Me and my bestfriend were passing through and stayed at the red roof inn in San jose.we had go to seprate rooms I payed with cash and put a 100$ deposit down of cash.when I went to get my deposit back the younger man at the register gave me 5 conterfit 20$ bills .by the time I relized I was 4 hours away on our way home.I contacted the hotel and the lady said I must have gave them the conterfit.Which was a lie because I had just got the money out of the bank.then 2 days later my girlfriend who had got her room with a credit card notices that the red roof had took 200$ out of her account.and she called an they said check our was 11 and we checked out at 11:06 which even still why would they take 200$ if the room was 80$ a night??? These guys are scamers we reported to the police!! Be carefull

I was surpised at the Red Roof Inn was for the money. They have done recent renovations and the pool was drained during my stay so I am assuming that they are redoing it. It's on the rail/bus line and a 1/2 block from a 24 hour Denny's on one side and a 7-11 next door so you can get just about anything you might need. I am writing this review from the hotel and I have had no problems with the internet access. There were some really exceptional features and some real disappointments but they balanced out to an average stay. I was disappointed by the pool since I had to stay on a Sunday with nothing to do but watch football and I wanted to lay out at the pool, but this was balanced by the very very comfortable bed--which since I have some MAJOR back issues is a huge plus for me. Soft pillows and plenty of them and lots of towels too, a big plus for me. The room (122) was very clean, fairly large, with an iron, full size board and a blow dryer and had a desk area with a nice office chair and a dressing area with good light for makeup application. However, the ONLY telephone was over in the office area so I couldn't answer or use the phone from the bed--an overlooked inconvenience on their part, but again--they aren't native-born and used to these little details. There was no bathtub and the shower could have been a little cleaner--also there were none of the little toiletries I have come to expect. The towels were clean and fresh smelling although a little Downey would have made them softer. The maids didn't speak a word of English although they were pleasant enough and when I addressed them in Spanish, they were eager to help and gave me what I asked for. The carpet was new and the colors in the room were pleasant. The toilet paper was imported from a 3rd world country though--it was like cardboard. The hotel is a mix of good and bad and if they would pay attention to the details, they could be outstanding--but the owners are not from this country and I think this has a lot to do with the wild inconsistencies and paradoxes. The TV was a nice flat screen and it was hi-def but they didn't have the hi-def programming which was confusing, and the batteries in the remote were just about dead--yet another overlooked detail. They were supposed to have a fridge and a microwave in the room but they didn't, but the A/C was excellent and the hi-speed wireless internet was very good although the username and password they gave me was long and involved for some unknown reason. Again, a small detail but the little things are what knocked them from 4 stars to 3 and they could be really good if they'd pay attention to the details. There were nice lights above the bed so I was able to see my computer clearly without glare from an incandescent bulb. It wasn't great but it wasn't a disaster and it could have been so much worse! I got what I paid for and probably a little more, and if they start paying attention to the small details, they could really be a great value for the money! I think they are trying to improve so I'd be willing to stay here again and if they are on an upswing then in a month or two, they should be really nice--and the location by the airport was unbeatable for the $66 a night rate.

If you can't afford a better hotel, then sleep at the airport. We stayed here because of the great reviews on tripadvisor, but I now know to take the reviews with a bag of salt. Half of the pillows had large stains on them, there was food stuck to the counter, the sink had only a trickle of water, and the bed was uncomfortable. We would have left but had to be at the airport very early.

This place was not what I expected, I have stayed at other motels in the area for business, and they are usually filled with drug-dealers and prostitutes. However this place asked for all the necessary information to ensure I was the kind of guest they wanted, which I appreciated. The motel room has large flat screen TV's, and very comfortable serta beds. The place is located close to a light-rail station which takes you to the convention center, and has a Denny's located right next door. I would recommend this motel to anyone that is in San Jose for business.
