I recently spent two nights at the Moorpark Hotel in San Jose, California. My son who is six years old was playing in a local chess tournament nearby. The room was comfortable and clean. We had a little difficulty working the heating system and it was too hot, but once we figured it out, we were fine. The customer service was just right. When we arrived, we had a phone call from the front desk to inquire if our room was satisfactory. They were accommodating and quickly followed through with my request for more towels.

The lobby of the hotel is decorated with modern furniture and has a fireplace. We were busy all day, but at the end of the day, the hotel was a great place to come back to and relax at. Our room was large and had two queen size beds with a sitting area that included a large chair and desk. Bathrobes, an iron/board and coffee pot were all available for our morning wake-up routine. The hotel had a lounge on the second floor where my son could play pool or where I could slip out to make a call when my son was sleeping. The swimming pool and hot tub provided hours of fun for us. They have cabanas so, when it is too hot, you can sit by the pool in the shade.

The in-house restaurant and room service were great. When my son got hungry, we could order him a snack. They serve American food and when the weather is hot, you can eat outside by the pool. There’s a cocktail hour each night at 5PM where many of the guests talk and discuss their travel plans. They have a large continenetal buffet breakfast where you can find bacon and eggs to miso soup and rice for ten dollars a person. The staff was friendly and helpful in getting us whatever we needed.
The hotel is located close to freeway and just a few miles from downtown San Jose. There is an Applebee’s right next door to the hotel. Santana Row is close by and the staff at the front desk was happy to refer us to various delicious restaurants. There is a grocery store close by. The hotel is family friendly and a great price for all the amenities it provides. I would definitely stay at the hotel again and recommend it to other families that would be interested in it.

This review is based on a complimentary stay at the Moorpark Hotel in San Jose, California. I received no other compensation besides the hotel stay and the hotel did not express any requirement that I express a particular point of view.
