Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport
Our A/C didn't work and there was no resolution. We just had to deal with a 78 degree room.

Homewood Suites By Hilton Cariari San Jose
Airport shuttle runs once an hour so we opted to take a taxi for $23usd, kind of steep but we preferred to get to the hotel faster than not. Check in was easy, staff was friendly, room was clean and very spacious- a great place to stay before or after airport.
