San Jose's airport is a great option if you're in the bay area. It's a little out of the way if you're heading to San Francisco or Oakland, but it is a lot less hectic and the terminal is in great shape.

I'm just traveling through, but I did have to get my bags from baggage claim and I will need to check them back in tomorrow morning (no connecting flight this evening.

Baggage claim consists of just two carousels so it's not too difficult to find which one is spewing forth luggage from your flight.

Check in is on the same level. Most of the food , drink, etc. vendors are in the terminal area that is past security, but there is a Starbucks and a little "marketplace" available by baggage claim if you need something when you're getting your bags.

Not sure about parking, but there appears to be a huge garage structure right across the street.

There is a sign for a USO, but all I could find was the Military Lounge, which is not a USO and is only for active duty military personnel. It's something the airport does for the military and is a nice thing.
