This hotel is just about two blocks from the convention center and about half the price of the Hilton and Marriott that are right by the cc. My husband attended a conference there and I came along. The area is safe...I enjoyed walking around town on my own during the day. Lots of restaurants, bars, and a movie theater all... more

I read the review on Tripadvisior as a good place to stay since it's in Downtown SJ. Of course when I got there, my room wasn't ready despite booking online and sending them an email that I was arriving early. I was kinda shocked so I was about to cancel the reservation since I had plently of time according the... more

Attended a conference, and I was paying my own way, so I needed a budget accomodation. The Ramada was Ok in that respect: I paid a lot less to stay there, and it is only a couple of blocks from the Conv. Center. That said, I found it to be noisy, (never stayed in a hotel that handed out ear... more

I recently stayed here during a several day seminar held at the Crowne Plaza by Convention Center. BAD IDEA!!! As previous reviews stated, the room rates were less than half the price. I made my decision between Ramada and Marriott, and what a horrible mistake I made! I am usually someone who travels for work and on a budget, and... more

This is an old, decently remodeled property in the "motor-court" style as another reviewer pointed out. It's a couple blocks from the convention center, and several blocks from the university. Plenty of restaurants nearby. We really liked Original Joe's Italian restaurant which is just a short walk. The check-in people are very friendly and helpful. Parking was ample while I... more

I stayed at this hotel with a group who were going to a convention. The hotels at the convention center (Hilton and Marriott) cost about twice as much as the Ramada so we were looking for an affordable alternative. The Ramada is about 2 blocks from the convention center in an area that is being completely revitalized with restaurants, clubs,... more

Three of us travelled to California the week of Jan 8th to 15th. We booked 2 rooms at this hotel using a trip rewards program for one night. I opened the door and was so disgusted I wouldn't step in. The room was a pig sty with 1/2 empty 2 litre bottles of pop lying around, cigarette butts overflowing in... more

I stayed here for five days in December 2006 and I got here back a year later, even if only for one day, because it's one of the best hotels in its price range. The first time I came here I did find a room not perfectly cleaned, but as soon as I told that at the front desk I've... more

I am a single business woman. I stayed at the Ramada as an alternative to the higher priced hotels while I attended a conference at the convention center. It met all my needs, including free wireless internet, complimentary breakfast, in-room refrigerators, programmable wake-up calls, hair dryers, coffee makers, ironing boards and irons in the room already. The room was clean,... more
