Top San Jose Hotel Reviews

Aloft by Marriott Santa Clara

Aloft by Marriott Santa Clara

8/10 Good
"We had a great stay at the hotel. It was conveniently situated for our trip. The only thing that surprised me (as it has never happened at any other hotel I've ever stayed at) is that my dried mango snack package was attacked by ants. We were on the third floor. It happened quick (within a couple of hours). I had seen no trace of any other bugs or insects on the premises. But I guess those little critters will smell the yummy food anywhere."
