HotelTonight – West San Jose Hotels in a Flash

San Jose, California is an enormous city. Before I traveled there for the first time for work several years ago, I had no idea what I was in for, as I figured it was just a medium-sized community that was entirely dedicated to the tech industry. I was completely wrong, and I'm happy to admit that these days. That's because for a few years now, I've been traveling there for work regularly. What I've been doing is scheduling my return flight for 24 hours after I finish my work obligations. That has provided me with several opportunities to pick out a neighborhood and explore it for that entire day. I've gotten to know San Jose quite well thanks to that plan. On my most recent trip, I chose to explore West San Jose, as I had not seen much of it to that point. I wasn't worried about lodging, either, as I always have HotelTonight with me when I travel. It's an app that would certainly help me find a West San Jose hotel room as soon as I was ready to book one.

The Vibrancy

The vibrancy of West San Jose smacks you right over the head the second you get out of the car. There is live music playing, even in the middle of the day. That is apparently a regular thing here. Live music really adds some zest to just about anything. There are open markets in the area, selling everything from produce to clothing to crafts to knickknacks I could not even begin to understand. There is a sense of community that feeds off of this environment that is palatable. This is a true community.

The Shopping

If you love to shop, and I do, you can't go wrong in West San Jose. This is not a place for bargain-hunting, however, as all of the recognizable names are high-end in nature. However, there are other options available if you're just looking for something neat to commemorate, say, a day of exploring here. There's an entire block of antique shops in the area, and I spent hours walking through them, finding a couple of trinkets that I couldn't wait to put on display.

The Restaurants

It only stands to figure that a neighborhood that is so vibrant would also have a lot of great food available. West San Jose is filled with little places that all seem to specialize in something. You won't find a lot of "we serve everything" restaurants here. I was told to try a little Mexican restaurant that I would not have seen if I hadn't gotten the recommendation. The flautas were crisp, tasty and warm inside. I could've eaten 100 of them.
