When we first arrived, there was a lounge area and a band was playing. The music was great and everyone was dancing so it was nice to see a great atmosphere. When we went to our room, we had a beautiful view of the park. The room was beautiful and spacious. I would definitely stay here again. more

My family and I went down to San Jose for the weekend and stayed at the Fairmont San Jose. TravelZoo was advertising a great deal at the Fairmont. The hotel exceeded our expectations- the staff was terrific, the room wonderful, we had a beautiful view and it was everything and more that one would expect from a hotel like the... more

I became a fan of the Fairmont brand when I stayed at the Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City and I joined their Presidents Club membership (frequent stay program). I have stayed at different Fairmont properties and they all excel in quality. San Jose was no different. The rooms are clean and beautifully appointed. If there is even the slightest thing... more

My wife and I were there for my company's party, and so we got a group rate of $129. For that price, the hotel is excellent. The room was large, with a great view. The bathroom was pretty elaborate. First, there's a little hallway with a makeup counter and mirror. Then the bathroom, which has a tub plus a shower... more

This was my first stay at a Fairmont property and I must say I enjoyed every moment of it. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The hotel itself was immaculate! Very comfortable large rooms, nice beds and linens. The cleaning staff were so gracious to me I could use the entire review space to brag about them. I would... more

We have stayed at this hotel 5 times in the last 3 years and each time I wonder how on earth this hotel remains part of the Fairmont collection. The decor, even in the club level rooms, is dated. It is cheap looking and was not terribly attractive the first time around, let alone 10 years later. I will say... more

We booked the "Experience San Jose" package as we were planning just a one night stay and seeing the Winchester Mystery House and the Tech Museum of Innovation - so this was perfect. The price for the room was fair with the tickets included which were 2 adult tickets. We had to buy 3rd tickets for our 8 year old... more

We selected the Fairmont for our recent stay based on the TripAdvisor reviews and other information, although it was slightly further away from the convention center than other options offered. Bottomline -- we made the right decision and friends visiting from the other hotels (such as the Hilton and Marriott) wished they had booked into the Fairmont. The hotel offered... more

Since I got such a great last minute rate ($104) on a wknd, I feel compelled to give this hotel 5-stars. If I had paid more, I might be a little more critical as it certainly is not the nicest fairmont i've been to. But, at this price, it's well worth it. Yes, getting a bit run down (did not... more
