Was in town for a concert at the SAP center. Location is good, within walkable distance to SJSU, the SAP center, and San Pedro Square. Has free parking which is a big plus as many other hotels in the area charge for parking. Rooms were clean, all facilities were in good condition, beds were comfortable. Owner was very kind and attentive. This hotel is clearly a labor of love and I would definitely stay here again.

I booked this hotel for a solo getaway to attend the GalaxyCon convention happening nearby. I am always nervous about staying at a hotel by myself, but as soon as I walked into the lobby, I felt relieved. I unfortunately forgot to ask for his name, but I was greeted by a lovely man who had all the best jokes and puns! He made me feel very safe and even wished me an early happy birthday. Aside from the very easy and quick check in, my room was amazing. For it being the standard room, it was much bigger than anticipated. It was very clean and had great amenities. It was also a breeze to walk to the convention center with it only being about a 10 minute walk. There’s even a great coffee shop right next to the hotel. I absolutely recommend this place. I will definitely be booking again should I need a place to stay in San Jose.

Only if you stay a quick night, no more, but I hope the owners will try to maintain it properly, otherwise will go down sooner than later

Terrific Spot

I thought it would be a huge property (with the name being convention center), but it was small, quaint, and very quiet. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a place in downtown.

Great stay, comfortable beds & super clean rooms.

Good location steps away from the SJ Convention Center. Friendly welcome at reception, the bed was super comfortable and the room amenities were great. The whole place is super clean. Can't beat it for the price. Good coffee shop next door too. I'll be back!
