Hilton Garden Inn San Jose Airport City Mall

"Stayed only for one night just since it was close to the airport and majority of the trip we were 3-4 hours away from airport. Very spacious room, very clean and well maintained. Staff was nice. Had a grill and bar (did not try). On the 2nd floor had access straight to the mall so great for convenience. Hotel also offered free shuttle service to the airport."

Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Great location close to airport but you do get plane and some outside noise. Staff was great, room was good size, clean and functional. Breakfast was ok, not great as hot food variety was limited. But that’s nothing unusual. Overall enjoyed the stay and would recommend for anyone looking for a reasonable functional hotel close to airport."
