  San Jose, California, is 45 miles southeast of San Francisco and was established in 1717. Frommer's Travel Guide reports it is the largest city in Northern California and features a modern light-rail train system and abundant shops and restaurants, as well as a reputation for the fine arts. The travel guide also notes San Jose is one of America's sunniest and safest cities. While the city of San Jose has money--it is Silicon Valley, where many software and Internet fortunes have been born--it is still possible to find cheap hotels in the area. While the accommodations may be budget friendly, travelers can still expect amenities like complimentary breakfast and free Internet access.
