Crowne Plaza San Jose North

This hotel is located in a great location for freeway access and is just minutes from the Great mall of Milpitas. The beds are very comfortable and the restaurant on the lobby level serves up decent food. However, my room (King mini-suite) did not have a microwave or mini-fridge, there was only one bathrobe made available (I booked the room for two adults), no DVD player was available and the TV is an old, smallish tube model (it's 2009 - at least put Vizios in the room). The selection of in-room movies was very good and the room and bathroom itself was exceptionally clean. read more

Basic Crowne plaza – comfy bed, tube TV, coffee maker, but that's about it. There is an Asian shopping plaza within walking distance but no other restaurants off property. Several ball teams were staying at the hotel for a tournament but we requested a quiet room and the front desk complied. Probably wouldn't stay here again.

Much nicer than I expected. They said I was booked to a "smoking room" and would not list my request for a "non-smoking" but when I arrived they asked which I wanted and what bed type.

The hotel stuff was nice. The front desk was helpful. They didn't have toothbush and to toothbaste and etc...in the bathroom. But on the piece of paper it wrote that if they need it just call the front desk. They were prompt to service our needs. The stuff bring it up to us in less then 5 minutes. So like that very much fast and like service that's what we get from Crown Plaza. Thank you. read more

Great hotel for the price.

Would recommend hotel to anyone with business in the Bay/San Jose area.

No Internet. They charged me $10 a day. In this age, who charges for internet.

As for the hotel itself, it's a tall hotel in a valley with no tall neighbors, so the views are great on the upper floors. Although the hotel seems like an older hotel that has lost some of its shine, our room was clean and had everything you'd expect from this star level (and maybe a bit more). The main knock is that the AC unit was old-style, with no digital thermostat setting (but no big deal since the area usually does not get too hot or too cold). Also, I wish the room had a fridge. At this hotel, you have to pay a lot for certain "extras" like minibar, movies and internet(about $10/day), so probably you'll just go without. They do have laundry machines, although another guest told us that the dryers have not been working for a few days. Overall, I pretty much got what I expected from this kind of hotel. I can recommend (but just barely because of the minor annoyances). read more
