BEWARE: COCKROACHES!! Many hotels in the area, so stay away!
Let me start by saying that I've traveled extensively throughout the US, parts of Asia and Latin America and never once have I dreaded my stay at a hotel as much as I did while at the Clarion San Jose! At first, I was actually quite impressed by the cleanliness of our room, but to my surprise as my friends and I were talking, a HUGE COCKROACH climbed up the wall from the door! My friend grabbed a shoe and was able to kill it pretty quickly. I was certainly hoping I wouldn't see another one, but as the night went on, I saw another crawling along the bed skirt of my friends' bed!! We weren't able to catch it in time, so I had to try to fall asleep hoping it wouldn't crawl onto the bed. I called the front desk and they advised me that they would talk to management, but unapologetically said they couldn't offer us another room because they were fully booked. I'm sorry Clarion, but you have lost my patronage for good. Definitely NOT RECOMMENDED!!
