Top Happy Hollow Park and Zoo Hotel Reviews

Four Points by Sheraton San Jose Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, the beds were comfortable. Internet was pretty fast for my needs. It is close to a lot of food places. It is also close to the metro. I just used the metro from the San Jose Mineta airport to the hotel. Using uber to go to the airport wasn't too expensive either. There is plenty to do at night as well if you are traveling with friends. Not sure about things to do with the family however."

"The stay was short but perfect. Parking could have been better but it worked out, just not enough of it. I would definitely recommend staying here. Even though there was a bunch going on in downtown San Jose, my stay was peaceful and restful."

Signia by Hilton San Jose

8/10 Good

"All communication had to be done by our cell phones, we could not find a number to call the front desk for questions. Also, the coffee maker was horrible, it was hard to figure out and only made a very small cup. Also, we were only given 1 cup in our hotel room, no glasses and only 1 coffee cup."

Convention Center Inn and Suites

"The attendant at the desk was very welcoming and cracking a few jokes to help improve check in."
