What guests think

At Americas Best Value Inn San Jose Convention Center, reviewers frequently praise the welcoming staff, clean rooms, and good value, with many noting easy on-site parking and a convenient location for SJSU, the convention center, and nearby dining.

Rooms are basic but comfortable, though some mention traffic or airport noise, dated features, and inconsistent mattress comfort.

Staff was very friendly, parking super close, and the room was very clean including the shower. Location is not the best neighborhood with late night traffic noise, but there are fast food options down the street by car. Was a good option for business travel, would stay there again.

The staff were very welcoming and helpful. I felt safe and taken care of as a woman traveling alone with a leg brace. There area nearby fast food restaurants if you arrive late in the evening and it is easy to get ride shares if needed. They had lots of on-site parking as well.

I don’t normally write reviews, but this motel deserves an A+ rating. They were 100% occupied, and after getting dinner all the parking spaces were filled. I noticed the mgr realizing the situation, immediately he ran out and stopped me from parking in the street, instead moved his own car (reserved space) and offered me his parking spot and moved his car into the street. That there is some customer service. At check in, very friendly, room very clean and a bit spacious. But best of all, the water pressure is 👍👍👍! Property is well kept , pride of ownership is well apparent.

I had a wonderful stay. It's a great hotel for the price. So don't expect a fancy pool. But if you want to stay at a wonderful hotel for the price, you cant beat it. Staff was AWESOME and super nice (all of them), clean rooms, all you need! Great location for touraments at the Sharks Ice Rinks for tournaments & close to the airport too👍👍

The staff were really attentive and kind, excellent customer service. And although the amenities are limited because of the nature of the property (2 star hotel), it is incredibly clean and well maintained and we felt very safe and very cared for while we were there. Literally our only complaint -- which they will be addressing when they remodel soon -- was that there are no outlets near the bedside tables for easy phone charging/access and that's a pretty first world problem all in all. Would definitely stay here again if we're back in San Jose!

The property was very clean and the location is ideal because of its proximity to the Convention center. There's also a Starbucks nearby. The manager was extremely courteous, kind and professional. He was very accommodating and helped me check-in and check-out early. I can't recommend this place enough. Great price!

Toilet sounded like it was exploding when you flushed it. Automatic light fixtures were erratic; going on and off at inconvenient times. Walls were not soundproof so we were awakened several times during the night by people coming and going, talking and watching television.

Great housekeeping service with new towels, new coffee, bed made every day. No issues with iron, ironing board, and the coffee maker was better than the single cup ones. Front desk gave me plenty of extra water. Across the street from a gas station for essentials with numerous restaurants close by.

The gentleman at the front desk was very nice and helpful. We had a really nice room and I liked how quiet it was no loud people shouting or fighting or people banging around. Only I didn’t like was wish the refrigerator was a little bit bigger had trouble fitting food that we purchased in it. I will definitely stay here again.

I cannot imagine how other people rated this as good. The bed was so ridiculously soft that it leads one to imagining how many people have slept on that mattress or just how cheap it is. I will say it was clean and quiet but it has a creepy feel to it.

The neighborhood felt relatively safe though I didnt wander around very late. I felt plenty safe in my room. Its a bit of A ways away from the tourist sites but close to public transport

I enjoy staying here. Hotel room is always clean. It’s surprisingly quiet for the area it’s located. Denny’s, Walmart, Jack in the Box, Popeyes, The Habit, Hawaiian barbecue, Chipotle, and Straw Hat Pizza is across the street. There’s also a Chevron gas station and a Bank of the West. Great location. Close to downtown. Manager of the hotel is real nice and very accommodating. I’ve been here numerous times and will keep coming back.
