Many of the major hotels in San Jose are a long way from the centre, so the location of the Crowne is a big plus for me. Generally the staff is excellent, it has a great Japanese restaurant and a casino (if you fancy that). Can't really get too excited about it, but it does me just fine and I... more

The other reviews made me expect more. I will say that the room was nice and clean and met my needs. Great coffee maker. The decor is sort of retro/Jetson mix...I'm no decorator bit I didn't get it. My issues are these...wifi was $10 a night and on the 8th floor the connection was almost always very slow. It also... more

Loved our stay at the Crowne Plaza. Rooms are newly refurbished and stylish in warm colors. Since I am a Priority Club Member, I received free breakfast vouchers, free drinks at the bar, free parking and a free bottle of mineral water. Internet is also free in the business corner in the lobby. Staff was extremely friendly and wanted us... more

I stayed at the Crowne Plaza San Jose Downtown for a conference. The convention center is just across the street, so the location is very convenient. The cab ride from the airport is about $17 (plus tip). I had read a lot about the hotel being dingy and needing a remodel, and read a lot about it having been remodeled,... more

This is a nice hotel located in a good area of downtown San Jose. We were able to walk everywhere. Good restaurants and shopping nearbye. The Convention Center is just a block away. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again. more

First, I'd like to say that this is a very nice hotel. The place is clean, comfortable, and well appointed with modern furnishings and nice bedding. The location is convenient to a wide range of downtown properties, including the Tech Museum, the Museum or Art, and numerous excellent restaurants. The staff was pleasant and helpful. I wish I could also... more

I just stayed at the San Jose Crowne Plaza for an entire week. The hotel is nice on the eyes, and the beds were very comfortable. But that ends the positive comments. Based on research that we had done before booking our trip, we had expected a courtesy shuttle that would pick us up from the airport. When we called... more

This newly refurbished ($7,000,000!!) property is a gem, a total delight for the senses, from the moment one enters the stunning lobby/registration space. Totally transformed common areas (banquet rooms, the restaurant/bar, athletic club, etc.) and sumputuosly appointed guest rooms (The pillows were so soft!) await the pampered guest. The lingering effect is, at once, boutique hotel sophisticated, civilized and soothing.... more

One night here was enough before my eyes got over the 70's decor (it was new decor too) - the Hotel has a retro style to it which is pretty cute. Unfortunately the aircon unit in my room had not been replaced since 1972 so it was quite a din until I moved rooms. Certainly a convenient place to stay... more

I booked this stay for a two day business trip. Having stayed at several other Crowne Plaza's in the past, I thought I knew what to expect. First of all, this hotel does not have a concierge level for "Platinum" members of Priority Club. Not a big deal, as they have a wine and cheese hour in the main lobby... more
