arranged bushes sporting thousands of roses of nearly every variety, color and fragrance. The garden is also a display garden for the All-America Rose Selections, and receives new varieties before official release. Every variety is tagged with a name and description, so even non-gardeners will feel like an expert by the time they leave. At lunchtime you’ll find plenty of green space to throw out a picnic blanket. Arrive earlier in the day if you want to get a spot closer to the roses, as these spaces are in high demand. The fountain is another popular feature in the garden, so take a seat on one of the benches and enjoy the view. The garden is at its sweet-smelling best in spring or summer, but is still worth a visit in the cooler seasons as the plants are well maintained and there are nearly always a few specimens in bloom. With free entry and parking, this is one of the best places to unwind in San Jose, just under 10-minutes’ drive from downtown. Buses from downtown stop about 15 minutes’ walk away. ## Plan a trip to see San Jose Municipal Rose Garden Price found within the past 48 hours.

(420 reviews) I always love staying at this hotel. The rooms are comfortable and have every amenity necessary. The location in Central Mountain View cannot be beat. The very best part is that this is a family run establishment and you will feel a sense of caring and warmth from the staff throughout your stay. It is a special place.

(185 reviews) While the property itself is great (clean, quiet, good amenity), communication and management is poor. We were given a code to a wrong room in the Latch app as they re-assigned us to a new room on the day of check-in but didn’t update in their system properly. We stepped in a room that was clearly occupied! What’s worse was we were emailed that all staff would be on Thanksgiving break and we should call some back up phone number, but the back up person clearly belongs to a different firm and was not sure how to handle this and told us there is a chance nobody would be given it’s night before Thanksgiving (so very stressful for us after a long day of driving). And even more funny was we tried to call the original number after all, and they were actually not on break at all! They were indeed able to help. It seems the property is subcontracted through many firms and between each layer there is some communication barrier. Too many miscommunication and mismanagement made an otherwise wonderful stay stressful.
