While there is coffee in the breakfast room 24/7, you often don’t want to schlepp all the way down after getting changed just for a cup of coffee. It would be nice if there was coffee maker in the room as in most motel rooms

Not up to par with Hilton brand standards. Hormone disrupting cheap room freshener smell to cover the smell of god knows what.

very sparkly new/clean. Night staff was a little odd- no one was at the desk when we arrived and 2 others and I had to wait quite a while for someone to return to check in. In our room was a table lamp with no bulbs so we went back down to request bulbs and were told we should change rooms instead. After waiting to check in after a long day, we were tired and didn't change rooms. Why not just give us bulbs, I don't know. No coffee maker in the room, oddly. Microwave and mini fridge were there- fine for me since I travel with tea bags. Breakfast was very very basic. Cold hard boiled eggs, 3 types of dry cereal, some bagels, and packages of oatmeal. Airport shuttle was the hotel ordering and paying for an Uber which was interesting but worked fine. This hotel was perfect for us since we weren't there long -- good value for a VERY clean good sized room without a lot of frills, but with a shuttle to SJC.

It took 20 min. to check in. The guy at the front couldn't figure out how to give us 2 rooms close together. Our 1st room smelled like urine. We went back and immediately asked for a different room. The next room didn't smell bad but didn't have that fresh clean smell. The breakfast was sparse. Hard boiled eggs that wouldn't peel. Funny tasting yogurt. We were there 3 days & they didn't come give clean towels or TP once. Don't stay here.

We knew the room was nice as we were here January 2025 but no hot food for breakfast. That was bad.
We were lucky we had Burger King right behind
Spark so we could have breakfast.
So I guess we’ll find another hotel next time.

The check in process was absolutely smooth! Giselle was super helpful to us. Love that the property checks in with you regularly via text message. Our stay was pleasant, close Levi stadium. Parking lot is pretty big. It is connected to burger king but still plenty of space to park. Clean & spacious rooms. House keeping was friendly and accommodating to our needs. Thank you for a great experience. You made traveling with children easier on us!

Room was decent. The reason for this rating is because of the airport shuttle offered. There is NO airport shuttle. Instead they just Uber, which is fine, but they only limit you to one trip. While the other surrounding hotels offer unlimited trip and a real shuttle. I wouldn't state that they offer airport shuttle when that is false. I will never book here again.

The AC/ Heat unit smelled as if someone had smoked in the room, staff said all rooms were nonsmoking and offered to change my room but after a full day of traveling and exhausted and settled for the night, I declined to move. Had a very early am flight only 3 hours in the room. Getting an Uber was fine, no issues and no extra expense to me! Staff was helpful, be prepared to leave a deposit after paying for the room!

First, they were having problems with their machines we didn’t get checked in till 430 then they sent us to the wrong room which we had to correct them. My husband is handicap and they sent us to the next building a lot of walking and other thing the towels are children’s size they don’t even go around you if you’re gonna give towels at size give two a piece there wasn’t an extra tall if I needed to wash my hair which I did and had to use a hand towel. And all the vending machines were literally emptied no one ever refilled. We were there four nights. It was a little disappointing compared to what the amenities actually said, and the pictures that they showed it doesn’t seem like you really want to accommodate the people that request certain rooms for certain reasons was very disappointed

The 2 rooms stank of body odor, the pipes were noisy, there were people going up and down the halls screaming. When we called the front desk to ask about ordering pizza for delivery we were told no one would deliver at night because the area was so dangerous. We were there 20 minutes and went to a different hotel. We tried to get our rooms credited but the front desk clerk couldn’t figure out how to take care of it so we are out for 2 rooms for 3 nights. The pictures online are not even close to what the property is.

We would not recommend staying at this location. Our experience was very bad and Hilton has not responded to my written concerns (initially sent a week ago). First, the person at reception did not know the price to leave our car parked there until we returned to SJC, and after several hours without a response we had to drive our car to another parking facility and take an Uber back to the hotel. Second, there was no one at reception in the morning when we needed to get to the airport for an early morning flight, so after 45 minutes of first calling (as instructed) and then going to reception, looking around, calling out, knocking on the staff door, and asking kitchen staff (who could also not find anyone either), we had to take an Uber to the airport. Finally, we were in a part of the hotel with a wedding party, and were awoken at midnight by the group in the hall in front of our room, talking loudly, with the door across the hall from us propped open with the TV on. We had to ask them to please be considerate of other guests.

We received excellent customer service from all employees we encountered but especially from all the house keeping members. All concerns were addressed and resolved in a timely manner. Location is convenient and easy to find. I felt very safe staying here and walking around the property at all times of the day. There is a Burger King in the same parking area which is convenient if you don’t want to drive anywhere for fast food. Will definitely stay here again.

This could have been a good stay if it were not for the fire alarm going off at 2:00am. Unfortunately there was no instruction as to whether we should evacuate or not. I looked down the hallway and saw no activity, no one. I called the front desk and the phone went unanswered. After numerous attempts to call the front desk there was an answer. I was told \"everything is OK, someone was smoking in a bathroom\". I don't' recall an apology for the inconvenience.

There are better hotels nearby. I feel like this use to be a rundown hotel. I feel like they just painted it and upgraded the furniture and put the Hilton name on it. But it still has that rundown hotel feel. The hallway smelled like marijuana. My room smelled like stale cigarettes smoke bad. The bathroom floor was dirty. Walking on the carpet in my room made my socks black immediately. The heat was off when I got to the room. It was freezing in there. The heater was noisy. The room was big and very wheelchair friendly. They had a nice shower bench. But the water in the bathtub was nasty yellow and had a weird smell. The soap was mounted to high to reach if you are in the tub. Not much parking and I was worried that the car might be broken into. Not in the best location. I feel like this is not up to the Hilton brand standards. And would not recommend staying there. It is ok if you are use to staying at sketchy roadside motels.

I feel i need some compensation for this booking. When i look at hotels to stay at I look for 2 specific things: a gym/fitness center and a pool. If both amenities are unavailable during my stay the hotel should contact the customer and let it be known AHEAD of time. I would have NOT stayed here if i knew their \"fitness center\" had only 2 machines and both were out of service. The pool was also closed for the last 24 hours we were there. Completely unacceptable to not let the guests know this information

The room was in good condition free of pests with hair dryer, iron, app tv, fridge, microwave and climate system. It was generally quiet and located in an industrial area. I slept well and found the bed and pillows comfortable. The staff was prompt and helpful. There was a bagel bar with instant oatmeal, yogurt, muffins, OJ and coffee or tea. Hard boiled eggs were also available. A microwave to heat the oatmeal would have helped but was not found.
A smoking area was in fro t of the hotel which was not pleasant. A better location should be found.
Probably great for smokers but not so great for others. A shuttle would have been nice but an uber ride was arranged from the airport.
