I stayed at this hotel with a group who were going to a convention. The hotels at the convention center (Hilton and Marriott) cost about twice as much as the Ramada so we were looking for an affordable alternative. The Ramada is about 2 blocks from the convention center in an area that is being completely revitalized with restaurants, clubs,... more

Three of us travelled to California the week of Jan 8th to 15th. We booked 2 rooms at this hotel using a trip rewards program for one night. I opened the door and was so disgusted I wouldn't step in. The room was a pig sty with 1/2 empty 2 litre bottles of pop lying around, cigarette butts overflowing in... more

I stayed here for five days in December 2006 and I got here back a year later, even if only for one day, because it's one of the best hotels in its price range. The first time I came here I did find a room not perfectly cleaned, but as soon as I told that at the front desk I've... more

I am a single business woman. I stayed at the Ramada as an alternative to the higher priced hotels while I attended a conference at the convention center. It met all my needs, including free wireless internet, complimentary breakfast, in-room refrigerators, programmable wake-up calls, hair dryers, coffee makers, ironing boards and irons in the room already. The room was clean,... more

It seems like most downtown San Jose hotels are either high-end business hotels or low-end dives. The Ramada break the rule. Don't expect luxury here. This is a vintage motor-court motel with the rooms entered from outside walkways and balconies overlooking the parking lot. Still the rooms have been renovated and they are, at least in my experience, always clean.... more

I stayed at the Ramada for work while I was attending a convention. The first night that I was there someone ran up behind me IN THE PARKING LOT and grabbed my purse. After struggling for several moments and screaming the crackhead got into a car and took off. The staff in the lobby a few yards away was COMPLETELY... more

A pretty darn good motel, especially for the price, in the heart of downtown San Jose -- and parking is free, which is worth the price of admission alone! The room was well-equipped (microwave, small fridge, iron, ironing board, coffee maker), clean, and comfortable. It was within easy walking distance to the Convention Center and next door to a really... more

I stayed at Ramada 4 days while attending a conference. In my opinion some of the previous reviews don't do justice to this place. The hotel is clean, well kept, although modest. The staff was polite and helpful. My room was ready every day before lunch. Didn't have any problems with loud sounds (in fact, this place was much quieter... more

The Good: Reasonable price compared to other lodging in the immediate area. Close to Convention Center and restaurants. Free wireless Internet. Breakfast was the usual donuts, cereal, coffee, juice, fruit in a cramped room. Free USA Today and San Jose Mercury papers. Queen bed was comfortable. Rooms are dated in appearance but clean. Desk staff were friendly and let us... more
