I go to this hotel often as my company's HQ is close by. I like the free laundry, the spacious rooms, the kitchen in the room (I go to a nearby supermarket, and cook my own meals, which I like a lot better than eating at restaurants all the time). The only downside is the noise on the back side... More

I stayed here one night to catch an early morning flight. The price was okay but I guess you get what you pay for! I arrived late and noticed a few people loitering around outside as well as in the lobby. It appears there are a few "long term" guests from what I saw/overheard. The area was somewhat safe, but...

Clean, simple, well done for a mid-level hotel. Room was very clean. Bathroom too. Staff friendly and helpful. We read the other reviews before booking to visit -- and requested the street side (not railroad tracks) and it was quiet. Room was on the 2nd floor, facing street. Free laundry service. One block away from University Dorms -- so if... More

I should have read the reviews before booking the hotel! Then I would have known to ask for a room facing the parking lot. I stayed one night to attend a symposium at Santa Clara University. They put me in a room facing the railroad tracks. The other reviewers who said it was quiet must be heavy sleepers. It is... More

Wonder area to stay for business or pleasure. Convenient location, great restaurants, very close to air travel, CalTrain station is just around the corner, yet surprisingly very quite to relax and sleep.

We stayed there for one night as part of a college visit. It was much nicer than I expected in that is was quite large and comfortable. The hotel is very well priced and the upgrade to the suite cost an extra $30. The suite was a good size with a separate bedroom and bathroom access from the living room.... More

I also stay at the Candlewood Suites when traveling for business in San Jose. You can easily take the free shuttle from SJC airport to the CalTrain station since the suites are located next to the to the CalTrain. Although I don't like the smell of this place, the staff here is very nice and helpful (Note: the smell is... More

A great option when visiting Santa Clara University. Very convenient to the CalTrain and the no. 10 bus to and from San Jose Airport. The suites are well appointed and had been redone since my last visit. Convenient Starbucks just steps away, and a little commissary downstairs provides basic foods to get you by. Friendly staff.

stayed at Candlewood beginning of November 2012 for a week. I had specifically asked to have a room facing the parking lot and not the railway since I am a light sleeper. Reception was helpful every time i had questions and didn't take long to get settled in the room. Keep in mind that this is not a hotel so... More
