Hotel Montgomery

Quiet Nice Room in Great Location

Hotel Montgomery provided a substantially cheaper and very comfortable room for my conference at the Doubletree half a block away. Staff was helpful (good directions, made 20 free copies for me when I was pressed for time, friendly). The nightclub that was referenced in earlier reviews as causing problems is no longer functioning and it was quiet. Parking is $20/day; particularly if you are in on weekends there are City garages within a block or so which are cheaper. I'll check rates here before booking my next downtown San Jose stay.

Great Price High Standards Free

Talk about a great hotel close to the downtown convention center. While the hotel was about one block away from the hotel, the walk was well worth the price (about ½ to 1/3 the cost of the chain competitors adjacent to the convention center). Staff was great and easy to work with and the daily room care was above standard. Room use and layout was great with much of the space used but not cluttered. For example the desk space was useful for a laptop computer and the Wi-Fi was free! (It’s sad I have to pay at other hotels for internet access). I’ve stayed at some lower end local hotels as well as some upscale chain hotels and this hotel out ranks them all. Lower price doesn’t equal poor quality and service in this case.

Perfect Hotel

Attended a conference at the convention center in downtown San Jose. This hotel was 1 block away, and was half the cost of the other hotels in the area. The hotel is small, but quaint and very nicely appointed. It is full of modern furnishings but the building architecture is very traditional, makes for an interesting mix of new vs old. I stayed with a group and each of our rooms had the furniture arranged a little differently and were a slightly different size, but all were appointed similarly. The iPod docking alarm clocks are a nice touch, as is the free wireless and wired internet. Each room also has the usual minibar, ironing board/iron, in-room safe and hair dryer. All of the staff were great and very friendly. The front desk staff were always willing to offer recommendations for local places or directions. I met the maids once in the hall and they smiled and asked how our stay way going. Our waitress at the restaurant/bar remembered our drink orders from the night before and the manager also remembered our group and said hello. Overall the staff is willing to go the extra mile, but they don't have the same polished service that the big hotels do. I enjoy the more personal service, but I guess that's different for everyone.

Amazing

I stayed for one night and I wish I'd stayed longer. I upgraded to the suite and loved it. The bed would have fit 3-4 easy and the sofa bed did sleep 3! The staff was very nice, great breakfast, comfortable with all the amenities! If I am in San Jose again it will be my first hotel choice.

Great hotel

Great location, friendly service, love the room.

Above and beyond in service

First off, for the price that I paid, this hotel was way more than I expected. It was very clean and fancy. The only problem I had was with billing, but it was so thoroughly fixed that it actually made me happier with the hotel! Basically they charged me an incidental after telling me that they wouldn't, which completely emptied my checking account. After noticing the charge, I called the hotel and the manager went out of her way to set things right. She called my bank and made sure the money was put back immediately and that I wouldn't be charged overdraft fees. She was also so polite and apologetic that it more than made up for the inconvenience. Mistakes happen, but most people and businesses aren't willing to fess up when they do.

Alittle hot but perfect

I held a bachelorette party here, and his place was great. classy, antique, and beautiful decor. seriously I would totaly repeat the stay for a romantic evening. Only problem is that the air conditioner broke and we didnt know it until the stripper got there. He was alllllllll sweaty and not in a good way. lol. well they gave us a bigger room which was great cause the first part of the party was over. Thank you montgomery

Unsatisfied with the breakfast

Breakfast options were very less and it seemed overly priced.

Amazing Hotel!

This hotel was amazing. I've stayed in several hotels this year and this was one of, if not the best. The staff was so friendly, the room was very nice, and the bed was so comfortable. The style of the hotel was really cool as well. I stayed in town for the Rock and Roll San Jose half marathon and it was so convenient to everything. There are great restaurants within walking distance. The metro light rail runs right by the hotel, so it's really easy to get to and from the airport. I wish I was able to stay longer!

Much more than I expected

I expected a decent hotel for the price in a so-so part of town, but was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of the entire hotel, especially the room. And the neighborhood was full of quality bars and restaurants. I "re-discovered" San Jose and will stay here next time whether on business or pleasure.
