Affordable downtown San Jose hotel offers easy access to everything
Located in the heart of downtown San Jose, the Arena Hotel offers walkable access to the HP Pavilion, downtown offices and the San Jose Caltrain station. Guests appreciate the variety of nearby dining and transportation options whether they are there for a San Jose Sharks game or a business trip. Complimentary breakfast (daily) and evening appetizers (Monday-Thursday) help guests fuel up for a long day of work or night of recreation, and Jacuzzi tubs in each room ease sore muscles afterward.
Highlights:
- Free wireless Internet access in rooms and common areas
- Complimentary continental breakfast and evening appetizer hour
- Walking distance to HP Pavilion, downtown San Jose and Caltrain
Rooms:
The recently renovated rooms have traditional decor, including dark-wood furnishings and printed bedspreads in dark, muted colors. Guestrooms and suites are highlighted by amenities such as 27-inch color TVs, voicemail-enabled telephones, microwaves, refrigerators, coffeemakers and even kitchenettes in some rooms. Two-person Jacuzzi bathtubs and free wireless Internet access are nice bonuses.
Features:
Corporate travelers appreciate the on-site business center, which is open daily and includes a computer workstation with Internet access and a printer. (A fax machine and photocopier are available at the front desk.) Guests who don't like checking bags can take advantage of the same-day dry-cleaning service and an on-site laundry room (fees apply). Perhaps most appreciated, though, is the complimentary breakfast available weekdays and weekends. In the evenings, light eaters can make a meal of the snacks provided in the lobby.

Pleasant room and good location
We arrived early and they were able to let us sign in early. When we had a question of a location of a sight we wanted to see, they printed out a map quest and a map. The room was large and the bath was handicap assessable. The breakfast was good. It was an attractive venue and it was close to expressways.

Good, Clean Little Gem
If you want a clean room in a quiet motel , stay here. It is not fancy but the rooms are well-kept and are just enough for a brief stay.

Excellent Value
Free hot breakfast, low rates, great location within walking distance of just about anything you would need on a business trip. Rooms are not great but the beds are comfortable and a jacuzzi in every room is a nice touch,

Very basic
It was a bit difficult to find. The accomodations were very basic. The room felt a bit contradictory because some features seemed like they were modern, (wooden floors, nice flat screen tv), but others were weird and outdated (the creepy, dated jacuzzi tub, the decor in general). It got quiet after the construction outside our window stopped. We were grateful it was only a one night stay...yikes. I guess if you aren't spending a lot of time in your room, it isn't so bad. The best part about our stay was the continental breakfast that was a part of our room rate deal. All in all, it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't 5-star either.

Car Rental
The trip was overall good, however I wasn't allowed to rent a car because I don't have a driver's license. The worker at the car rental place said I could get my money back. I would like to have an update on that. -Mark

Convenient Location
The hotel is located a half mile from the HP Arena, and a mile from the Convention Center...which was great. The decor is outdated, and the rooms could use a little work, but things were clean. Our room was on the second floor and we did have some heavy footed people above us on the third floor. Not a bad place for the price we paid, about $100 a night for Friday and Saturday.

Girls night out
The staff was friendly. It was the perfect location, walking distance to HP Pavilion for a concert. A little pricey, but we saved $25 on parking and got an okay breakfast in the morning. We stayed in a room with a king bed, and it was large enough that 3 of us could share the bed, no couch! Loved the full kitchen, it would be super useful if I had stayed more than just one night.
