Conveniently located off major freeways, less than one mile from San Jose International Airport, 4 miles from San Jose Convention Center and Downtown San Jose, and within minutes of major tech companies.

Just a few miles separate us from a wide range of shops, restaurants, theatres, museums, and theme parks like California's Great America in Santa Clara. In addition, the kingpins and start-ups of Silicon Valley are all within close proximity.

Lovely setting

The Holiday Inn in San Jose is not the stereotypical Holiday Inn. It is a large comfortable hotel with a lovely patio area in back leading to its conference facilities. The room was not overly large but was very comfortable and tastefully decorated. It is very convenient to the San Jose airport. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Very good business experience

We didn't get to the hotel until about six hours after our scheduled time due to flight delays. When we arrived at about 2:00 am, the staff was very friendly and attentive and got our rooms quickly and effectively. Since we arrived so late, the rental car counter was closed and we took a taxi to the hotel. After waking up the shuttle took me straight to the airport to pick up the car. On the second day of our being there, the A/C didn't seem to be working properly and a technician was sent up within minutes of our calling and the problem was resolved immediately. I did not have an opportunity to dine at the hotel, but my business associate did and said that what she had was very good. This was a business trip so we didn't have time tp take in any of the sites, but there was plenty of information available at the hotel for local attractions. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience.
