This room was $1300 for 2 people and came with a private bathroom. The train is very old & the entire room was the size of a closet. The sleeping quarters were unbelievable uncomfortable. And two people could not comfortably fit in the bed down below so one had to sleep in the bunk bed where your face is 6 in. from the ceiling and if you're over 6 ft tall you have to sleep in fetal position. There is no room to move. The toilet backed up. The air conditioner/heater didn't work properly. The one chair in the room was broken. Since I came home yesterday, I am still trying to get a hold of Amtrak to get compensated since this room wasn't all that was advertised. The reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because the service was very good. The people working on the train were very nice. But I can honestly say it was one of the worst vacations of my life. And I will NEVER overnight stay on a train again.

Varinder's response (the business owner) came six months AFTER our trip--an extremely delayed reply…read morethat is filled with inaccuracies and completely lacking honesty or accountability. We also have documentation, photos, and our printed reservation confirmation--including the special accommodation notes--that clearly show what actually happened. To clarify the timeline: 1. Reservation Made in Advance We reserved transportation several weeks in advance, specifically requesting the correct ADA-capable vehicle to accommodate passengers traveling with fully motorized mobility scooters, along with our group and luggage. These accessibility needs were clearly documented in our reservation. 2. Wrong Vehicle Arrived for Pickup When the driver arrived at our home for pickup, the vehicle was not the ADA-appropriate van we reserved and could not accommodate our passengers or their scooters. When we contacted ABC, the only solution offered was to send a second van hours later and at nearly double the cost--which would have caused us to miss our ship's departure entirely. This left us scrambling to salvage our travel plans. 3. We Called Ahead to Confirm Our Return Ride Because of the problems at pickup, we proactively called ABC before our return date to ensure the correct vehicle would be sent and that we would not experience the same issue again. Even Varinder admits in his response that we "again" requested the correct van for our ADA passengers--which simply confirms that the proper vehicle had already been requested and reserved from the beginning. 4. ABC Cancelled Our Return Trip During that call--three days before our scheduled return pickup--ABC's response was not to reassure us or correct the issue. Instead, they canceled our return transportation outright. No alternatives were offered. No assistance was provided. There was zero customer service or effort to help resolve the situation. That is why my original review was posted after ABC canceled on us before our return trip. For anyone traveling with ADA accessibility needs, mobility devices, or larger groups, I strongly recommend not relying on this company. Our experience showed they cannot be trusted to provide the vehicle you reserve or support customers when serious problems arise. Fortunately, after ABC canceled our return transportation, we were able to book Uber XXL vehicles, which ended up being far more reliable. You can schedule Uber rides in advance, and they came through when we needed transportation the most. Lastly, I want to be clear that I rarely write Yelp reviews. I am not someone who goes online to criticize businesses without reason. When I do take the time to write a review, it is because the experience was significant enough that others deserve to know about it. This review is intended as a serious warning to potential customers so they can make an informed decision and avoid the same situation we experienced with ABC Shuttle Service. -- Updated 3/13/26 -- in response to Varinder's continued dishonesty.. We NEVER stated that the scooters were foldable. From the start, we clearly disclosed our ADA passenger needs and completed the reservation online, including written notes specifying the mobility scooters and accessibility requirements. ABC never asked whether the scooters were foldable, and if that information was important, it should have been confirmed when reviewing the reservation details that were submitted. The luggage count and all other information were included in the online reservation at the time of booking. This indicates the reservation details were simply not reviewed before assigning the vehicle. The issue here is not miscommunication on our part--it is ABC's failure to review the reservation and properly plan for clearly disclosed ADA needs. We also reject the implication that the reviewer is not connected to the reservation. The last name on the reservation matches mine, and your own response acknowledges that multiple people--myself, my sister, and my mother--contacted your company about this booking to ensure the correct accommodations were arranged. We made multiple efforts to confirm the details in advance. In short, we over-communicated to prevent exactly this situation, while ABC failed to review the information provided and assign an appropriate vehicle. Questioning the legitimacy of the review instead of acknowledging that failure only reinforces the concern that ABC is deflecting responsibility rather than addressing what actually occurred.

This is one of two Light Rail stations in the 95136, and during the time I frequented it, there was ample security and plenty of parking. (I also loved that my daily fare was covered by tuition!). I'll never forget crossing over the overpass from the parking lot, seeing my train coming in from Almaden, and running down the stairs and across the platform to leap onboard before it pulled away. Those were some good times. My husband also proposed to me here in the parking lot with security looking on from the platform.

Yes it can be a long ride but that's why you take the bullet (which makes less stops.) Advantages: - If you live in South SJ you can get to this Cal Train station without the fwy. I take Almaden Expressway all the way down there. - FREE PARKING! Which is WAY better than $4 a day at DT SJ Diridon Station. This is great since sometimes I spend the night in the city and have left my car and its been fine. - Plenty of parking. Even when you get to the station somewhat late you can park your car in the dirt area like others do. Be careful of the deep holes tho! Don't mess up your car. - Right next to VTA for those people that take the Light Rail Disadvantages: - No restrooms - It gets really deserted at times and I've seen shattered glass before (thinking someone's car got broken into) - Not all trains go to Tamien so sometimes I do have to suck it up and drive to the DT station

There's never any parking on the other side of the train station (on Lick Ave, with the children's center), however, there is ample parking on the other side near the Hwy 87 entrance. Relatively easy trek to and from South Jose and like everyone mentioned, it's free! Saves me so much on gas when driving to Palo Alto. Make sure to always have a CalTrain Station Time Table to know exactly what train is arriving, departing and where it's potentially headed.

Can't believe it's been over 10 years since a review has been written…read more First time visit to San Jose on an October weekend, used the VTA Light Rail on Sunday to be specific. I'm torn between giving this station a four or perfect five star review. The reason why I gave this a perfect rating was because the schedule was accurate (round trip) and the inside of the Light Rail was clean and odorless. The announcements for each stop was clear and precise. Pay station was in working condition....accepts cash and credit cards. It's $1.25 for a one way trip. You have the option to buy day passes as well. This is a great transportation system to get you around the city. Even better since it makes a stop for Levi's Stadium (Great America stop). Only reason why I would knock off one star was because the St. James station is located in a park where numerous homeless people hang/resides (and a few who's mind isn't "all there"). So be careful of your surroundings, don't get distracted constantly looking down at your phone, be alert at all times. Also pay attention to where you're walking.
