We had a great experience. It was a short, but sweet trip down. The reason we were down this way was for my daughter. My daughter competed in the California Regionals for cheer. The room was clean and really nice. The continental break was the best. It was amazing!! Everything was made on a flat hot grill, hot and ready. They had yogurt and everything to go on it. Orange, apple and grapefruit juice. Coffee creamer and tea. Pancakes with everything you can think of to put on top. Egged any style with hot sauce or other toppings. Bread, bagels, croissants and everything to put on top of it. The customer service was amazing. I would definitely stay here again.

Not a typical hotel breakfast experience. Made to order eggs, yogurt bar and other various items are sure to please all dietary needs. The staff- John, Alejandra and Alexandra were very firmly and attentive to keep the area stocked and clean.

Premium suite (the designer was playful - cool beans)

Stellar experience at the Element. I stayed in the premium suite. While the bedroom and bathroom were pretty standard, the living room/ kitchen/ meeting area were notably spacious and beautifully (and playfully) designed. Really appreciated the design aesthetic. The corner suite was also quiet and clean. The lobby almost had a hip lounge feel at night. The local wine/beer happy hour and evening herbal teas were a nice touch. The hotel also had a nice breakfast spread, and the staff was really kind. Would stay here again!

Tried this location a couple of times and every single time it has been great! Breakfast is available in the morning and coffee and infused water is available all day. Convenient location right off the freeway. A small gym and outdoor pool as well.

See all

Ask the Community - Element San Jose Milpitas

Is there ADA parking and is it charged as well? Is it added to your bill or is there some ridiculous scan thing you have to give over credit card info to?

Does the wifi actually work well?

I had no issues and was able to do work.

I see the parking is $15 per night - is it gated, roving guard patrol? How safe are the vehicles in this area?

I know this was asked in 2022. But as of September 2023, it is an open parking lot. No roving guard, at least I did not see any.

We loved our 4 day stay at this Mariott Residence Inn, Milpitas Silicon Valley location. The only…read moreproblem we had, started off bad which was minor was we didn't get our room keys upon checking in, it wasn't ready til late the next day, so security had to open the doors for us, we checked in late at night so having a room key didn't matter, just having breakfast the next day we had to have the room opened after. Despite that, I loved this Residence Inn, very great convenient location, staff are super friendly and the parking is FREE!! I originally had another place in mind near the airport but the parking fee $25. x4 days which I saved by switching our hotel over here. Coming back late at night we had no problems with finding a parking spot, we were lucky to find a spot close to our room. Lets talk about the breakfast that I read great things about, it is true from the reviews, really Wow! staying here for 4 days, I was worried we would get sick of eating the same items but I can see they have different selections, I can see the staff working so hard, when preparing the daily complimentary breakfast & happy to see there is rice, furikake and miso soup! Reminds me of another Marriott when we stayed at Hillsboro, OR. Breakfast staff are so friendly, they greet you with a smile, I can feel the joy and love, while enjoying our breakast. 5 Stars! I loved our room, it is very spacious! Enough for the 4 of us, My hubby and I, My son and his friends. We sure made use of and utilized the stove, dining table, and fridge. We were here for a film festival out in Gilroy for few days and staying here was convenient for us. Also close proximity to Silicon Valley companies, Cisco System and ScanDisk. Near Great Mall, 10 miles from SJC! Thank you wonderful staff, I look forward to staying here again! Totally recommend!

The room is nice and clean, spacious and quiet. It's at a location convenient to a ton of…read morerestaurants. However, don't come here if you need wifi. The free wifi is worse than what I've experienced at other Hilton hotels, even the lower end ones. It's constantly losing connection. I tried to upgrade to Premium wifi for some important calls. After forgetting my current network connection, it failed to show me the option to upgrade. I called the front desk which directed me to tech support, which then notified me that this hotel is no longer part of their network. So there's nothing I can do at this point but deal with the bad free internet. Not only can I not use the free internet for simple Google Meet calls, but even if I try pay them more money to upgrade, I can't. I'll also add that I booked a room through the app earlier and when I arrived, they had assigned me a different room. I booked that room specifically because it was a quieter location for my anxious dog but instead, we are now right next to the elevator and stairs.

The hotel was going through renovations during my visit. They didn't have a proper lobby to get to…read moreyour room. You had to go outside and enter through an external door. I was happy with the location of my room because it was close to the entrance. I could park nearby and it was easy to load and unload my car. However, the room left a lot to be desired. The bathroom was so tiny and the toilet was positioned right in front of the mirror so you had to either position yourself on one side of the toilet really close to the counter or you stood to the right of the toilet, but far from the counter. The shower door had a gap so the water leaked from the shower onto the floor. It is just a matter of time before the flooring will warp because of this water. The bed was okay. I wish they had firmer pillows The hotel is located behind an In-N-Out. I thought this would be cool cause I could just easily walk to In-N-Out for food. However, it was so crowded with people going through the drive-thru and people hanging out in the parking lot behind it. The hotel is located at McCarthy Ranch, which has numerous restaurants both sit down and fast food and shop. This usually meant that the area was pretty busy. As far as Hiltons go, this wasn't the best. I was hoping that the location would make up for it, but it actually worked against it.

From checking on parking requirements before my booking to the check in with Aastha, who was exceptional all aspects have been 100%. The room is clean and reasonably appointed. I have strong hopes on the breakfast. All booked thru Hilton App with no issues. The phone key was not functioning at this time but I saw that Hilton is footwork on the backend systems on the 28th of September. No worries, card keys were quickly provided. I would certainly stay here again if I needed a stay in this area. FYI: It's about $20 to Uber to SJC.

There are several hotels on McCarthy Ranch, Staybridge,Courtyard Milpitas, Hilton Garden Inn, Residence Inn, Larkspur Landing, Sonesta San Jose, Embassy Suites-on Calaveras Blvd., Update: On 7/26/25, I received a phone call from Gabriel LeBron? According to him, corporate asked him to call me directly for this review above. Why would the person I placed a complaint on call me directly. I told him I never need to speak with him from day one on April 11th. According to him, again, I am no longer allowed to stay there! And why would I refer my friends and family to an establishment were the manager is so unprofessional! He must be someone's son to have him there? The Hilton has lost me as a guest. Don't go to this hotel at all!!

I had some holiday inn points I never used because I don't really stay at Holiday Inns because they just aren't nice to be honest. But then I came across this location.It's brand new and looked very nice so I decided to give it a chance. Checking in was a breeze. Employees were very friendly and helpful. I was right this hotel is very nice I couldn't believe it was a Holiday Inn. Holiday Inn is stepping their game up lol. They do not offer free breakfast. They do however have a small restaurant in hotel that you can buy breakfast . They also have a rooftop bar which is pretty cool. I loved our room. It was perfect!! The beds were super comfortable! The next day when I was about to leave I noticed a large group of younger kids having a party at the pool . There was a couple in parking lot near my car so my man moved my car. Glad I was leaving lol. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel sits tucked between a residential neighborhood and several corporate buildings, which…read moremakes the area quiet and easy to navigate. There's plenty of parking, which is always a plus. At first glance, the property looks fairly new, but once inside it feels a bit dated or slightly rundown -- maybe due to the lighting and overall décor. The restaurant/bar is right next to the lobby, and the space tends to be occupied by bar customers, which can make the lobby feel less like a hotel common area. The room itself is average, exactly what you'd expect from a standard Holiday Inn. Nothing bad, nothing standout. One thing to note: there's no complimentary breakfast, unlike many other Holiday Inn locations, so factor that into your budget. For a 1-2 night stay on a budget, it does the job. The location is convenient, and I especially liked having a drive‑thru Starbucks nearby -- perfect for early risers.

Loved this hotel!…read more Pros: Room was spacious. Beds were very comfortable. Rooms were super quiet! TV's were sized for the room! Pool was clean. Saltwater is a great touch. Healthy eating options (Chipotle, Chick-Fil-A, etc.) in walking distance. Target in the plaza across the street! Complimentary Breakfast Buffet. Workout room was adequate. Very close to Levi's stadium. Cons: Internet was a tad bit slow for being in Silicon Valley. Parking is paid. $17/night. We have not had the need to pay for parking at any of the other Hyatt houses and Hyatt places before. Silly, I thought. The plaza had cautionary signs about car break ins and safety every 20 feet. It was odd and a little scary that they had to put close to 20 placards at this small lot.. All in all, we would stay here again. Comfortable, quiet, pool, Breakfast, etc.
