Days Inn San Jose Convention Center

DISGUSTING. Pool and hot tub were filthy. Much of the room was in disrepair. Blood splatters on the bathroom walls. No battery in the smoke detector.
Only positive — the mattress was comfortable.

Very unprofessional business you can tell by the way they respond back on Unilocal.Will send my complaint to corporate.

I stayed at this motel for two nights in August 2015. Based on my experience, I hope to never stay here again. But there were both good and bad aspects of my stay, most of which are outlined in the following review.
Starting with the positive… The motel provides a convenient (albeit hectic) location, relatively low rates, and easy/​quick reservation and check-​in processes. In addition, my room offered extensive TV channels, a functioning and clean microwave, a functioning and clean refrigerator, and free wi-​fi.
And now the not-so-positive…My room depressed me. Its only window faced a brick wall partially concealing a KFC restaurant that straddled the property line. The décor and cleanliness of the room left much to be desired. Smudge marks and stains pervaded the walls and carpet. BARE FEET ARE NOT ADVISED! I saw some apparent cigarette burns on the carpet and furniture. On one wall, I noticed a few drops of an unknown substance (it looked like salad dressing or lotion). Furniture and counter tops had busy patterns that concealed filth, but close inspection revealed isolated filth. The heavily stained chair, ottoman, and comforter reminded me of seats you would find on a public bus or BART train. My confidence in the room’s cleanliness declined even more when I stumbled on items apparently left by previous guests. If they cleaned the room, how could the housekeeping staff have missed these items?
The bathroom was the worst. There was bar soap available at the sink, but it had already been unwrapped, and appeared possibly used; I threw it away. A hand towel appeared clean on first sight, but unfolding it revealed visible signs of grime (It looked like it had been used). Hairs of various lengths, textures and colors clung to the shower walls. The shower was slow to drain, which meant I was wading in water after one minute of the shower running. There was no «do not disturb» sign which I rely on because I don’t like strangers entering my room when I’m away. I could’ve asked the office employee for one, but I found him to be overly talkative, inquisitive, and creepy, so I avoided him altogether.
OTHER PROBLEMS DURING MY STAY INCLUDED:
— Round-​the-​clock noise; I could easily hear conversations from adjacent rooms and the public outdoor areas — day and night.
— The continental breakfast offered raisin bran, frosted flakes, juices, and instant coffee. I was unimpressed by the variety and quality of the breakfast foods.
— There are restaurants, stores, and other amenities within walking distance, but the motel is located in what could be the ugliest area of San Jose with lots of litter and blight. I accidentally stepped in a huge mound of excrement while walking in the parking lot of the adjacent Seven-​Eleven store (I hope it was dog poop).
— The immediate area also contains physical dangers: poorly-​lit sidewalks, extremely busy high-​speed roads, and active train tracks.
— Panhandlers and loiterers are abundant in the area.

We pulled in at 4:30a after being stuck in two hours of unexpected road work on the 5. The office worker was sitting outside of the office and asked what we wanted, and proceeded to book us a room after walking back into the office. There was a shirtless gentleman in nothing but a towel looking over the ‘courtyard’ as we got to our room. The fire escape plan sign looked like it had been ripped off the door, and instead of a peep hole, there was simply a bit hole in the door. We stuffed it with toilet paper, just to be sure. Just about everything was falling apart. There were patches on holes in the walls, spotty paint, electrical fixtures falling out of place, and the toilet didn’t flush. We got a knock on the door and it was the office worker who tried to come into our room, but we kept him out. After settling in we turned off the light, we could hear people yelling outside, running up and down the halls, knocking and scratching on our doors, etc. Wasn’t a safe environment. The bed was comfy, and we were happy for a roof and a bed. But do not come here.

Nothing cheaper than $ 122 a night. How is this hotel able to charge this much?! I wish I would have paid the extra $ 40 a night to stay somewhere nicer! The room is large, but no alarm clocks, which is strange. Tv is a 17″ or 19″. The cable was good though, nice selection.
Now why I would NEVER stay here again. Checking in I should have had my first clue. The room wasn’t ready so the front desk guy asked me to take a seat, he then sat next to me and began asking if I had a boyfriend, etc. I got up, waited for the key, headed straight to the room. There were prostitutes and pimps literally hanging out of the doors. I packed up and left at 7pm, people were right outside my door smoking weed and I just did NOT feel safe enough to spend the night.
Seriously? Holy CRAP bad experience!

DO NOT GO HERE if you have other hotel options. Came here for work last week & this was the only place available at the time. This was by far the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had! Broken ac, the chair in the room had a dark stain & there was something that looked like dark dried vomit on the toilet bowl. I was soo disgusted that I ended up borrowing my friend’s sweater to sleep in. The only good thing I could say is that my room had a microwave & fridge. They also have free wifi.

NOT definitely NOT COMING BACK. Its not worth it. I rather sleep in my car.
The sheet is not clean. At all.
Restroom dirty. Have weird smell. All doors got fix but not really fixed. Seems like a bunch of cops had been forced themselves in there to arrest someone.
A lot of homeless people wandering around the neighborhood all day and all night. There was someone seems like living in a van in their parking lot.
I travel a lot and definitely not coming back to this place. For $ 79.99, its actually not worth it. Its a shame for the franchise actually. I always thought they have a higher standard. Way higher.
Ps. Pool is awesome though. Clean water. I can see the bottom of the pool. I didn’t swim because of paranoia caused by the room. Just want u to know.

Up until now, I had not joined Unilocal.I had only read other people’s reviews. After staying at here, I felt I had to speak up and alert the public to this place.
First, I called ahead 5 times to confirm my stay and see if I can get in early. No one picked up the phone each time.
Second, after I got there, a woman outside in tight spandex walks past me and greets me with a soft smile and a «Hiii.» She is followed a few feet by a man who stares at me. I watch as she goes to her room and then leads the man into her room. A few minutes later, the woman walks out past me alone. Uhhhh — prostitution hotel?
Third, there were two guys hanging out by their doors. They weren’t smoking cigarettes and going right back into their rooms. Rather, the were standing «watch» as all of this happened.
Fourth, the manager is talking to his boss about police incidents at the hotel. It makes me uneasy. The counter also has an open letter saying that «illegal activities» would not be tolerated there. I am uneasy, but I still hope for the best. The manager hands me a key to a room — it is past the laundry room and in the corner. It reeks of smoke and the only curtains are blackout curtains, so there really is no way to open the window and let in light without the people on the sidewalk seeing you.
Fifth, I go back and complain about this to the manager. He seems to know what I am talking about, but will not take any responsibility for it. He tells me I can complain to his boss, call the police, or check out. He does offer me a different room though. I ask him which one is the best room and he refuses to answer me. He finally gives me a key to another room — room 12 — it is bigger with no smoke smell. The carpets look and feel funky, but OK, just a couple nights, right? Wrong.
Sixth, we don’t trust the bedding there, so my well-​prepared wife covers the sheets and pillows with our own bedding. We remove their blankets as well. Still in the middle of the night, my wife complains that she can’t sleep because she is itching. A few minutes later. I look on my arm and I see something moving. It is an insect. I check the internet to confirm my fears — yes, it is a bed bug. Attached here is my photo.
We decide to leave.
Seventh, on my way out I see a police car parked right behind mine. The manager also looks up at me from his window. I then go back to the room to get the rest of my stuff. I see three police officers standing outside of a room right above mine. As I go back into my room, I hear, «This i the San Jose PD. Open the door.» I go back out and look back, and I see the police officers going into the room with their WEAPONS ARMED.
After I get my stuff, I check out. I tell him I’m checking out. He was bold and defensive the day before, but now he won’t even look me in the eye. All he says is «Thank you.»
Bottom line — worst experience ever. And I joined Unilocal just to say that.

I insisted that my boyfriend stay at the Holiday Inn Express, but he insisted that he stay at a cheaper motel, and he found a deal at Days Inn. I still ended up paying about $ 150, which I found to be expensive for the quality of the room. The bathroom, thank goodness, was fairly clean, but the bed had this weird lived-​in smell. I realized that the covers had that strange smell, clearly b/​c it hadn’t been washed in a while. The sheets were OK though, so I told my boyfriend not to get too cuddly w/​the smelly covers. We also had some weird neighbors. At one point, I heard what sounded to be punches being thrown and strangled screams to follow. WEIRD and shady. When we returned home late one night, I saw police cars on the premises. OMG — The conclusion is that I will never have my boyfriend stay there when visiting me in San Jose ever, ever again.

NOT staying here again.
The walls were so thin, I could clearly make out the ring tone of the guy next door and hear him talking all night (iPhone)… and at 5 AM when he woke up. On our other night at the hotel, the people upstairs were apparently throwing anvils and must have been up past midnight. If you have little kids and/​or enjoy sleeping, this is not a hotel for you.
The continental breakfast area was squeezed into the check-​in lobby. The guy working the counter was sitting in the only chair next to the food while I filled my styrofoam bowl with cheap pastries and toast for my kids. The breakfast selection wasn’t being refilled in a timely manner as the guy who did that was too busy checking people out to refill the break basket. How cheap can you be?
They had tiny 6 oz cups for the coffee. Seriously, who drinks that little coffee? Is coffee that expensive? Yes, I was planning on going to Starbucks anyways, but that’s besides the point.
Oh, almost forgot. When we finally did check out at 9:30, they had a «be back in 15 minutes» note taped to the locked door of the office. Seriously? I saw TWO of them working there at one point when I was scavenging at the breakfast counter.
We stayed at a few Days Inn during our vacation and we will avoid them at all costs in the future. Unfortunately all of the Days Inn we stayed at seemed to be gross or severely lacking in numerous ways.

DO NOT stay here, I paid $ 90.00 for a room with no baseboards, wallpaper coming off the walls, oh and did I mention exposed pipes!!! Look for yourself I took pictures… they say over 100 channels well only a handful where NOT blocked. If it was not 2am I would have def left, I am sure I could have had a better room at Motel 6 & for half the price !!!

I stopped here on a road trip. Did a quick gps search to find something and I wasn’t feeling too picky. I was comfortable with the area, it doesn’t feel creepy. The room cost $ 77.97, but they charged me $ 78. I know it’s only 3 cents, but it’s the principle of it. On top of it, the room is pretty shabby, crappy furniture and carpet. They advertise over 100 channels on direct tv but the majority of them are under parental lock. The bathroom was clean though, I’ll give them that. However, and here are the reasons they only get one star:
1. I called the front desk and asked for extra towels, and they told me that there were the policy amount in the room and that they wouldn’t give me anymore, and even if policy wold let them they didn’t have any more to give. Lame!
2. I found pieces of glass on the comforter. They were very little and it’s unlikely they would have hurt anything, but still, glass on the bed? Really?
All in all, I would NOT recommend staying here.

Checked in here with my supermodel girlfriend for a night of hot, passionate lovemaking. Just when she was about to get nekkid, my alarm clock went off and woke me up. Damn you, alarm clock!!!

Working out of town I get to experience lots of different hotels, but this is one of my worst one’s.
First off, the AC didn’t work, tried three different rooms.
My truck got tagged, they tried to break in, but thankfully the lock was strong enough.
All the rooms smelled like smoke.
The Only thing I can say positive about this place is, free wifi, but thats it

Walk in the lobby and you will small a really bad stink of Indian food. It was so potent I wasn’t able to stay in for very long. The place is old and beat up. The first room was a non-​smoking room but it stink of smoke so I changed to another room. The second room didn’t have the smoke smell but the TV wasn’t work right and it was a bit dirty. I wouldn’t come back.

It is what it is… a motel.
Clean sheets.
Clean towels.
Clean bathroom.
Functioning heater.
Free Wifi.
Near BF’s family.
Only thing: They want you out right at check-​out time. And I mean out.
It was good enough for the night.
