The suites are 10 years old and overall could use a little perking up. They are just outside the front gate of Santa Clara University where we went to take in a basketball game. Our room was fine - clean, spacious and quiet. We heard no train noise. We had a third floor room facing the street away from the... More

I spent one night here, after flying into San Jose on business. Located just a short drive from the airport, this suited my needs. The room was nicely appointed, with kitchenette, large TV, and comfortable furniture. Overall, it was a good stay. My only complaint is that the room HVAC unit was very loud, making random noises all night, which... More

Room was great. Spotless and well appointed with a nice kitchenette. I flew in on Sunday, from Asia, and was in the office first thing Monday morning feeling good. Caltrain convenient, walk across the parking lot, and easy access to the SJ airport. Front desk staff are very helpful and friendly. More

Candlewood Suites is almost perfect for what it is: an extended stay hotel. If you're looking for daily housekeeping, room service and a luxurious environment, this is not your hotel. If, however, you're looking for friendly service and the simple amenities of home (in-room, fully equipped kitchenettes, smoke-free environment, free on-site laundry and an exercise facility), you'll be very happy...

This hotel is right next to the Santa Clara CalTrain station. I stayed at this hotel so I could use the CalTrain and go to San Francisco and back so I didn't need to get a rental car. I flew into the San Jose airport and there is a free public transit bus that takes you from the airport to... More

The hotel and the room were clean and comfortable. Close to my work and close to shopping (For my wife who was travelling with me). Parking was a little distant but only because we arrived late. More

This hotel is THE most convenient choice for visiting Santa Clara University. Location can't be beat - - literally across the street, and next to the CalTrain station. It is an extended stay/limited service hotel, so set your expectations accordingly. But it is clean, friendly, convenient and economical. More

Right by the train tracks. No Maid Service, you were expected to make your own bed and clean your own room, and if you wanted a clean towel, you had to go down to the front desk to get one. Egad! Hair Dryer didn't work-was told to get key from desk to use another room. Bathroom door would not close-clothes... More

This is directly across the street from SCU. You don't even have to rent a car. Fly into the San Jose airport, take the free bus, #10, to the Santa Clara Bus stop - Candlewood Suites is across the street. Great for visiting the school. Overall, it is a decent hotel, nothing special, but location is great. More
