Homewood Suites by Hilton, San Jose Airport-Silicon Valley

CHECKIN & SERVICE -- The front desk representative was very friendly, & they swiftly handled our early checkin (No additional fees). There is also a virtual/SMS concierge service, which is convenient due to the distance of the units from the front desk.

Electronic/tap pay is accepted & uncovered parking is available onsite.


ROOM (suite) -- The suites are relatively modern, spacious enough for at least 3, & have good lighting (functional windows for natural light + overhead fluorescent lights).

The workspace area is shared with the kitchenette (a bit awkward), but there are plenty of other seating options.

The walls are thin & noise from the hallway leaks in significantly.


BED -- Very supportive king mattress with good firmness level. Linens were soft & clean. Pillows had a decent density.

All the ingredients for a decent sleep.


BATH -- The water pressure in the combination shower was very weak & temperature was unpredictable at times...

On a positive note: the cleaning standards were high, bath products are pre-stocked & the towels are on the larger side.


WI-FI -- Free Wi-Fi isn't particularly robust, so plan accordingly if you need a strong connection for remote with:

--Performance--

Video streaming - average

Online gaming - average

Video chatting - average

--Nerd Stats--

13-15 Mbps download

12-15 Mbps upload

0% packet loss

8.9 ms latency

24.4 ms jitter


FOOD & DRINK -- Not DoorDash/UberEats friendly, but the kitchenette is primed for all your basic needs, equipped with stove, full-size microwave, fridge, dining ware & coffee bar.

There is also breakfast served in the main lobby, but that's quite a distance unless you're staying right by the main office.


NOISE -- The property as a whole can be quite noisy:

Gardeners leaf blowing, kids playing in parking lot, loud housekeeping staff. It's tolerable, just surprising given the vibe of the area.


VERDICT

Considering the price & location, it's still quite competitive even with the noise level & shower experience.

I'd stay here again for the customer service & the fact that it's only steps away from my favorite pho restaurant.

Significant room for improvement (esp. WI-FI ) but overall a pleasant stay.

3.5/5⭐️
