Sonesta Silicon Valley
I like staying here vs the other Sinesta in Milpitas when I travel to NorCal for work because it’s a newer built so the rooms are huge and beautifully designed. It’s unfortunate that they’re now charging for parking $19 a night and they were out of bedroom slippers that day I stayed here.

La Hacienda San Jose Silicon Valley
Room had a stale odor. Lighting not very good. Heat lamp timer broken, possible shower leak. Ice bucket but no ice machine on the floor. It did have a good sized fridge, a microwave and a single cup coffee maker. Basic accommodations, I have stayed in worse.
