Hotel Information:

The San Jose Zebras invite you to stay at the Official Zebra Tournament Hotel. We have once again selected the Santa Clara Marriott in order to provide our visiting teams with a safe and enjoyable place to stay. The hotel is centrally located, with easy freeway access to all the gyms. The on-site restaurant and room service can ease the stress of getting to the games on time. The Player and Adult Social will be held at the Hotel, so there is no need for late night driving. Come stay and have fun discussing the day’s events with other parents in this relaxed atmosphere.

Please support the Zebras by making your reservations though our Zebra Hotel Coordinators. We ask that you do not contact the hotel directly as our contract requires that all reservations will be handled in this manner. We would like to respectfully request that your team make every effort to stay at the Marriot, as it greatly supports our ability to host all the events that make for an enjoyable tournament weekend.
