Hotel Overview

In the fertile Santa Clara Valley south of San Jose, the Best Western Plus Forest Park Inn makes a comfortable base in Gilroy, California, the self-proclaimed garlic capital of the world.

The premium outlet mall is close by for shopping, the rolling hills hold wineries and golf courses popular for weddings, and the beaches of Santa Cruz lie a scenic drive west over the coastal range.

An outdoor heated pool, a hot tub, and an exercise room round out the stay, with flexible meeting space for groups and weddings. Come for the garlic harvest, and Gilroy keeps the whole valley close.
