Hilton Garden Inn San Jose Airport City Mall
We stayed the night before our departure. Located close from the airport and right next to the mall. We enjoyed their buffet style breakfast. The shuttle takes you to the airport every 30 minutes which was very convenient for us since we didn’t have a car.
