The Spotlight on AC Hotel by Marriott San Jose Downtown

Modern Comfort in the Heart of San Jose

AC Hotel by Marriott San Jose Downtown blends sleek, contemporary style with unbeatable convenience. Located right in the center of San Jose, this chic hotel is just a short walk from major concert venues, public transit, and buzzing nightlife. With clean design, thoughtful amenities, and a relaxed vibe, it's a smart pick for music fans looking to stay close to the action.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a favorite for fans catching live shows thanks to its prime downtown location—just minutes from San Jose’s biggest venues and the Diridon Amtrak and Caltrain stations. After the encore, enjoy a smooth return to your room with 24-hour front desk service and late-night lounging options. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM, and the generous 12:00 PM checkout gives you time to recover after a big night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends ready to explore San Jose’s music and bar scene
  • Solo travelers seeing their favorite artist live
  • Couples planning a fun weekend getaway
  • Fans who want quiet comfort after a loud night
  • Budget-conscious concert-goers who want value without sacrificing style

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s on-site restaurant and bar make it easy to grab a bite or a drink without leaving the building. While there’s no 24/7 room service, guests enjoy options like a continental breakfast in the morning—ideal after a late night. Plus, downtown San Jose’s many eateries are just steps away for late-night dining.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself leans more relaxed than rowdy, you’re just minutes from San Jose’s nightlife, including bars, lounges, and clubs. Want something low-key? Head to the hotel bar for craft cocktails in a stylish setting, or hang out in the shared lounge area.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern rooms, friendly staff, and the location that puts you close to everything. Many mention the easy walk to train stations and venues. The pool and fitness center are also popular perks for a pre-show energizer or post-show wind-down.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests wished for more on-site dining hours and noted that rooms near the street can get a bit of city noise. Still, most say it’s a solid trade-off for such a central location.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to San Jose for a concert, AC Hotel by Marriott San Jose Downtown offers the perfect mix of style, comfort, and location to make your night unforgettable.

Alison, Monterey

I'd stay here again. It was a quiet location with few people on the streets. We went to a concert at the San Jose Civic Auditorium and it was about a mile away so we walked a quiet, peaceful walk there and back. Prices for the hotel were high because extras like parking are not mentioned until later.

Liked: Hotel was clean, attractive and the staff was pleasant. Wonderful Italian restaurant in walking distance!
Disliked: Room was attractive but very small. Only place for one suitcase if you wanted to open the case - no suitcase stand.

The morning cup of coffee...

Liked: Enjoyed the available coffee in the lobby for guests who don’t want to use the coffee maker in the room.
Disliked: My arrival was late, and their parking structure required hotel guests to park on the 5th floor. Unfortunately, I had to roll my bag down the ramp because they disable the elevators at a particular time (should be noted on hotel page).

Wouldn’t come back

Liked: Comfy bed
Disliked: The service we received was horrible. They made my wife run around over parking. We checked in last night told parking was $30 ok.The receptionist told me it was cheaper with them, and I'm thinking great. Received the bill still $30. So my wife leaves and when she gets the exit it asks her to pay. Why are we paying if you already charged us. She had to get off and go inside and no one told her she needed to validate it. A big mess and waste of time. Worst customer service

The hotel was good, but...

Liked: The hotel is well located to San Jose transport and attractions, the room was quiet and comfortable. There was laundry facilities on the floor along with filtered water available - nice touch.
Disliked: The continental breakfast selections were a bit limited, one of the bath towels in my room smelled stale and had makeup on it. The parking lot is convenient but if you arrive late at night, the elevator isn't available and you have to walk five flights of stairs alone - not the worst thing but also not a great option - just a bit of a personal safety concern.
