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!

Complimentary snacks included chips, salsa, goldfish crackers, and pretzels. The service staff were very friendly and attentive. They were quick to grab extra chairs for tables with large groups, and clear empty drink cups/food trays. Rooms were standard. Always like the sitting area in the suite. Water flow in shower wasweak. To help guests rest, curfew was in effect around 10 or 11pm. Breakfast was good. Omelet line was busy so I settled for the potatoes, scrambled eggs, and fruit. Service was also excellent in the breakfast area. Lots of staff to flag down if something was needed. Parking is better at this location than other sites. Discounted to $10/night with the basketball tournament room block.

The atrium is a great place to sit, relax, enjoy a glass of wine, and unwind after a long day. It really has the feel of a much higher-end hotel. Unfortunately, the guest room was a different story. For the price of the room, I expected much better attention to cleanliness and maintenance. The carpet had numerous stains throughout the room and looked like it hadn't been deep cleaned in quite some time. The couch cushions were visibly stained, the tile floors were dirty with scuff marks and grime, and even the cabinet surfaces showed stains and wear. These weren't isolated issues--they were noticeable throughout the room. Overall, this hotel has a lot of potential. The common areas are attractive, the staff was pleasant, and the atmosphere is relaxing. However, the condition and cleanliness of the guest rooms don't match the image the hotel presents when you first walk in. I hope management invests in deep cleaning and refreshing the rooms because this property could easily be a four- or five-star experience with better housekeeping and maintenance.

I'm not sure why Yelp has this location listed as closed because I just stayed here two days ago…read more This review is for the Element San Jose Milpitas at 521 Alder Drive. I stayed here while attending a concert at Levi's Stadium and was pleasantly surprised, especially for the value. We had a room with two queen beds that was much more spacious than I expected. It also had a kitchen with a full-size refrigerator and cooking area. I didn't use the kitchen since we were only there for the concert, but it would be great for families or a longer stay. The room was clean and comfortable. The complimentary breakfast was probably my biggest surprise. I normally don't expect much from hotel breakfast buffets and try to get there early before everybody's hands have touched everything. They had the usual self-serve items like waffles, breads and fruit, but they also had someone preparing eggs and serving bacon and potatoes. They even had healthier options like quinoa and salad. And the coffee deserves a mention! They had regular hotel coffee plus an espresso machine. If you know me, you know I love my coffee, so that was definitely a plus. I'm not saying run over here just to eat breakfast , but for a complimentary hotel breakfast, it was actually very good and added a lot of value to the stay. Another big plus if you're staying here for an event at Levi's Stadium is the nearby VTA light rail. I wish I had known about that option before our concert! Overall, this was a good value with a spacious room, kitchen, better-than-expected breakfast, good coffee and convenient access to transportation. I would definitely consider staying here again for another event at Levi's Stadium. -- Popcorn Travels

I dined at the lobby bistro and was impressed by the freshness and overall quality of the meal. I also utilized the lobby on several occasions to work and appreciated the quiet, comfortable atmosphere.

Make sure you enter the correct address in your gps accordingly. It was a comfortable stay, with plenty of free parking. There is a large entrance with lots of tables and chairs to hangout and lots of lounges throughout the hotel grounds to sit outside and enjoy coffee or just the sun. We were kindly allowed in our room early as our flight arrived around 12pm and we got to the hotel at 1pm. The hotel is situated next to the freeway with the back of the hotel right against a hillside where people exit the freeway. Being on the first floor, and being able to see the off ramp just gave me uncomfortable vibes. My wild imagination, painted a picture of someone getting out of their car, walking down the small hill and trying to enter my room. I asked to switch to another room and was granted this with no push back. I really appreciate that. The hotel itself is within walking distance of so many restaurants including IN N OUT. If you did not have a car this would be a very practical location. Our room was on the first floor with vaulted ceilings. Despite this, the walls are very thin. I am not sure if the people above us were playing hide and seek. But there was lots of running around and stomping as they walked. So if you're staying in the first floor be aware it can be loud. Pros about the room: -Includes a microwave, mini refrigerator, and Keurig coffee machine -lots of drawers including 3 in the open closet and underneath the tv -small bench built into the tv cabinet, great for putting your luggage -large counter space in the bathroom -lots of lighting options -two hooks for towels (not sure why more hotels don't do this they only offer 1 hook if any) -Crabtree and Evelyn bath products which smelled nice) -breakfast buffet offered but not included unless you pay for it. It was $19.95 a person during my stay Comfortable stay and great location. I would stay here again while in San Jose.

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.

Levi's Stadium is located approximately 5 miles away and Downtown San Jose is located less than 10 miles away. [Parking]: Free parking, but the parking lot was completely packed with various bucket trucks at 11 PM on Monday. The front desk staff said I was able to park on the street overnight for free and my rental car was still in one piece. [Price]: The total was approximately $268 for one king-size bed for 3 days and 2 nights. [Check-in & check-out]: Standard check-in anytime after 3 PM and our party had no issue checking in at 9:30 PM. Standard check-out time is 11 AM. [Room]: Nothing to write home about. The shower was difficult to use and not intuitive as I had to first grip the knob and pull it up for water followed by twisting the knob for hot water. No mug or glass cup was available in the room to microwave any liquid. The room had a mini fridge, central control for A/C, and a hair dryer in the closet. I was startled when someone knocked on the door at 8 AM and apparently that was when room service started. I actually told the lady to skip room service for the day. [Amenity]: No hot water was readily available at the front desk, but there was a latte-making machine and regular / decaf coffee dispensers available at the front desk. Other amenities included a business center, fitness center (key can be obtained from the front desk), and pool. [Complimentary breakfast]: Open Monday to Friday from 6:00 AM - 9:30 AM & Saturday to Sunday from 7:00 AM - 10:30 AM. [Conclusion]: A pretty typical hotel - nothing special to make it stand out, but it has all the basic amenities for a comfortable stay. The parking situation could be slightly better on certain days, but I can't complain about free parking.

1 Star -- Extremely disappointing experience I am extremely…read moredisappointed with our experience at Holiday Inn & Suites Silicon Valley - Milpitas by IHG. My daughter works night shift in the ICU at Stanford Hospital and commutes to work. She is pregnant and experiencing significant nausea and exhaustion, so she booked a room specifically from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. so she could safely sleep and rest between shifts. Her coworker, who is also pregnant and works alongside her, decided to share the room. When they arrived, they were told the hotel had overbooked and cancelled their reservation. They explained their situation and asked to speak with the manager. They were told it was not the manager's fault, and the manager refused to come out of her office to speak with them. The front desk employee was left trying to find another hotel for two exhausted, pregnant healthcare workers who were simply trying to get some sleep between ICU shifts. Thankfully, the housekeeping manager heard what was happening and went out of his way to help. He found the girls a room and asked them to be out by 4:30 p.m. However, the manager in the office initially refused to allow that. A third manager eventually stepped in and spoke with the first manager. After all of this, it was finally decided that the girls could stay until 4:00 p.m. , nearly six hours less than what they had originally reserved , and they would still be charged the full price. And then they got to their room and there was no electricity. At that point, the entire purpose of booking the room, getting some much-needed sleep between ICU shifts, was compromised yet again. I want to give credit to the front desk employee and housekeeping manager, who genuinely tried to help and showed compassion. Unfortunately, the way this situation was handled by management was extremely disappointing. Hotels make mistakes. How you handle those mistakes matters. Overbooking and cancelling a reservation is already unacceptable, but refusing to personally speak with guests, providing a room without electricity, cutting their reserved time by nearly six hours, and still charging them full price is simply not how guests should be treated. I would strongly encourage anyone looking for a hotel in the Milpitas/Silicon Valley area to consider other options before booking here. Based on this experience, we will not be returning.

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.

Earlier,…read morewe had already asked for extra blankets because I was sleeping on the futon couch since the room was booked for two adults and one child. Then comes the older Asian gentleman at the front desk, who was hella unprofessional and rude. I honestly felt like his attitude toward me changed because I was in my pajamas and had my tattoos out, but regardless, that is absolutely no way to treat anyone, let alone a veteran who served 6 active-duty years. I literally came here for a mini weekend vacation to relax and chill--not to be treated like a minority or made to feel uncomfortable by some sassy-ass front desk employee. He started insinuating that I had brought extra people and asked me, in the rudest, most sassy-bitch tone, "Why do you need blankets?" Like... bitch, we're in the Bay, it's cold outside, and I'm trying to vibe by the fireplace. Why the fuck are you interrogating me over some blankets?! And when I called him out on his attitude and actions, suddenly he was scared and trying to backpedal. The young Hispanic man in the suit deserves recognition for being professional and getting me my blankets. Im sure he was a manager since he was not arrogant. As for the other employee, I genuinely think he needs to be fired. I will never stay here again unless he's gone--and honestly, that's okay because I'm on the road traveling now anyway.
