Top Happy Hollow Park and Zoo Hotel Reviews

Hotel De Anza by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"It was nice"

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."

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."

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"
