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.

Superb

Liked: I liked the cleanliness of the room and the upkeep during our stay. We asked for more towels to the room at some point and those were brought to us right away. The friendliness of the housekeepers. Front desk staff was also nice.
Disliked: I didn't like the pool towels ran out and I went into front desk and asked for more, she told me housekeeping would take out and they never did. My kids walked back to the room dripping wet. The breakfast was good but at least maybe every other day change up the hot breakfast. Maybe not that big of a deal if you stay one night but we were there four so it was repetitive.

Overall, I had a pleasant...

Liked: The hotel is in a great location, with easy access to nearby attractions. The breakfast spread was impressive, offering a good variety to start the day right. What truly stood out was the staff, they were exceptionally kind, welcoming, & always helpful.
Disliked: While the room was generally well-kept, with the bathroom and bed arrangements maintained daily, I did notice a buildup of dust under both beds, which appeared to have been overlooked during my 03-day stay. With just a bit more attention to detailed cleaning, the overall guest experience could be even better.

Liked: Very quiet location and super comfortable beds. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was a nice bonus and better than similar hotels.
Disliked: The breakfast was good, but not great. I would have been nice to have more fruit and healthy options. The bathroom was very small. The parking lot did get full with worker's trucks.
