The Spotlight on The Flamingo Motel San Jose

Retro Charm and Budget Comfort Near the San Jose Music Scene

Modern convenience meets classic roadside motel vibes at The Flamingo Motel San Jose. Located just west of downtown on The Alameda, this no-frills, 100% non-smoking motel is a short walk from major concert venues like the SAP Center and San Jose Civic. With free Wi-Fi, free private parking, and in-room amenities like a flat-screen TV, microwave, coffee maker and fridge, it’s a solid pick for music lovers who want comfort without the high price tag.

Rooms are clean and simple, some with kitchenettes for longer stays. The 24-hour front desk makes arriving after a show a breeze, and the location puts you close to late-night bites and drinks without the noise of downtown crowds.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re less than a mile from the SAP Center, so you can walk to the show and skip the traffic. The motel's quiet location is far enough from the nightlife to let you wind down, yet still close enough to grab a nightcap. With 24-hour front desk service and a 15:00 check-in, you can settle in before heading out. Free parking is a huge bonus in a city where it’s often scarce after events.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for an affordable base
- Solo travelers catching a dream concert
- Couples on a low-key weekend escape
- Fans who want a quiet spot to crash after the encore
- Budget-conscious music fans who’d rather spend on merch than a room

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’re within walking distance of local eateries and late-night diners on The Alameda. Rooms come with a microwave and fridge, and there's a coffee machine to help you recover from a night out. For those with a kitchenette, staying in is totally doable.

Nightlife Options

You’re just minutes from bars, lounges, and venues in downtown San Jose. While the motel itself doesn’t offer nightlife, it’s a convenient launchpad for exploring nearby craft breweries, pubs, and live music spots. Perfect for pre-show drinks or a celebratory nightcap.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, quiet rooms and super convenient location—especially for events at the SAP Center. Many mention the value for money, with amenities like free parking and strong Wi-Fi earning positive reviews. It’s described as a “hidden gem” for concert nights, with friendly staff and a no-hassle vibe.

Areas for Improvement

The motel isn’t fancy—think more roadside classic than boutique chic. Some guests note the decor is dated and the walls can be a bit thin. There’s no breakfast offered, but with cafes nearby, it’s easy to grab something in the morning.

The Bottom Line

The Flamingo Motel San Jose is a smart, affordable choice for concert-goers who want a clean, quiet place to stay just minutes from the San Jose music scene.

We enjoyed our time there...

Liked: We liked the refrigerator in the room, the free parking and the location, which was the most important thing for us.
Disliked: There was no breakfast included, but the area, surrounding the hotel has enough good and affordable dining facilities, that no breakfast was not bad thing at all.

Never again

Liked: The property itself is nice. It’s the location is from one point is great for another. It’s horrible sleep there is an impossible. That was the worst sleeping experience in the hotel/motel for me.
Disliked: Did the sound traveling so well and the whatever loading or unloading the garbage truck was working all night I wasn’t sleeping till 3 AM and then something else happened in the street so it’s impossible to sleep in death conditions and that’s why I’m so frustrated. The reception experience wasn’t nice whenever when I get there, there was an old lady which I respectfully understand that doesn’t speak any English and trying to delegate the receptionist work to her son, but I was waiting there for 15 minutes just to get on the call with your son and then it wasn’t resolved. It took me half an hour to get The to open the door for the room. The room itself was nice but they can do much better job at keeping everything clean specially, their bathroom area
