Part of the Gay San Jose Guide — bars, events & things to do.

San Jose, California
Mid-range downtown hotel by the Convention Center
Four Points by Sheraton San Jose Downtown is a mid-range hotel a block from the Convention Center, set in the restored 1911 T.S. Montgomery building on 1st Street. It's a straightforward, walkable downtown base — a rooftop terrace and on-site restaurant, steps from the SoFA district's bars and the Post Street gay strip. A practical Gay Friendly option in the center of downtown.
