Top California Theater Hotel Reviews

Hotel De Anza by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are the highlight of this hotel. Most of the hotel is under going renovation so it’s difficult to truly give an accurate review. The rooms are clean and things are in working order. I would definitely stay here again."

Sonesta Select San Jose Airport

8/10 Good

"Pros: nice shower, comfy bed, lots of outside room to sit, convenient parking, elevator, nice staff, convenient location, near restaurants/food, mostly quiet, nice room layout with sofa Cons: one of my bathroom towels was obviously dirty with some wort of sticky substance on it. The water pressure in the shower was weak. The sink was always backed up."

Hotel Clariana

8/10 Good

"The staff was super friendly and the location is convenient, though there was significant street noise on Friday night even on the 5th floor. We are heavy sleepers so it wasn’t an issue for us. Bathroom was very clean and spacious- one of the better hotel bathrooms I’ve had at this price range! Bed was comfortable but pillows too big. Coffee pods were not replenished and dirty cup was left, but towels were changed and bed was kind of made. Fitness room has a good selection of free weights and two benches, no weight machines, two treadmills and a recumbent bike. Breakfast was passable."

San Jose Marriott

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect , staff was great and room was very clean in perfect conditions"

Convention Center Inn and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and clean room. Staffs are so helpful and friendly. The location is very convenient to get around the town."

The Flamingo Motel

10/10 Excellent

"The toilet seat had a small black mark. It was very warm inside the room even thought the outside was cool. There were many eateries nearby. TV remote was difficult to operate, but I don't have a TV."
