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.

A wonderful stay
I stayed here because it was near the Amtrak station. Then my train was very late arriving into San Jose and they held my room for me. Also the hotel served a full complimentary breakfast, even better than the common continental one. Very nice experience.

Great for a group
The Arena Hotel was beyond our expectations. It was charming, clean, spacious, and an excellent value. We had a group of 14 in 4 rooms, ranging in age from 7-55y. Everyone was very happy with the accommodations. The jacuzzi tub was great after a long day at the Robotics competition and the hot breakfast was very nice. I would strongly recommend this hotel!

THE MOST COMFORTABLE BEDS
On this trip, I stayed in 4 different hotels and the beds here were the very best. Very walkable to HP Pavillion and I'm not a walker! Took me 10 minutes and I walk slowly. I was thinking it would take 30 minutes! Generally, a good location. Easy on and off major highways. Parking without a parking fee was a plus, too.

Pleasant stay
The outside of the hotel is very nice and cute; the rooms need some updating - clean but simple. The hot breakfast was very good. We were never at the hotel when dinner was served. Overall, it was a good stay for the value, but the rooms do need to be updated some. I would stay again at this hotel.

Great find
This hotel was a gem. There was a living room, kitchenette, nice-sized bedroom, and a bathroom with a jacuzzi tub (the jacuzzi worked nicely, but only accommodates one person comfortably - not a problem since I was traveling solo). Wireless internet worked great. The staff was very friendly. My only complaint is that they were refurbishing the hotel when I stayed there. Although they didn't make much noise, it was a bit messy in the hall. If you need to stop over in SJ for a bit, this is a great find. It's within walking distance to the HP Pavilion too.

Japantown isn't very big, but it's worth taking a look at if you need someplace to eat. There is also a market there called Santo's - it looks a bit rundown, but the deli food and the shave ice is good. Also try the Tofu Co. if you like tofu (fresh tofu is so much better than the prepackaged kind!).

Wonderful Whirlpool Bathtub!
The Arena Hotel was quite comfortable. For me, the very best part of this room was the whirlpool bathtub! I was in San Jose on business ... and I was squeaky clean the whole time! The bathtub was wonderful! The room was spacious enough. The bed was comfy. There was a desk at which to work -- along with WI-FI, so I was able to do all of the email and Internet work that I needed. There was a round table for eating. There was a small refrigerator as well as plates and utensils. One thing that was also very helpful for me was the Longs Drug Store next door. There were also several restaurants within walking distance. My destination each day was to the Convention Center, which was a bit of a taxi ride away ... but the whirlpool bathtub made it all worthwhile! I had the opportunity to switch over to one of the convention hotels close to the convention center (at the same price), but I decided that I preferred being at this comfy hotel ... with the great bath. There's nothing like having a nice, hot bath at the end of each day!

Great hotel!!!!
We went to the Gina carano vs cyborg fight at the hp pavilion and were looking for a good hotel at a reasonable price and came across the Arena hotel. This hotel turned out to be a wonderful surprise, the rooms were very big with a jacuzzi tub , great refrigerator and best of all it was walking distance from the hp pavilion so we saved on paying a twenty dollar parking fee or cab fare. The staff was great also very friendly
