Top Happy Hollow Park and Zoo Hotel Reviews

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."

Convention Center Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Incredibly well run by a welcoming owner."

AC Hotel by Marriott San Jose Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel facilities were as expected for a 3 star hotel. They had water and coffee in the room which was nice. Staff was very helpful. We forgot something in our safe after checkout and only realized after we were at one hour away. They kindly informed housekeeping and we were able to access the safe and retrieve our property. Thank you to the nice employees of AC Downtown San Jose !"

Super 8 By Wyndham San Jose

8/10 Good

"A bit ghetto but got the job done. Staff was very helpful"

Americas Best Value Inn San Jose Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel and stuff"

Hotel Clariana

8/10 Good

"The staff was super friendly and the location is convenient, though there was significant street noise on Friday night even on the 5th floor. We are heavy sleepers so it wasn’t an issue for us. Bathroom was very clean and spacious- one of the better hotel bathrooms I’ve had at this price range! Bed was comfortable but pillows too big. Coffee pods were not replenished and dirty cup was left, but towels were changed and bed was kind of made. Fitness room has a good selection of free weights and two benches, no weight machines, two treadmills and a recumbent bike. Breakfast was passable."
