I chose this location over the North First street one. And I'm glad I did! Good, central location to various locations in the valley and to the freeways. Quiet. Good restaurants along El Camino to chose from. And the staff were excellent.

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Santa Clara by IHG offers top-notch rooms and services. We arrived at the San Jose airport last June 180-19 after a trip and were very tired, but the hotel staff made our check-in a breeze. The lobby was very organized, and the room was spotless. Thanks to Ms. Mary for keeping our stay very memorable. And who can forget that breakfast? The bacon was exquisite! I will definitely be back.

We stayed at Holiday Inn Express & Suites Santa Clara from June 18 to June 19 and had a very pleasant experience. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, which was exactly what we needed after a day of travel.
The staff member who assisted during check in was incredibly warm and accommodating. She provided clear instructions and answered all our questions making us feel genuinely welcomed.
Another highlight was the complimentary breakfast. It had a good variety of options, from hot items to lighter fare, and everything was fresh and well-stocked. It was a great way to start the day.
We highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for comfort and excellent service. Kudos to Ms. Mary and all her staff!
