The Marriott in downtown is nicely located - lots to do in the area and much of it within walking distance. Good amount of bars, both gay and straight, are just on the other side of the block. San Pedro Market Square is about a 10-15 minute walk . The hotel itself is decently appointed, pretty clean and not bad... More

I've been staying at the San Jose Marriott for the past 3 consecutive FanimeCons and I have to say - those poor elevators! The hotel itself is directly adjacent to the McEnery Convention Center, which for congoers is an ideal, ideal location. However, it also works against it, as there are times when the wait for an elevator can take... More

While the hotel is in a good location for attending an event at the convention center, you can do much better at the Hilton the Fairmont hotel. I have stayed at both repeatedly and enjoyed my stay every time. While attending an event with my daughter (and staying at the Marriott), I called down to the front desk at 2am... More

This hotel was nicely decorated, clean, and the staff was very helpful in finding touristy things to do or printing out directions. We stayed here for an event and found that everything we needed was in walking distance. One day, we rented a car and took a drive up into the redwood forests and the same day, went to the... More

The property is great and in a perfect location for us. The room was very nice but, unfortunately, lacked a refrigerator. Views were wonderful from the 15th floor and it was cool to watch planes come in for landing at San Jose Airport. Got an awesome rate for a Saturday night stay that included parking. I booked a room about... More

Got a very nice deal for the weekend. We actually arrived very early around 10 am, but were able to check in right away. Being a platinum member, we got upgraded to a nice suite on the 18th floor. Lot of windows makes the room look bigger. Room 1800 has beautiful views! Positives: smooth check in, free upgrade (didn't ask),... More

The hotel is located downtown next to a nice square, many restaurants, the convention center, IMAX theater and other attractions. The rooms are well appointed in traditional Marriott colors. ask for a room at the end of the hallway, as they have larger windows that go around the entire room. Reception staff and bellman are very professional and fast. My... More

Parking is 29.00 a day, and takes more then 20 minutes, for the staff to bring your car around. Plan for that. The rooms are very plain, nothing notable about them at all. There is no fridge and no microwave. The furniture looked, and felt cheap. The pool was small, and the black concrete tile around the pool got very... More

Just left the San Jose Marriott after a few days attending a conference. This hotel is very nice. The rooms seemed a bit nicer than the standard Marriott and felt close to JW level. The concierge lounge was nice and bright with good offerings. The hotel is actually connected to the San Jose Convention center. I ate in the restaurant... More
