I arrived at the hotel in a taxi at about midnight straight from the airport after a delayed flight. I was starting to wonder where on earth the taxi driver was taking me as the area around this hotel seemed very run down and dodgy. The hotel is actually more of a motel with outdoor access to the rooms which... more

When we checked in the BW San Jose, I noticed the guard with the shotgun at the entrance. Then I noticed the people sleeping and begging across the street. Rooms were fine and service was OK. Other than the Marriott San Jose, ALL of the city, and the hotels are Dangerous! Shotguns in all the banks, the grocery stores and... more

I paid $63 off octopustravel.com and the hotel was great for the price. They did have my shuttle to the airport which saved me a $20 cab ride and free breakfast that had many choices and also 2 free welcome cocktails. It is in a bad area but you can do a lot of shopping in that area. So if... more

I have stayed at the Best Western Hotel many times.. I just got back from San Jose two days ago. The only problem I had was leaving. I was told the night before that I would have hotel shuttle service to the airport. It was 5am and to my surprize they sent a taxi and the driver looked very shady... more

Not close to the airport. If you stay here, allow at least 40 minutes for the drive or you'll miss your flight. When we booked, we were told this hotel was in downtown San Jose 15 minutes from SJO airport, where there was a courtesy phone and free shuttle. There is no courtesy phone, no shuttle, and the hotel is... more

Its not recommened to drive anywhere at night, so we decided to crash there, wake up early to grab our rental car and head out to the Pacific. We were looking for something cheap and boy we... more

We stayed at the Best Western this March. It is located a few blocks north of the Central Market. This made for a short walk during the day but it is NOT an area for the faint of heart. The entire area was surrounded by drug dealers and prostitutes at night (we had no problems walking during the day). Best... more

The positives: The Best Western in downtown San Jose offers a free shuttle service to and from the airport. The employees are friendly and helpful. The negatives: The hotel is located in an extremely bad neighbourhood. Dealers, junkies and prostitutes roam the surrounding streets in the evening and night. This is not a neighbourhood in which to take a stroll. more

At 20 years old, a female college student and traveling solo, I felt very safe at the Best Western Downtown. Yes, it is a bad area...but during the day IS NO PROBLEM! I walked all by myself to Avenida Central (where is the shopping and no vehicles driving). But at night always take a taxi...only $2 at least. The staff... more

A very dangerous place to stay. Was awakened at 4 in the morning by 3 gunshots ... then about 10 minutes later ... one more! When I asked the front desk about it when I left for my tour ... they acted as if it was normal and simply said a "bar fight" next door! I couldn't get out of... more
