Top California Theater Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place San Jose/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The front desk staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The rooms were comfortable, and the breakfast was one of the best I’ve ever had at a hotel."

Convention Center Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here overnight after going to a concert at the San Jose Civic. Trusted the spectacular reviews and was not disappointed. The room was clean and spacious, the property was immaculate, great coffee machine in the lobby, and probably the most comfortable hotel bed I’ve ever slept in. Top it off with free parking, say less. The manager – I really wish I could remember his name – was super friendly and helpful with directions and restaurant choices. Honestly can’t think of a negative thing to say about this place. Next time I’m in town, no question I’m staying here."

Hotel Clariana

8/10 Good

"Everything was fantastic and clean. The snacks were even super affordable! The charge for overnight parking was a bit steep especially since I was a guest for >24hrs Amenities were fine, but def bring your own stuff like shampoo and soap. THE room was good for an overnight stay. I stayed for a concert at SAP and it’s about a 20 min walk. I had a overall great experience and would stay again"

Hilton San Jose

10/10 Excellent

Timeless Tudor With Game Rooms & Hot Tub!

10/10 Excellent

"A beautifully restored Tudor home! We enjoyed everything about our stay & are looking forward to our next visit to!! Thank you!"

Remodeled Spanish Bungalow Suite • Short Walk to SJSU + Parking

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect little stay for me and my pooch. Quiet & clean, nice kitchenette area. The only thing missing is a bathroom sink with mirror. There’s nowhere in the bathroom to wash your face, brush your teeth, put on makeup and get ready for your day. There is a full length mirror, which is great. Cute little sitting outdoor area for morning coffee or afternoon cocktail. One great thing, it’s in a gated area with a very small yard so my dog could be safely contained outside, and it’s private. "
