I love this place ! I would not say any were else. the prices change in the middle of the week that makes it hard to keep your week end rate but othere then that its THE BEST.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by bulgaria1 make sure and get the new rooms...
there are two parts to the place...old and new. I stayed in the old and the rooms are decent but falling apart. The electric sockets don't work, the door trim is falling off and overall, the old part is in need of a major renovation. If you have an opportunity, tell the hotel you want to stay in the new part.
If your a priority reward member, don't expect to much. I received 2 bottles of water...yee haa!

The staff was very friendly and courteous. The shuttle service came and picked us up at the airport after their services had ended.

Everyone I encountered at this property was helpful and friendly. So appreciate that!
My only complaint is the gym smelled really bad which made it hard to work out in there. I propped the door open to get some fresh air each day but it needs some new carpet or a heavy dose of Febreeze!

My husband and I stayed here on 3/4 and again on 3/12/13. As a priority club member, I try to get Holiday Inn Express as a stay when possible. On the 4th of March, I called the hotel from the airport to ask where I should wait for the shuttle. The gentleman I first spoke with wouldn't tell me where to catch the shuttle until I got my bags and called him back. I knew my bags would be there as this was a direct flight. Anyway, after that everything else went well. When I returned from vacation on 3/14, I noticed a $10 charge on my credit card which I did not make. I called the hotel and they said this would be credited back to me in a couple of days. The room was comfortable, the bed was comfortable and breakfast was ample. I would stay here again. I received 2 bottles of water for recognition as a Priority Club member. In Tucson, I get cookies and other snacks as well as water. So, that is just a suggestion I would give the management at this hotel.

Hotel is clean and quiet. Staff is very helpful. Breakfast begins on a high note much due to Lily who prepares and maintains the breakfast area. She does such a nice job and makes everyone feel welcome with her cheerful smile and helpfulness.
Thanks!

Your staff is fantastic. They were flexible in shuttling me back and forth to my office at Gateway Place. The night audit staff printed my documents when the toner ran out of the business center computer. Both of the supervisors were friendly and helpful. Your property is clean and nice, but your staff makes it a five star destination. Thank you.

Good room, quiet and clean. Breakfast was good for a quick getaway. Need to have more choices for diabetic.
Parking never a problem and access to the area transportation / freeway very good. Shuttle to the airport always a plus.
Service was above average and responsive to any request!.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by Pjdaiz Stayed at much nicer HI Express
I stayed for one night at the San Jose Airport HI Express last week, and was very unimpressed. I was coming from San Luis Obispo, where I stayed at anotehr HI Express that was top notch. The HIE at San Jose had tv channels that would go in and out of reception, with only about 4 or 5 channels that came in 100% of the time. The rooms were designed very oddly. I had a couch, which would've been great for watching TV on, but the tv was in an armoire and you wouldn't be able to watch the tv from the couch...poor design. The hotel itself seemed very old. The hallways reminded me of an asylum hall, with sterile walls, bland carpeting, and an odd odor.
My stay wasn't all bad however. The room istelf was clean, and the bed was very comfortable. To stay for one night, wasn't bad, but if I had to stay there for more than a few nights, I would have quickly found another HI Express to stay in.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by nylan23 good location and nice hotel
Prime location just minutes away from sjc airport with free airport shuttle. Front desk staff were really friendly and helpful with dinner recommendation . Rooms are just what the average traveling buisness person needs, my room had a mini fridge and microwave which is hard to find in other hotels. With this great experience I will be staying here more frequently!!!!

The location was close to the San Jose airport but this hotel is in need of an update. The rooms are tiny, dark and tingy. I would not stay here again.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by Driven2Succeed Great value on a tight budget
The location, ample free parking, free internet & breakfast and easy to book on line makes this hotel my first choice each time I travel! The great value allows me to travel with comfort/ease while being on a tight budget. The comfort of the room which includes a sofa, microwave and mini refrigerator are the added bonus which will keep me coming back to Holiday Inn! The staff were very friendly and helpful from the front desk to the breakfast staff! Thank you!

Did not recognized gold level priority club member. Older hotel, not like the other Holiday Inn Expresses, small lobby. Room had a view of a another building located a mere few feet away, and our window lined up perfectly with the other buildings hallway window. Left our camera in the room on the kitchen counter, as soon as we landed we called the hotel to get the camera, but it just happened to be gone. Nothing like thieves at housekeeping to start your vacation. Never again!

Old property
room smells
mattress and pillows are flat and worn
Poor customer service
Not worthy of being a Holiday Inn property
OVERPRICED
A bottle of water was the only recognition for being a Platinum member
Never stay there again!!!!!!

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by Tnk35 Never again!!!
As an elite Priority Club member I spend many nights in a hotel room, usually in a HIE when possible. I often stay at the same hotel for several weeks in a row and not once have I ever felt like I'd overstayed my welcome until I had my brief encounter with the manager of this hotel.
I was about to log my 35th night at this hotel when I received a call from Tony (the hotel manager) informing me that my room needed to be inspected due to the fact that it hadn't been cleaned in 2 weeks. When I informed him that my room had been cleaned 4 days ago and it gets cleaned every Monday his reply was, "it needs to be cleaned at least every 7 days" and threw in "we're not that type of hotel". Long story short - Tony informed me that this hotel is for "short term guests" and "it's not a transient hotel".
I walked away feeling very frustrated, unwelcome and thankful I was checking out in a few days. My experience with the polite and helpful front desk staff is overshadowed by a rude and condescending manager. I will NEVER stay here again!

I have been staying at this property for 6 years now and would highly recommend this property. The staff is always friendly and helpful with any needs. I typically leave early in the mornings for work so I don't participate in the breadfast so I can't comment of this aspect of the property. The rooms are always clean and appropriately furnished.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by cadellowe Seemed off this time
I've stayed at this property three times, and this time something was definitely off. While a Priority Club elite member, our reservation was not prepared at check in. Only after a quick glance did the desk clerk hand me two bottles of water with the keys, no other acknowledgement nor any recognition of having stayed there a few times prior.
Room was fine; still don't know why the AC fan can't be turned on to run and aerate even without cooling. Clean, decent housekeeping, small maintenance oddities like torn wallpaper in bathroom and bad door seal though the place was recently remodeled.
Breakfast was a major disappointment. Cold coffee, nobody on staff maintaining the room, lack of seating. Well below standards.
Hot tub was broken as well. And extremely odd pool hours; 9:30 pm close?
Overall disappointing and would recommend something different in the area.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by gajohnso55 Not worth the money at all, and poor service.
I travel a fair amount for business and always stay at holiday inns or sister locations. This Holiday Inn was beyond a disappointment. For the money it cost on a nightly basis this was the worst holiday inn I have ever stayed at. The rooms were old and outdated. I had ANTS in my room 3 of the 5 nights I stayed. I told the front desk person in the morning after my first night about the ANTs,he was very courtous but, they never even offered to me to move to another room, they said they would have someone from maintenance look at it. So after my work day I come back and ask the front desk people if they have resolved my issue, the 2 girls at the desk knew nothing about it at all. A maintenance person over heard me talking about it and said that he thought someone sprayed my room, and that it was the time of year here for ANTS and that they come through the outlets in the wall, I am sorry but for alot of $ a night I forget where ANTS coming in the outlets is MY PROBLEM. So I go to my room and it smells like a pesticide closet, so I opened windows and let it air out for awhile. Once again no one offered to move me to another room, and the ANTS came back a day later. I went through the same procedure and everything was the same and nothing was done about it. I will stay at Holiday Inns in the future, and the other sister company's, but I will NEVER stay at this particular Holiday Inn again. Worst high expense room a night hotel experience ever.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn on first st and I wasnt really happy about my stay. There wasnt any free breakfast and free wi-fi . I wasnt really happy with that. I stayed here at holiday Inn Express on fourth st and I was really happy not only because of the free breaksfast and free wi-fi but because the rooms and costumer service is far better then the one on first st .

I was so looking forward to sleeping in the most comfortable and cozy bed I have ever slept in. I stayed at another Holiday Inn Express in another city and it was amazing...so when I was needing a place to stay in San Jose, where I was going to stay was not a question....I loved it and will always look for a Holiday Inn Express when I travel.
