Detailed Reviews
Hotel's Favourite
New favorite. Beautiful, sophisticated style elevating what we already know from the AC brand. Super clean and in a very walkable neighborhood with lots of dining and shopping. I'm sad I forgot to write this review immediately as I have forgotten names. The woman at the front desk was awesome. Very courteous and helpful in providing recommendations of things to see and do. Her suggestion of the J LOHR tasting right before my evening flight was perfection. The hotel bar fare is typical AC, but the bartender was fantastic. Another super helpful team member that knew how to make a tasty old fashioned.

lisarC8790YQ, thank you for sharing your delightful experience at the AC Hotel Santa Clara. We couldn't be happier to hear that you enjoyed the hotel's distinctive style and pristine setting in our vibrant neighborhood. Our colleagues aim to deliver memorable and helpful service, and it sounds like they hit the mark during your stay. We appreciate your recognition of their efforts, particularly in advising on local delights. We trust the J LOHR tasting was the perfect pre-flight treat. We look forward to welcoming you back for yet another splendid stay and perhaps another well-crafted old fashioned at our bar.

What a fantastic property. And while it runs in the mid-$300 during the week (plus), on the weekends, the rates drop to about $100. All in it is easily one of my new favorite domestic hotels.
The staff are fantastic. The front desk is warm and personable, the bartender helpful and friendly.
Had a king corner room, which was worth it. Huge windows, an incredibly comfortable bed, easy/fast wifi, a really nice rainfall head shower + additional faucet, wonderful bath amenities, storage and plugs where you needed them. The room really was perfect, it also was spotless.
On top of that, breakfast at USD16 was an incredible value and delicious. Lots of dishes and beverages and they will bring you two dishes from the kitchen too. The eggs from the kitchen were some of the best I've ever had anywhere. It was by far, the best value and taste I've ever had a hotel breakfast.
All in all this property is fantastic, especially on weekends, when rates are low. I hope to return here someday.
One minor note, I did hear freeway noise but it was very soft. Also, parking is $18 a night, but there is free street parking right in front of the hotel, as long as your car is under 21 feet long. Not a ton of spots, but I had no problem finding one.

Rooms were newer, clean, and spacious. The shower was a good size with an additional rain shower option in the ceiling. The toilet area itself had a glass door that did not extend all the way to the ceiling, but I did not feel that was an issue. The furniture and bed that were displayed on their website is exactly what you got (not enhanced photos). The room had a small refrigerator, but the in room safe did not work due to a low battery issue. The lobby area / bar was large and nice. Breakfast offered a great selection for a “Free Continental Breakfast”. All the hotel staff appeared friendly, attentive, and offered excellent customer service. There was additional $18 a day fee for parking. The hotel itself was close to Fleming’s Steak house and Levi’s Stadium. It should be noted that if you are attending Levi’s stadium the Hilton Hotel is closer. I found that getting transportation after an event at the stadium was difficult.

I stayed here for a weekend visit to San Jose and Palo Alto. It was very new and close to the freeways. Rooms configuration was such that there's not distinct separation of the bathroom, though they did have doors for the toilet and shower. I liked the lighting in the room as it was bright and very customizable. The bed was comfortable as well. There was a small sitting area and work area that I also used while watching TV and doing some work on my laptop.

First of all, this is a fairly new and nice hotel. I’m a lifetime Gold Bonvoy member, and I’ve stayed at Marriott hotels around the world. BUT, whoever thought this bathroom design is a good one, needs their head examined. There is absolutely no privacy between the bathroom and the bed area. My wife and I have been married for over 30 years, so no secrets, but some privacy while going to the bathroom or showering is kind of nice. This property gets an F for that. We most certainly will not stay at this place again. I’ve stayed at other AC’s, the last one in Portland, but none are like this one. My guess is that building 2 walls totaling 15 lineal foot, and of course a door, would have added X$ to the cost of each room. Life in the 21st centrist, I suppose. Insert rolling eyes here___

We were in town to attend an NFL game at Levi Stadium and this hotel was the perfect place to stay. The hotel lobby is very inviting however the staff makes this place score high points. Our room was well appointed with contemporary décor. What I loved most was the floor lighting in the bathroom. Since your room and bathroom flow together seamlessly when getting up in the middle of the night the motion sensors under the bathroom counter light up without the need to cut on the overhead lights while still half sleep. The workout facility is small however they do have peloton bike you can use which was a plus. On our way to the game Sunday we were able to store our luggage until we return which was extremely helpful. When we returned from the game the bar was open and the lobby was overflowing with game fans which made a good atmosphere for an avid football fan.
Just a side not if you are attending a football game at Levi stadium. We took an Uber down to the stadium but we missed the designated Uber lot once we exited the game. Due to the way the traffic flows on the surrounding streets after the game it is impossible to catch a ride share. We ended up walking back to the hotel afterwards and actually the walk was pleasant. The hotel is well within walking distance for anyone in average shape. We will return to this property the next time I’m in the area.

Had a pleasant stay. Checked in early and very nice new contemporary room. We were there for an event and the stadium was only 2 miles away. The room we were given was in the 2nd and facing freeway. The room is contemporary and looks like a new building. No noise issues at all.
1st day there we went to pool which is small but no one got in except for us to. Bring your swimwear if you want to take a dip in the pool depending on weather. They have plenty of pool chairs.
If you need a snack or beverage, they sell items right behind check in. They sell, cold coffees, beers and chips. You either pay up front or charge it to room.
On game night of levi stadium, their bar was open late for post game beverages. They have a variety of beverages at their bar including mixed drinks. We enjoyed the patio lounge furniture outside straight ahead from main entrance and very social crowd.
Excellent customer service, amenities and pleasant staff.

My office is very close by so this is the preferred hotel when we come into the office. I've stayed at AC Brand hotels a few times and like them. This hotel was great. Front desk staff extremely nice and helpful! Great lobby bar with a very talented mixologist, was not expecting that in a hotel bar! Breakfast was included in my rate and was super healthy and very tasty. Choice of a healthy egg entree with a breakfast buffet filled with healthy options including yogurt, fruit, juices and whole grain breads.
My room was super spacious with a king size bed and a large banquette type couch. A nice desk area with lots of light. My bathroom was a completely closed space, but a colleague had a completely open bathroom with frosted shower and toilet doors which I thought was strange and probably not the best if traveling with kids or with family.
I was on the freeway side of the building and was not bothered by the noise of the road, but another colleague was, so if you are sensitive to noise, ask for a room on the other side of the building.
Thanks for a great stay! Will be happy to come back.

Very happy with our stay. Family of 4 in town to visit Santa Clara University. This location is 15 minutes away from SCU and San Jose Airport. The hotel property is new, clean, and well maintained. The modern and clean lines were very aesthetically pleasing. The lobby bar and restaurant were nice but limited in food options. The breakfast buffet was also well stocked and can be taken to go which was very convenient. Attached ample parking, $21 daily. The room was a bit small but reall enjoyed the large wall windows and hardwood floor. The service was good. They acknowledged my Platinum status and received a welcome gift (credit at the bar) and 4pm check out. Room service was not offered.
Very happy with our stay, would recommend and return.
