Though the hotel is large, there are areas seemingly small by design that offer the sense of coziness away from crowds in the area. A bright breakfast/lunch hotel restaurant, The Fountain, awaits you. Rooms are spacious enough with a separate dressing area so that you can have guests into your room and not feel they are in your private space.... More

This is the best place to stay in San Jose. The service is great and the rooms are very comfortable. The rooms are much larger than the Marriott or the Saint Claire with a comfortable work space. The bathrooms are also very spacious with a great shower. The lobby bar is a great place to unwind at the end of... More

Rooms - I have stayed at this hotel several times and have never been blown away. If you get stuck in a room that hasn't been renovated you are not getting you money's worth - dingy with peeling wallpaper. The updated rooms do however look nice - marble bath, nice furniture, comfy bed and linens. Cleanliness - I'm surprised by... More

This is a nice hotel in a nice location. Fairmont properties are pretty universal in terms of their service and amenities which is a GOOD thing. Their beds and rooms are great! There is a Grill on the Alley attached to it which is a very nice perk of one wants to grab a nice meal. Love Fairmonts and always... More

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

my mom and i shared a room (two double beds) after her birthday celebration. the room was huge but a little odd in the layout. the closet was far from the beds and there was a small mirrored space outside the bathroom that felt out of place. strange. the beds were comfy when you first got in but they ended...

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
