Uptown Oasis San Jose Airport
Staff was great, room was a little dingy. This hotel is still making a comeback and has a little way to go. I would not book here again unless it was an emergency.

Spark by Hilton San Jose Airport
The bathroom had strange stains all over, and the pillows had bad stains. Kids were running around the hotel, and I couldn’t sleep because of it. They’ve been doing this since 6 am, and the staff didn’t do anything about it or help us out

La Hacienda San Jose Silicon Valley
The room was neglected. No room service for the 4 days/3 nights we spent there. The internet was very bad.The desk chair which was black was so dirty, even I could not sit on it, with stains as old as forever.
