The Spotlight on Best Western University Inn Santa Clara

Chill Comfort in the Heart of Silicon Valley

Modern and convenient, the Best Western University Inn Santa Clara offers a laid-back stay in the center of Silicon Valley’s best dining, shopping, and entertainment. With easy access to San Jose and Santa Clara’s top venues, including the SAP Center, this hotel blends comfort with location in a way concert-goers will appreciate.
Rooms feature high-speed internet, microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffee makers for all your pre-show and post-show needs. A bonus? The hotel includes a free expanded continental breakfast to refuel the next day.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is key, and this spot delivers—you're just a short drive (or rideshare) from major venues like SAP Center. After the encore, enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep thanks to the hotel’s residential vibe and quiet surroundings. With a check-in time of 3:00 PM and a generous check-out at 12:00 PM, there’s plenty of flexibility to fit your concert schedule. Plus, free local calls and fast Wi-Fi make it easy to coordinate with friends or share your setlist highlights.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends heading to a show together
  • Solo travelers ticking an artist off their bucket list
  • Couples making a weekend of it in Silicon Valley
  • Fans looking for peace and quiet after a loud night out
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel’s central location on El Camino Real means you’re steps from great dining—including late-night eats. Microwaves and fridges in every room make it easy to stash snacks or reheat leftovers. The free breakfast (including hot and cold options) is perfect for those slow, post-concert mornings.

Nightlife Options

There’s no bar on-site, but you’re close to Santa Clara’s growing nightlife scene, with local breweries, lounges, and cocktail spots just a short drive or ride away. Whether you want to keep the party going or just sip a local IPA, options abound.

What People Say

Guests rave about the cleanliness, friendly staff, and quiet atmosphere. Reviewers often mention the hotel’s great value and convenient location near top attractions and venues. Many also appreciate the reliable Wi-Fi and in-room amenities that make a short stay easy and comfortable.

Areas for Improvement

If you’re looking for a full-service hotel with a bar and restaurant, this may feel a bit basic. Also, while the immediate area is safe and central, it’s more suburban than vibrant—so nightlife requires a quick trip.

The Bottom Line

A solid, affordable base for concert-goers who want convenience, comfort, and quiet recovery time—all without breaking the bank.

Great stay!

Liked: The rooms are spacious and clean. Parking right by you room (if you have a room downstairs). The property is well taken care of.
Disliked: The hot breakfast could do some changes. Every day same omelette with singles American cheese is not such a great option, i have witnessed half of the people scratching it off. What about Lactose intolerant people?

Horrible customer service

Liked: The location to what we needed.
Disliked: They gave us a key to a room that was already in use. We opened the door and saw all their stuff. Luckily we saw nothing else because they were not in the room. We slept with the lock on and a desk chair against the door in the new room we got. They offered no upgrade or discounts for such a huge error.
