Campbell is about 5 miles south of the San Jose International Airport, and
the Pruneyard Towers (located in the same Pruneyard Shopping Center as the
Pruneyard Inn) can be seen from at least a mile away.
From the airport, take I-880 South (toward Los Gatos/Santa Cruz), just past
I-280 to the Hamilton Avenue exit. Turn left onto Hamilton Avenue.
Turn right at the third stoplight onto Bascom Avenue.
Pruneyard Inn will be in the Pruneyard Shopping Center
on the second block on the right.
