Marriott is directly connected to San Jose's McEnery Convention Center.
You never have to walk outside to experience potentially inclement
weather when attending a conference or convention. Whether attending a
convention or not, we love this hotel for what it's got.
Beautifully,
decorated, light and cheery rooms with great views of San Jose and a
location
across the street from The Tech Museum of
Innovation: a science and technology center featuring exhibits, an IMAX
theatre, learning center and gift shop offering the latest educational
toys, games and high tech gadgets. The San Jose Museum of Art is an easy
few-block stroll, plus Center for Performing Arts and San Jose State
University one half mile away.
Located
in the heart of downtown San Jose, the light rail train is outside the
door of the convention center, providing transportation around the area
and to the airport, located only a few miles distance. Marriott
quality service and amenities such as a fitness center with heated
outdoor swimming pool, the latest in meeting and presentation technology
and Michael Mina's Arcadia restaurant provide all that business or
pleasure travelers can want or need.
