The mega bus will drop you at the Diridon Caltrain/Amtrak station. From there, it’s a $15 to $20 Lyft ride to the hotel.
The airport is a bit farther from the hotel, perhaps $25.

There are afternoon megabusses that goes from anaheim to san jose, california. How much is a lyft/uber ride from there to the hotel? I will definitely be taking the convention party bus back home.
