Holiday Inn San Jose - Silicon Valley by IHG

5/5 Excellent

"The only bummer was that they charge for parking, a $50/day deposit and they don't accept Cash App or other prepaid cards for the deposit. I fault Hotels.com for that though. Why isn't deposit information listed? Otherwise, wonderful hotel, amazing and accommodating staff (Elizabeth and Gio were great and very helpful), and centrally located. "
