Beautiful, comfortable, modern high rise hotel in the center of San Jose The San Jose Marriott is the epitome of why the Marriott brand is so popular with many travelers, including myself! The hotel is immaculate and well maintained It offers all the amenities and services you expect from a top notch Marriott Hotel

This was my first visit to San Jose and the Marriott Hotel Needless to say, I was impressed with both! The hotel has a perfect, central location to numerous events, restaurants, shopping and entertainment options My guestroom was very comfortable, quiet and clean All of my interactions with hotel associates was very pleasant I was very impressed with the front desk personnel, restaurant servers and the housekeeping staff on the 21st floor! As a Bonvoy member and frequent Marriott guest, I highly recommend the San Jose Marriott Hotel!

Brian Siefkes

Unbelievable I valet parked with them during my stay I was leaving the hotel for dinner and saw my car parked on the side walk

I checked and it was unlocked Nobody was around and I figured they must be in process of moving things around After picking up my car the next day, I found my storage console completely empty Awesome With all the bums in the area the least you could do is lock my car if you have to park it on the street

Chris Huber

There were a few staff standouts (Matt in Valet and Lambert at the Front Desk) that deserve five stars for their efforts, however the hotel itself was lacking Elevators were slow causing huge lines in the lobby Staff didn’t seem to have any answers as to whether some were out of service or under repair

First world problem maybe, but still a major painInternet was abysmal Major tech town and Marriott still wants to throttle speeds down to nothing Even the TV took forever to load a showPool is a 3 1/2′ deep kiddie wading pool Not what we expectedRooms are small, with no sitting area and not enough space for two adults to setup their laptops to work

I’ve stayed at many Marriott’s in the US and overseas

For the most part, I believe that this chain hotel does their very best and has many elegant and high-end locations Just like any other chain restaurant/hotel however, some locations just fall through the cracks So, my my 2-cents is don’t judge Marriott’s overall performance and quality by this particular locationPros:1) Within walking distance to a mall and Movie Theater2) Short commute to work3) Nice courtyard with a pool (No jacuzzi)4) The workout room is larger in size and well equippedCons:1) Parking lot security is non-existent Some thief went through my vehicle Nothing was stolen because it was a rental and I had very little personal property in there anyways2) Showers are terrible; the water pressure was very low and the showerhead is poor quality3) The Coffee maker is very poor quality I had to the hit the button several times just to fill one cup up4) No room service There is only a bar at the lobby and snacks at the lobby counter area The hours of operation of the bar were only in the morning and evening Those hours were very unreliable Many times they closed early due to “staffing” So all your left with are tv dinners from the front counter (microwave is only in the lobby, not in the rooms)5) Housekeeping only occurs once every 3 days If its missed because of a Do Not Disturb sign on one day, then you got to wait until the next cycle (unless of course you call and make a special request)6) There is a small fridge in the room but its not very cold and there is no freezer section7) Laundry is done by coin operated machines by the lobby ($5 in quarters plus cost of soap) My advice is to go to a executive cleaners just 5m down the road

Adam Denter

I have stayed in worse in the SJC area How much hair in the shower from previous guests is too much? When I see dirty bathroom facilities it makes me wonder what else is being missed on cleaning between guests This shower had long hairs wrapped around the included soap dispensers, pubic looking hairs stuck to the side, and what I imagine was the stubble from someone shaving their face on the little lip

I like the Courtyard chain because they usually have better housekeeping When I mentioned the state of the shower to the FDC she at least responded with an ok but otherwise didn’t seem too surprised to hear it

Greg Roskos

This has become my go to Marriott property in the San Jose area for work Good parking situation, not directly on a busy road Plenty of parking too

Always clean and well maintained Great rooms Friendly staff And fantastic rates Highly recommendUpdate 3/2022Still one of my favorite Marriott properties Highly recommend to anyone traveling to the Milpitas/San Jose area!

One of the best stay experiences I’ve ever had! The rooms are of decent size with all the basic necessities anyone would need People can pick the room they prefer, from a list of available rooms! I really like that they have a clean only when asked policy to respect the guests privacy So, the cleaning staff would only come when you ask them to

I had breakfast included with the stay Good options including eggs, sausages, cereals, yogurt, waffles (with toppings) and a few other things The staff is friendly which adds to the positive experience The amenities include an in-house gym and pool table that’s accessible throughout the day

Susie Stoddard

Pros- Nice large rooms with kitchenette-Good hot breakfast, that the staff keeps very sanitary- close the the highway

Cons- The worst bed I have ever slept on I’ve never experienced a lumpy mattress before this weekend and it made for a crummy nights sleep AND the bed was 4 inches lower on the right side which made you feel like you were falling off- no hot tub- starting July 1, 22′ they charge $10 a night parking- must request room cleaning serviceI don’t post reviews normally, but we liked this hotel and the amount of space you get in the room, but there was some disappointing aspects that I wish we had known before that I wanted to share

Richard Thornton

The room and the staff were very accommodating The check in process was very simple and they were able to get it done quickly The location is not the best, it is quite a ways away from the center of San Jose, but it is definitely quiet and you won’t be bothered staying this far out

I was able to do a late checkout with no issue and they were happy to accommodate the request Large rooms with a kitchenette that has an apartment sized fridge and even a stovetop if you’re staying for an extended period of time this is very convenient I was unable to try the free breakfast, but they are serving it at the moment

I travel for work, and this is probably one of my top 2 or 3 overnight locations This is a fantastic property for a variety of reasons1

They are one of the few Marriott properties that “get” coffee–fresh brewed, self-serve, and it is usually out around 4:30 am SCORE!!2 The gym is phenomenal for a hotel gym Lots of capacity, great equipment, and they stock it with bottled water3 Speaking of water, thank you for bringing back the 16 ounce bottles of water4 The bar area is a really cool vibe with outdoor seating The menu is good enough for a hotel The drinks are a little on the expensive side but otherwise, huge win here, as well5 The M Club lounge is still operating under limited hours but the breakfast is very good, the lounge is a wonderful place to hang out, and the coffee/espresso machine is really nice

Bill Howard

It is a lovely hotel with spacious rooms, very close to The Great America amusement park and Levi Stadium home of the 49ers football team Lots of rooms, plenty of parking, some nearby restaurants and of course the hotel has a reasonable room service menu Although pricey, not ridiculously expensive

A full bar in the lobby and a roomy gym covered everything I needed A large pool and hot tub are perfect for relaxing after a long day

Brynn Johnson

The staff at this hotel is what makes it great They are all super helpful and friendly They really make it an inviting place to be

It was incredibly crowded and busy, but still, every single staff member I interacted with was kind and warm Wonderful experienceThe rooms are clean, comfortable and appointed simply, but well A little loud on the freeway side but my room on the 14th floor had an expansive view and I love that there was a small balconyThe cheese and fruit platter was a nice touch, and beautiful, but I didn’t want any and I felt awful wasting so much food I tried to save it for mornng but the fridge was too small to hold the platter So I tried to rearrange it to fir but I eventually just placed it outside my door because the smell was so strong The amenity is a nice thought, thoughOverall a really clean, comfortable place to stay

You will love this hotel! I consider myself a seasoned traveler, having traveled the country for my previous job and staying in numerous hotels This hotel has some of the best water pressure you can imagine, I absolutely loved my showers there! The staff was super nice and greeted us each time we entered or left, everywhere I had seen in the hotel was clean and well lit, and the room was great and spacious We were even on the 11th floor, which gave us a great view! We couldn’t have been happier with our stay

We will stay here again when we find ourselves back in San Jose!

Jess V

We stayed in a room with a double queen on the 9th floor It was not spacious but not completely cramped The pool is nice on the 3rd floor next to the fitness room which has a restroom

The food at the lounge was delicious We had a big party and the waitress was very attentive They changed to large screen TV to the main basketball game upon request as we were the only filled tables watching the game They were able to make a special request for a dietary restriction that would seem strange It was overall a good place to stay

angel Ck

It was a comfortable stay No problems checking in Room is clean and spacious

Mini fridge, iron with ironing board, combo safe and a keurig coffee machine I like that it has a reading light on each side of the bed Also their restaurant downstairs is very convenient to have a drink or a meal Only had one very minor issue, that there was only one paper cup and three towels A large one and two small face towels to be exact

Extremely concerning

first and foremost they double charged me and when I asked the staff they could not resolve or explain why one of their employees charged me twice for a 1 night stay I’m stuck waiting for them to call me back and HOPE they refund me the unauthorized transactionSecond, we stayed here because it’s hot in San Jose and we were drawn by the picture of the pool The pool does not work, it’s filthy, and they didn’t even bother to put up a sign or alert us when booking the reservation We had to find out once we got there and we inquired about the pool We saw many others go up to the pool just to be disappointedLastly, everything is an additional charge When I stay at a Sheraton I am aware I am paying extra for a room for the amenities not expecting to get charged additional fees for everything little thing Parking is $12 a night Which I still don’t know if it’s a valid chargeNever staying here again and would not recommend No hand soap in the bathroom (during COVID-19) and the carpets were stained and dirty

Gmc S.

Bedding was fine The carpet was dirty, my toddler kept finding food from previous renter Faucet in the bathroom was broken so we had to use the water in the shower

Floor in the bathroom was not cleaned at all We had to use water from our water bottle to brush our teeth Window didn’t have screen so we had flies and mosquitoes come in upon our arrival We had to use the door of the lobby to get to our unit Door closes to us closed at a certain time Parking lot is super dark It was so inconvenient I wouldn’t get a room here again if you ask me Didn’t want to waste our time calling the front We just needed a place to crash for 2 days before heading to San Diego

Rania Shehadah

This review is for a stay and event coordination by Carlos Pimentel and his entire team I had the pleasure of throwing my Bridal Shower at the Sheraton Hotel and we could not be any happier with the service, food, cleanliness, and amazing customer service Carlos blew it out of the ballpark with his work ethic and service to ensure we had the best time ever

Also, the food was amazing and the hotel rooms are always so clean and so spacious We highly recommend this hotel for a stay or your next event!

Andrew Gin

Great new hotel! Located in a more business park area, nice and quiet This is a beautiful property and when we stayed felt like it had just opened in the best way Patricia at the front desk helped us out and was SO nice and friendly

She made us feel welcomed and let us know about the amenities of the hotelRooms are so beautiful Very modern without being space age or cheesy Elegant furnishings that look like they’ll hold up The direction hotels should be heading Most comfortable Marriott bed I’ve slept in! Rooms have giant mirrors in the entryway and the bathrooms are a great size with a waterfall head shower with a handheld unit tooThey offer a full breakfast in the lobby in the morning which we did not actually try due to our plans but it’s nice to know it was there as an option The property shares it’s grounds with another adjoined hotel called Tetra which offers a fast coffee option and a Japanese whiskey bar The bar had great drinks that were affordable for the area

Rhonda Burns

Beautiful modern design and finishes Very clean room with excellent toiletries providedOne downside was the bathroom area

The door looks like a design from a restroom The door doesn’t go to the ceiling nor to the floor If you were here for a romantic stay, this would be a deal breaker There is no privacyAnother downside was there is no menu in the room for what’s offered in the bar nor the $18 (!) buffet breakfast

Xiaotong Yang

Very new hotel Clean with sophisticated decor The rooms are large and comfortable

The pool deck is modern but the pool is too small (about the size of half a hotel room) During our visit, a family with 5 kids took it over I’m glad they had fun but disappointed that we weren’t able to use it at all Would be nice if the hotel could have a courtesy rule for limiting pool usage of one party to 30-60 mins if there are other guests waiting, or have adult-only hours

Hendrik

The only real reason to select this hotel is the really good breakfastEverything else is on the level of a 2 star hotel:lousy WLANno HBOno free water and if asked for at the front desk they state that free water is only available for prime members ( room cost north of $300 per night – well

hard to include free water yes great management decision)Door lock of the room door took more than 24 hours to get fixedno free parkingRoom service only every third daySo over all a pretty bad decision to stay here Well: Staff is friendly, room is clean and tidySo it seems that the bad decisions are top down not bottom upFor me clear: avoid if possible

Dainton Thorne

I stayed at this hotel for a week I was not expecting they got an excellent interior The dining area was spacious

The lounge bar serves good mixed drinks I could ask for more! I will definitely be going to save this hotel’s contact number for reservations I will bring my family and relatives here for sure They well enjoyed this awesome place

Our preferred place to stay when visiting the Bay Centrally located w access to restaurants, retail stores, Great America, and Levi Stadium Service is genuine and efficient, and the facilities are well managed

Rooms could use a face-lift but it serves its purpose It’s clean and comfortable The mini fridge and microwave is convenient, and there’s ample closet and drawer space Good for families or the business traveler There is a restaurant on site but serves only breakfast; continental and cook to order eggs, omelets

Paul Taylor

I’m miffed by the attitudes of the ladies at the front desk at this hotel Example- I asked for a water, the response was her asking my room number, and then a rude “normally you would ask for this when you check in, but I will give it to you this time” A case of water costs around $4, which means the water was approximately

16 to 25 cents a bottle I’m a diamond member ( big deal, I know) , and “normally” I’m given a water bottle or 2 happily by the front desk attendants at the other Hilton hotels I stay at on a very regular basis Normally, we are given daily room service Normally, our rooms are clean when we arrive Normally there’s a bartender at the lounge when the hotel advertises evening bar hours Normally, we are treated nicely when we have a simple request-and, normally, I would never take the time to write a review In these days of getting much less from the hotels than we pay for, it seems like a 25 cent bottle of water would be an easy win… I know- operations have changed due to Covid Time to move on, this excuse is getting way to old- we all know why the services have been cut How about investing all the money being saved in some simple guest courtesy coaching classes?????

C.Q. The Great

There is nothing terrible about this place, but it clear that this is an older facility that had a remodel at some point Unfortunately, the remodel is showing its ageFitness center feels like an afterthought

It is half the size of a basic room One is literally a crowd On top of that the room is further cut down in size because it is a pass through to the pool and “staff only” areas so wet feet and constant door opening is a regular occurrence It’s a shame considering how big this place is and the room they have knock down a wall or twothough, conveniently located to anything you could want for a short stay

I want to be clear that this is not a bad hotel by any means Certainly not a hotel horror story you hear about At the same time, I was slightly disappointed based on the reviews I had read, so I thought I would post

To start, I thought based on the pictures online that a “premier room with balcony”, would have a room overlooking the pool, or a hood view of the town at least based on the pictures I saw online My room overlooks the parking lot, freeway, and a strip mall across the street Not a huge thing, but somethingThe jacuzzi was down when I was there Not hot, no bubbles Again, not a game changer, but just something And when I did visit the pool, there were people present who were glaring at me and my son We didn’t feel comfortable or welcomed and so we left that area Again, not something to make a big deal of, I could have said something and didn’t But somethingI think a fair comparison in any hotel review is a Motel 6 Everyone has stayed at a Motel 6 before You know what you’re getting into with a Motel 6 – cheaper, pretty bare bones, nothing to write home about, someplace (usually safe) you can lie your head at night There are better places, equal to, and worse places to stay than a Motel 6… I feel like my experience here has been equal to a Motel 6 Which I don’t think is a slam (again, not a bad experience), but also, just a very average hotel stay when I definitely paid what I think was premier hotel pricing I had to pay for overnight parking, which I didn’t see advertised anywhere, and I was even told upon check-in that housekeeping is only coming to rooms once every three days I’m sure that is a cost-saving measure at this point, but those cost savings are not being reflected in the pricePerhaps I’m being slightly unfair in that I didn’t speak with staff before writing this I’m not sure what they could have done though short of reducing the price, which I’m not sure is a fair ask They can’t change the view off my balcony or make people not look at me And again, it’s not a BAD hotel All the staff have been great I just thought I should write something though since I do use reviews myself when picking a hotel

Otto Weirich

AMAZING STAFF, I was staying here for work and long story short there was an issue in my room and all of the staff did an amazing job taking care of me and even upgrading my room for the inconvenience I wish I knew the names of the other employees but Erin the general manager runs a great hotel with a great team I don’t think I have ever been treated so well staying at a hotel than they did here

The rooms were super clean, and looked great They have a bar and small dining area serving breakfast lunch and dinner with a wonderful bar tender I will always choose this place when staying in the area again Thanks Erin and team!

The room wasn’t fully cleaned Notes from someone’s take out order left on the dresser Garbage in the hallway sitting for hours

The hot tub wasn’t heated Refrigerator in the room didn’t work The free breakfast area was closed They just had a few items in a basket with an empty coffee container There’s an extra cost for everything $12 a day for parking with signs everywhere saying they’re not responsible if anything happens to your car So obviously things are happening to the cars

I think the hotel is quite cleanBut they are short on staff Most of time when I go to the front desk, I don’t see any staff there and I have to wait few minutes

They have a nice seating area in the lobby which I like it a lot So I have four star

Our baseball team stayed here for a weekend tournament I love Aloft hotels for their style and comfort The room was nice and clean

Hotel gyms are my jam, this one was pretty well appointed The son and I went down to do weights The only issue was the water dispenser was empty I would have liked a weight machine that would work legs as well, but we made due The lobby was great for the team to gather The boys played pool We had pizza delivered and enjoyed the live music The staff was friendly and accommodating

It’s okay hotel with convenient locationOverall room is comfy and tidy It’s a compact size with good layout

Few things to remind when getting a room here, 1) no microwave in room, 2) need to tell them about room service if staying multiple nights 3) sometimes they forget so need to remind them next day 4) parking is bit tricky some nights

Very modern hotel with a decent view (if you get the right side of the building) The room felt small at first but once you get used to it, it’s a real nice experience TVs we’re accessible with any HDMI ports (my switch came in clutch)

My biggest complaint was the live band in the lobby It was way to loud but once you leave the lobby area you don’t hear it (except if you got a room on the first floor)Worth the money, close to good restaurants, friendly staff and a cool look to the hotel Give it a try!
