    We realized we stayed there before as a Howard Johnsons.....there were police doing an investigation that time. This time we were disturbed in the night by hotel personel saying someone unauthorized was staying in our room! Then there was loud talking outside our room by people who must live in their room long term. Will not stay there again.

    Here is your wifi password, etc. Nope, didn't work. I thought why not pay a little more for the Jacuzzi tub? Stained, antique and I abandoned the idea of bathing completely once I saw it. I saw that breakfast was offered and this was actually what made my decision to stay here. To call a bagel with cream cheese breakfast is a joke. Bad neighborhood […] and overall a disappointing experience. I should have just went somewhere cheaper or more expensive. I got what you would expect from a cheaper establishment. Read more

    Hotel elan was an okay stay. Had to take the last available room on a whim, which was a smoking and pet friendly room. Room had a good animal smell but it was bearable and at least the smell wasn't soaked into the sheets. Of course, there were cigarette burns and what not, but for the price and how quickly I needed a room, the office was very accomodating […] and apologetic for such a room. They definitely think about their guests. The free wifi could be a lot better, however. The surrounding neighborhood is pretty sketchy, too. Read more

    The Hotel Élan use to be a Motel. For the cost and closeness to downtown it's a bargain but for anything else it's not to savory. The TV was a 12 inches and old. The free wi-fi is a bargain but everything else is unsavory. I'd never stay there again

    Not a very good neighborhood per the setting and the Taxi driver. If the hotel had shuttle service like we were told from hotel.cm staff, we wouldn't have needed a Taxi. The hotel after some conversation paid for the Taxi ride to the airport but we had to pay on the way back to the hotel for our car. Hotel.com staff told us it was a stay, park and leave […] your car and shuttle to and from the airport. No shuttle at this hotel. I may just have to begin using some other service to book my hotels in the future. Unsatisfied customer. Read more

    hotel Elan is in downtown San Jose on "FIRST STREET" - it doesn't get more busy/downtown than that! Great central location! Great economy! beyond basic accomodations for a basic rate. We gave Hotel Elam a BIG THUMBS UP for the the discerning traveller that is on a budget. But, get a room in the back wing for the very best quiet stay.

    This is not a safe neighborhood. They ask to fill out a registration card for which I have never been asked to do at any hotel before. They asked for my personal information although they already made a copy of my driver's license. They also asked for the car license plate.

    I rated this hotel overall just OK because the breakfast they offered was totally unacceptable.

There was only one mug of milk for the (2) two hours or so duration of breakfast. Let's get real people, I know even if there was only […] 10-15 guests the milk would not be enough. Read more

    The hotel room was very clean and smelled very nice. The amenities weren't the most thrilling aspect, but it was a great deal for the price. The location is about a mile from the convention center, which is the reason for the visit to San Jose. The other hotels were fully booked, but this hotel is a great value for the price paid.

    I think more money was spent on the fancier ceiling light fixtures then the simple and poorly executed renovations done in the bathroom. Walls are on the thin side regarding noise from neighbours. Staff however were very accommodating and helpful. Breakfast was certainly sufficient. Neighbourhood was not the best.

    Hotel adattpo per pernottamenti occasionali. L'organizzazione della prima colazione lascia a desiderare. Si trova quello che aventualmente hanno lasciato gli altri e poi bisogna portare tutto in camera in quanto alla reception c'è solo 1 tavolino.

    La colazione lascia un po' a desiderare. Occorre prendersi l'occorrente alla reception (a volte si trova quello che hanno lasciato gli altri) e poi portarselo in camera, perchè alla reception c'è un solo tavolino.Nei dintorni non c'è un ristorante decente. L'hotel va bene per esigenze di passaggio che si concludono in una notte.

    飛行機が真上を通るが音は気にならない。治安がいい所とはいえないが、セキュリティガードがいるので安心だった。バス停も直ぐ近くにあるので車が無くても買い物はなんとかなる。

    値段が安くて心配したが,十分の品質で満足した.1st street沿いなので,多少うるさいが,他は十分満足.
