I stayed here for two nights for a meeting in Santa Clara and I caught the free airport shuttle from the San Jose airport. The hotel is quite close to the airport. I checked-in around 5:00pm on a Friday and there was a long line of people. They were all lining up in a single queue in the Hilton HHonors carpet area. The hotel had 3 agents checking-in people and I didn't realize until later that night that they didn't give me a cookie at check-in. I was given a room on the top floor which is the executive level. The concierge lounge there provides refreshments on a little corner counter. The floor is key-protected so you have to swipe it in the elevator. The room itself is typical of an older hotel. The furnishings are fine and the bed is quite comfortable. My room was large and the bathroom had a sink and vanity area right next to it. One thing to be aware of is that there is a club on the first floor called Club Max (I think) and it's a meat market in the evenings. It was comical (or sad) to see the hotel filled with student groups and aging singles trying to mingle to/from the club and the parking lot. It was an odd combo. The breakfast buffet is fine and the service is ok. They will give you coffee to go. It might even be the Starbucks coffee that they brew from the coffee stand right next to the restaurant. They have a fitness center on the second floor and it is much better than most hotel fitness centers. They have at least 7 treadmills and lots of machines and free weights. I believe that it is open 24 hours with your card key. The hotel is also walking distance to the Karina Station VTA stop and the Airport/Metro stop.
