Comfort and Convenience Near San Jose's Music Scene

Modern and budget-friendly, the Best Western Plus Airport Plaza is a great pick for music lovers visiting San Jose. Just 1.6 miles from the SAP Center and under 2.5 miles from downtown venues like the San Jose Convention Center, this hotel offers a relaxed, no-fuss atmosphere with perks like free WiFi, a seasonal outdoor pool, and hot tub. A quick drive from San Jose International Airport (only 1.2 miles away), it's a solid home base for your concert night or weekend getaway.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything when you're catching a show, and this hotel delivers. You’ll be just minutes from major venues, with free on-site parking and easy access to ride shares or public transit. The 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins hassle-free, and the quiet residential setting means you can actually get some rest after the encore.

  • Couples making a weekend of it with wine tasting and live music
  • Fans who want a quieter post-concert recovery space

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel offers complimentary breakfast—perfect after a late night out. You're also close to a variety of walkable restaurants and cafes along The Alameda. Craving a late-night bite? Nearby eateries and delivery apps have you covered.

Nightlife Options

You're within a short drive or ride-share of downtown San Jose’s bars, lounges, and late-night spots. While the hotel itself stays quiet, it's a great launch pad for exploring the city's vibrant nightlife before or after your show.

What People Say

Guests love the clean rooms, friendly staff, and convenient location. Reviewers highlight the easy access to both the airport and downtown venues, and many appreciate the free parking and reliable WiFi. The hot tub is a surprisingly popular way to unwind post-concert.

Areas for Improvement

This isn't a luxury stay, and some guests mention the rooms as being a bit basic—think comfort over style. There's no bar or restaurant on-site, and the pool is seasonal, so keep that in mind if you're visiting in cooler months.

If you're looking for a clean, affordable, and super convenient stay near San Jose's top concert venues, Best Western Plus Airport Plaza hits all the right notes.

Wouldn't stay again

Liked: Close to the freeway
Disliked: The parking lot was dimly lit and it didn't seem like the safest area. There was only one luggage cart and it was lopsided. When we walked into the room someone left a half drunken yogurt drink on the bathroom counter so Im not sure if the room was cleaned before our stay or if someone came after it was cleaned. The first time one of us used the toilet it flooded and we had to change to a new room (next door) the floor must not have been cleaned recently because our socks were completely filthy. The room was very tiny compared to other Best western plus locations we've stayed in. They must've cleaned up the other room because hours later someone was occupying it because we could hear them talking loudly in their bathroom. When they flushed their toilet ours gurgled and the water went low. The staff seemed friendly but I didn't interact with them much. Overall I wouldn't go back to this location

A safe & clean place...

Liked: We were so grateful to find this place. We attempted to stay at another higher end hotel in the area but unfortunately they had no running water after we checked in so we left. The best western saved the day. They had a cute outdoor pool area with a jacuzzi which we ended up having all to ourselves. The rooms were pretty clean, and we felt pretty safe there. They had a decent amount of options for breakfast and we were so grateful they had almond milk! The staff were all very friendly and went above and beyond. It’s not a perfect hotel by any means but it was a bit of a hidden gem because it checked all the boxes as far as amenities, still felt safe, and was fairly budget friendly too.
Disliked: I didn’t love how the parking lot felt so dark and we saw a lot of people hanging out in their vehicles. We couldn’t really tell if they were guests because in some cases it looked like they may have been living in their car. So that wasn’t the best as far as comfort level with leaving our car parked there. The breakfast, while it had a lot of options, which we were grateful for, the quality of the food itself did feel lacking a bit. There was also a lot of noise, I got woken up by the AC going off, and the walls were quite thin and I was woken up by guests next door having conversations in the middle of the night. I ended up only sleeping for a total of 2 hours so that wasn’t the best. That being said overall it was a pretty decent experience.

Comfortable and clean!

Liked: Cleanliness is very important to me. And let me tell you, this place is clean!! Nothing fancy, had all basic necessities available. Some of the best water pressure I’ve seen for the shower. The breakfast was great, my kids and I loved it.
Disliked: Can’t say I have anything negative to say.
