Hotels in San Jose, CaliforniaAn independent mid-range business hotel in Sunnyvale
7.9/10
Generous rooms and useful freebies, but room condition varies.
The Grand is an independent mid-range business hotel in Sunnyvale, not San Jose proper. It’s a good pick if space and practical extras matter more than polished interiors. Expedia and Booking.com guests repeatedly praise the oversized rooms and bathrooms; recent Trip.com guests also highlight friendly reception staff. Free parking, included continental breakfast and complimentary evening drinks make it a useful Silicon Valley base.
The catch is uneven upkeep: recent Expedia and Trip.com reviews mention dated furnishings, faulty lights and noisy air-conditioning alongside plenty of clean, comfortable stays. We’d favor the newer Annex for a more modern room. The hotel currently confirms that the Jacuzzi is not operational, and neither room service nor the shuttle is running. Skip it if you want full-service amenities or consistently fresh interiors.
