Top Lick Observatory Hotel Reviews

Sonesta San Jose - Milpitas

10/10 Excellent

"Very satisfied"

La Hacienda San Jose Silicon Valley

8/10 Good

"Good hotel. Rooms were spacious and bathrooms were renovated. The hotel and property are pretty big. I didnt walk around much but it felt big. Lobby was much bigger than most hotels. Overall the property and stay was very calm and quiet. Stayed for 2 nights and hardly saw anyone. Hotel is not close to much (shopping or food). I already knew that so it wasn't a problem. I was looking for something close in proximity to a specific venue for a wedding i was attending which this hotel provided. Hotel is older and it shows but it's not bad if you're not looking for something overly fancy or trying to be picky. The room was cleaned after my first night which I was not expecting but nice to see and come back to the next day. Free parking was great too. I would stay again."

Hilton San Jose

"The hotel was clean and the staff were helpful and friendly. Our room was spacious and well equipped and stocked. The beds were comfortable and quiet. The breakfast area was kept cleaned and had plenty of food. It was standard hotel hot breakfast and plenty of cold options as well. My only caveat was having to pay for parking. Otherwise we had a pleasant, quiet, stay. We'll probably stay here again."
