If you're under 21, you might face some challenges finding hotels,
as many require guests to be at least 21 to check-in. This age requirement is typically in place for
legal reasons, to lower insurance rates, or because they don't believe young people will be able to
behave responsibly during their stay. It mainly applies to hotels in the US, as in Europe they are
usually more relaxed and consider guests adults from the age of 18.
To make finding a hotel easier, I've put together this list of hotels and stays in San Jose that
allow guests aged 18 and up. You can see it here below - hope you find it useful!
