    Bathroom with shower AND tub!
    Ymasumac M.

    My husband and I needed a place to stay last minute as we came to our son's college graduation a day early. This hotel was not too expensive and was incredibly well-appointed! Very clean, the space was organized well to accommodate many details that made the room extra homey and comfortable. The hotel staff were very gracious and supportive of any needs or requests we had. I would highly recommend this hotel.

    A wonderful place to stay! Super clean! We had the Sonata King room which had lots of room. The shower had great water pressure and kept hot. The room came with a mini fridge. No microwave in the room but there is one located next to the ice machine. Nightstands had built in powermats for your phone. We did enjoy a really good dinner at the restaurant downstairs. Great drinks and 5 stars on the food. I highly recommend the pineapple sorbet. It comes in a pineapple shell and oh so good!!

    I stay here regularly, and each time I have an exceptional experience! The entire hotel is updated, clean and a quiet place to rest. The staff is friendly and professional, and the prices are hard to beat for this area.

    Very nice clean hotel with an upscale feel. Beds were comfortable, staff were friendly. Pet friendly, my Scottie approved of her new accommodations for the night. The restaurant had a full bar and was busy with guests at 8:30 last night. Breakfast buffet in the morning was delightfully filling. The waitress was pleasant and talkative. Outdoor seating was available Definitely will stay here again should I be in the area.

    Parking fees

    They charge $19 per night per car to park. It is not clearly disclosed when you make the reservation. When you arrive they tell you to scan a QR code and pay a third party company $18 for parking. Then the third party charges you a dollar on top of that. I asked if i can just pay the front desk and they say no, you have to use the QR code. So theres a fee to pay the fee!!! There is no place to park anywhere else. Parking should just be included or added as a clear line item when you book the room. This just left a bad taste in my mouth like im being nickel and dimed.

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!

I must have…read moredriven past Element 100 times during my trips to Milpitas and this time around, I booked a room. I was greeted by a very friendly and capable pair, Diane & Diane who were more than happy to tell me about the hotel. Usually, at other hotels, I am greeted by a very blank faced reception with minimal conversation, so this was a very nice change. The room was fantastic with a complete kitchen and very nice living room with a wall mounted TV. The bed had a great mattress and for once, I didn't wake up to a sore body from a typical hotel bed. They have free happy hour and tea time to go along with a nice breakfast. This was a 5 for 5 stay and the only bad thing I can say is I wish I came here long before this visit. Needless to say, Element will be my go to stay whenever I am working in Milpitas/San Jose.

Some of the kids were really loud and rowdy... my whole room was rumbling and shaking for about an hour at night because those kids kept running up and down the halls. They were not pleasant to be around. Breakfast time was also crazy... dozens of families with kids trying to get food... and some kids are pretty unsanitary the way they grabbed food... and some kids were wasteful too, I saw lots of good food get dumped or left on the tables after they left I really liked the hotel and would go again. I just hope we don't happen to stay with a bunch of sports families again bc it was a bit stressful for me being around that community. I think the hotel staff should've tried to place all the non-sports-team customers far far away from those customers that came all together, to avoid the noise issue. I did not rest well. Gym was clean. Pool was small but nice for kids to play around in. Hotel was a bit older but everything was in good condition. Breakfast buffet had a great selection.

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.

In-N-Out is just beyond the parking lot. The location was easy to access from the freeway. There's a bar downstairs and restaurant on site with limited options. Breakfast is available for a fee. Overall a nice place to stay.

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.
