The Spotlight on Motel 6-San Jose CA - Airport

Budget-Friendly Comfort Just Minutes from San Jose’s Music Scene

Modern and minimalist, Motel 6-San Jose CA - Airport offers a no-frills, clean stay just 2 miles from San Jose International Airport and only a short drive from downtown’s concert venues and nightlife. With easy access to public transport and free parking, this motel is a smart pick for music fans who want convenience without the high price tag.

Each room is equipped with cable TV, air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. The 24-hour front desk makes your late-night check-ins a breeze, and the location—just a block from the Karina Court Light Rail Station—makes getting around stress-free.

Very poor

Disliked: The room was nonsmoking, but as soon as we opened the door. The smell of smoke was too strong. The AC wasn't working. It has to be on 61 so it can stay on. If we put it higher it would turn off. The bathtub was dirty. It was midnight and there was a lot of noise outside. Kids were running and screaming and adults too. At 6 am a lady was screaming until 9 am. We left the room at 10 am. We came back at 4 pm and they didn't clean the room. The lady who cleaned the room got there around 5 pm. She was nice.
