Residence Inn by Marriott San Jose Airport

Residence Inn San Jose Airport is one of the more practical hotel options for poker players who want to stay near both Bay 101 Casino and Casino M8trix without relying on a downtown San Jose hotel.

Bay 101 Casino is the closest poker destination. Current location sources place the hotel roughly 0.3 miles from Bay 101, making it a realistic short walk for many players. That is useful for early tournament starts, late cash-game sessions, and quick room breaks between long playing days. Bay 101 lists its address as 1788 N. First Street and says it is open 24 hours, which makes nearby lodging especially valuable for players who may finish sessions late at night.

Casino M8trix is also nearby at 1887 Matrix Boulevard. It is slightly farther from the hotel than Bay 101, but still close enough to serve as a practical secondary poker destination. Players should treat Casino M8trix as a 10–15 minute walk depending on route, pace, and conditions, or a very short rideshare when carrying bags, traveling late, or avoiding street-level walking after a long session.

The hotel works well for players splitting time between Bay 101 and Casino M8trix. It is not connected to either casino, so players should not expect the same convenience as an on-property casino hotel. The tradeoff is space, kitchen access, included breakfast, airport convenience, and a quieter extended-stay setup.

The in-room kitchens and free breakfast are useful for multi-day poker trips because players can avoid eating every meal inside a casino or restaurant. The on-site convenience store and laundry facilities also help on longer stays. Dining at Casino M8trix is a plus if players are heading there anyway, while Bay 101 and the surrounding airport corridor provide additional nearby food options.

Parking is paid at the hotel, with Marriott listing on-site self-parking at $15 per day. Players driving between poker rooms should factor that into the nightly value calculation. For many visitors, the best use case is parking once at the hotel and walking or using short rideshares to nearby poker rooms.

The main drawbacks are that Residence Inn San Jose Airport is not a casino resort, does not place players directly inside a poker venue, and sits in an airport/business corridor rather than a nightlife-heavy area. For players who value a suite, kitchen, breakfast, airport access, and quick proximity to both San Jose poker rooms, it is a strong practical lodging option.
