I just returned from a conference at the Fairmont. I stayed in a queen room in the main building. The room was lovely and clean. The bathroom was huge with a bathtub and separate shower. It looked as though the room had recently undergone an update. I had breakfast room service twice, and I was very happy with the service... More

Stayed at the Fairmont Hotel for New Years. Check in pretty long even though we came early thinking we would miss the crowd. Staff polite and welcoming with good interpersonal skills. Room : Initial impression opening door was how large the room was and how clean it smelled. Opened curtain on 18 th floor to see an airplane flying just... More

Located in the heart of the city, this classic hotel has been updated with all amenities but has keep its old-style excellent service. The rooms are large and comfortable. Several restaurants within the hotel and dozens around it in the area. Not inexpensive, but if you are going to San José and crave some pampering, you can't do any better... More

The hotel is solid and has all amenities of a hotel of this brand, however a make-over would be good given the price range it is in. The room was freezing and difficult to get the temperature up, if you do the noise level gets extremely loud. The location is very central, however parking is expensive with 26 $ (valet... More

Stayed on our last night in California & loved this hotel. Fantastic corner room with views over town. Beautiful spacious room. Lovely bar area. Close to town centre for other amenities, though not much to see in SJ. Would return to hotel in a minute. Staff were superb. More

This hotel is a bit tired and worn around the edges. Typically, in a hotel that positions itself as a top tier brand, you would expect to at least see attention to detail even if it was getting close to the time when a make-over was in order. I was in a double room in the main building. Here's what... More

The best part of the hotel is the location! It is close to everything in downtown San Jose! The hotel is a nice, but a little over the top on decor which is pretty typical of this hotel chain. Everyone was friendly and the rooms were clean. More
