Overview

Rating

The Flamingo Motel is located in a perfect location for travelers heading to San Jose, CA. It is just a short walk from the HP Pavilion and the San Jose Convention Center but is also convenient to such regional specialties as the J. Lohr Winery. The famous Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum, the SAP Center, and the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts are all also a short walk from the front door. The Mineta San Jose International Airport is less than three miles from the hotel and the Amtrak Station is less than a mile.

While this makes it perfect for those visiting wine country, exploring regional colleges, or doing sightseeing and vacationing, it is also ideal for business travelers. Every room includes a work desk with free Wi-Fi just for this purpose. Rooms also include full-sized kitchens that include refrigerators, microwaves, and beverage systems. They are all furnished with premium entertainment systems and cable TV, direct dial phones, as well as separate dining areas, large and private baths, and more.

The hotel also has many amenities that include free parking on site, daily maid services, some business services, along with a 24-hour front desk. There is also a vending area, although there is no restaurant on the premises.

When seeking a classic accommodation in an ideal location in San Jose, it is tough to match all that The Flamingo Motel makes available. Just minutes from some of the city’s most popular destinations it is less than 12 miles from Google Headquarters, the famous Shoreline Amphitheater and the Computer History Museum, and will become a favorite.
