Good location for DT San Jose
- 5/5
Great location to get to and from airport, Santana Row and walk around downtown areas. Lots of great restaurants nearby. Hotel was clean with spacious sized rooms and bathroom. I definitely think it’s the better hotel in terms of size and cost for comparable ones that are nearby - I will definitely come back when in SJ.

The walk to SAP Center was great, less than 8 minutes. No airport shuttle, but the bus from the airport into downtown San Jose is free from the airport which was nice. Lots of food choices in the area. The breakfast options in the hotel are expensive compared to other places I have stayed. Lyft was fairly reasonable and the drivers were great. The staff at the SAP were great, really good customer service.

Hotel staff was great, got us checked in early and it was lovely to have a bar downstairs to hang out before going to the show with the APP Center. I would say the only downside of this hotel is the walls are extremely thin and at two in the morning when people are coming back from partying, my husband and I were totally woken up.

Was disappointed in the room. WiFi was not working so there was no tv available. (Was not informed about this). Rooms shower had a piece that was broken. Only very convenient thing was the 10 min walk to SAP center. Breakfast was not worth the extra cost at all.

The shower was extremely slippery. With glass doors. It was so unsafe. This is the second time I’ve had this issue with a Marriott property. I stayed at the Sheraton in Anaheim last summer. The bathroom also had a glass door my arm went through the door and instead of being gracious and forgiving Marriott charged me $500 for breaking the glass. My husband slipped and fell at this property in San Jose upon exiting the shower. Disappointing Marriott does not understand.

Great location for sap events!

You could also hear everything in the restroom (if you know what I mean), which could be a bit embarrassing. Possibly due to the sliding glass door to the bathroom. Over all, the room was clean, had modern and minimal furniture. The staff were friendly and professional. A nice size bar with televisions was also available and open till 11pm on Friday & Saturday, 10pm other days.

It was great, everything was good up until the morning when they started knocking at our door an hour before check out. They wanted us to move our vehicle because there was I think a renovation going on. We got awaken by the lady knocking hour and a half before our alarm went off. Other than that it was all very good.

Supervisor Crystal (not sure of the spelling) provided horrible customer service. Checked us into a room with two queen needs when we booked a junior stuite with a King never mentioning it was different than what I booked. Then had to go back down to the registration counter where another employee had to ask Crystal for help and Crystal told the employee to move is to an executive king. The employee mentioned there would be no extra charge and I replied that I did not know the difference. Crystal heard this and moved closer to the employee and saying what I thought I heard her say standard king, but I brushed it off thinking I heard wrong. When we got to the new room, it was in fact a way smaller room but had a king. Again Crystal hadn’t mentioned anything about the difference or offer to compensate for the downgrade. When I returned downstairs Crystal was with another customer, so I asked the employee what her name and position was. When I found out she was the supervisor on for the shift, I decided I was not going to waste any more of my time with her. I will be reaching out to the general manager to make him aware of the situation. Worst experience ever; never have been treated so poorly at any other hotel.

This hotel is beautiful and in the center of downtown. The rooms are huge with great views. The pool and workout area is top notch. The bar was nice, however we didn't get to grab drinks since the bar was closed by 10pm. Also, there's no free breakfast which I was surprised by.
- 2/5
Discovered after booking that the hotel doesn’t have parking. When checking in they told us the next door public parking structure was $22 which would be collected when we left in the morning. But the parking people wanted $44 because at midnight it became another day! We complained and went to the hotel office and they told us they could charge us $30 instead. Wait, does the hotel own the parking structure? VERY SHADY! And the free breakfast was $18 per person!!! Never again!

- 5/5
We arrived a little early than the check-in time but the staff at the front desk were willing to let us check into our room, which was such a time saver! (We had a whole days worth of plans) We’ve stayed here before so we knew what to expect but, as always, our room was beautiful, neat, and clean. The fact that the rooms have wood floor just makes it feel even more clean. I have no complaints about noise considering we were pretty close to the freeway. We were there for the Niners game and it’s only about 10 minutes away. Other than that, we love the location because it’s close to bars, the train, and walking distance from the Hockey stadium if that’s what you’re going for.

The hotel was very clean staff very nice. Did not like the parking situation a total of $34 per day to park in the parking lot that is not attached to the hotel that was a big inconvenience plus you had to park on the third fourth and fifth level could not park on the other levels. The bed was too firm for me. The breakfast was very good.

Unfortunately my exeperinece with the management has overshadowed the actual hotel itself. The front desk was helpful during our stay and even let us keep our bags with them after check out for a couple hours so we didnt have to leave our luggage in the car. HOWEVER, we were automatically charged for in and out parking which we did not use. We left the car in the garage and paid the fee at kiosk. I called several times to dispute it and they said they would refund it after not even appoligizing for such inconvenience. Still havent received the refund and the manger seemed to just want to tell me why they charged me for a sevice I didnt use. Butbwhy would I lay for parking twice. This seems very crooked to me and that they were hoping I wouldnt notice charge. Because of this, I wouldnt stay there again eventhough I did enjoy the stay and other staff. This is just too sneaky to me and such a waste of time to be calling to get my money back.
- 3/5
This is nice if you are looking for BASIC amenities. All their "suites" and I use that term loosely( they are not even 1 bedrooms like they advertise- 1 small room)- are over the FREEWAY. I heard every single car. the room was bare and cold. I honestly felt like I was in a jail cell. I am sorry to be so blunt.

The walls were so thin I could hear every door open and shut in the night. It was tough to sleep. The hotel parking is on the 5th floor of the parking garage and I did not feel safe at night parking.

Nice hotel. The only staff we saw was 1 lady checking in. It was pretty much a ghost town. No one for valet and had to self park which is ok but how the parking lot is set up it's really hard to get your luggage to your car when checking out. The garage offers only stairs and it would be nice if there was an elevator to help get your luggage to the 3rd floor or a parking area on the outside to load your car back up. The beds were uncomfortable and the room was hot. We couldn't get the ac to work. I don't know if they put us in a room that wasn't great because I booked the room through Expedia and not direct.

We also brought our dog which was allowed and we were grateful for that - it was $50 extra. We will return to this hotel next year due to the location, the room, and staff.

Liked cleanliness and water stations to fill up water bottles. Didn’t like the bed. Too hard. Not happy with inconsistent information from front desk staff regarding paying for parking. I was charged for it before leaving even though I had been told to pay when leaving the garage. I had to ask about it when checking out. I also didn’t like that I was charged for my stay before I even got there when I was supposed to pay upon arrival. And why was I charged more than Expedia said it would cost?

All generally good except our 2 queen bed room had 2 glasses and 1 paper coffee cup........ Really! We had 3 people for the stay. It was New Year's Eve and we had really counted on have the hotel lounge open as stated, until 10:00 PM, so we could grab a decent bite of food and a cocktail after the 5:00 PM Sharks game. Closed because of some internet issue, or something? We really didn't want to drive anywhere or fight the Uber/Lyft scene on NYE.

If you actually would like a room at this hotel, don’t book here. They have a habit of overbooking, then telling guests upon arrival that they don’t have a room for them. It happened to me when I arrived for my stay on December 10, and it happened to a friend of mine a couple of weeks prior. The front desk people were incredibly rude as well. They curtly informed me that it was Expedia’s job to rebook me then just kind of stared at me. No apology, no offer to call around for alternate hotels, no asking if I wanted water or something while I tried to figure out my next move. I had to spend two hours on the phone with Expedia to find another room when I could have been enjoying time with my family (which was the point of the trip). Meanwhile, people who booked directly with the property were able to waltz up and check right in. Hey Marriott, if you don’t intend to give rooms to people who book 3rd party, don’t make contracts with 3rd party companies. It’s a big hassle for all of us and I’m pretty sure, in my state at least, it’s illegal.

We were given a room with buckled flooring. We didn’t realize why the floor was buckled until our toilet overflowed and water seeped up from the floor boards- obviously an ongoing problem. Maintenance was able to mop up the water nearing midnight but no other rooms were available apparently. We were left with a bathroom with towels piled on the damp floor, no slippers and no refund offered.
