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.

Why Concert-goers love it

Being just a 6-minute drive from downtown San Jose and close to the light rail, this motel is a practical base for catching a show and getting back easily after. The 24-hour front desk is ideal for late arrivals, and the area remains relatively quiet for winding down after a loud night out. Free parking is a bonus for road-trippers or groups sharing a ride.

Nightlife Options

You’re within a short drive or light rail ride of San Jose’s buzzing bars, lounges, and live music venues. Whether you’re up for a pre-show drink or a post-concert wind down, the area has plenty to offer.

Good - 3.5 out of 5

A clean and decent Motel...

Liked: This is a decent and clean Motel 6 that is convenient to SJC, right off of 101. Note that when exiting the property to head to the airport, do not get on 101N, but bypass that to get on to Brokaw road and save yourself 5-8 minutes in your trip to the airport.
Disliked: If you expecting something more than what Motel 6 delivers, adjust your expectations.

Won’t be going back there...

Liked: The room was fine. Shower and toilet were fine. Mini fridge worked well but had to pay extra to have it in my room :( My dog could stay with me at no charge so that was nice. The young lady and young guys at the front desk were polite and nice which made being there a little less worse.
Disliked: The air conditioner smelled like mildew which was a bummer. The bed was not comfortable and clearly had been used by someone in the same place for a long period of time before my use of the room. The man at the front desk wasn’t very nice when I first arrived and I was staying for a whole month and he was still not very nice to me which really gave me a bad first impression. I was in a room with adjoining doors and that made the sound proofing of the Nextdoor room horrible and I could hear everything that was being said and going on in the room next to me at all hours of the night which was very strange and made me feel uncomfortable which really ruined my stay.
