Upscale Yet Comfortable
By Califas, 6/9/11
I had a business trip and a friend recommended the Fairmont. With the exception of some of the front desk personnel, my experience was a wow. Mario the bartender was great, the restaurants were pretty good, but best was that it's centrally located. The San Jose Airport is almost downtown so it was very convenient to The Fairmont. It fronts a great park, where there was live music playing the afternoon of my arrival. The Tech Museum is right across the park, and the Convention Center about one block away. Someone told me the Chidren's Discovery Museum is also close by, as are a number of other parks, like Happy Hallow. I was tempted to see a concert at the HP Pavilion but didn't want to go alone. There are movie theaters less than one block away, and many chain restaurants (Morton's, P.F. Chang's) very close by, as well as a number of great ethnic restaurants, bistros, tons of clubs, and bars. San Jose's Art Museum is next door. A staff member told me in the winter there is an ice rink next door in the palm plaza, so you skate around the palm trees! I even took a guided tour of the St. Joseph Cathedral which was fascinating (I love history, and didn't know San Jose is the oldest city in California, and St. Joseph's the oldest parish) I wish I had had more time, because I met a number of great guys at the Fairmont's lounge, especially one in particular! I will return, not for business but for that one great guy; go to The Fairmont and fall in love!

Average. Not a 5 Star
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 2/5/11
Good downtown location. Pleasant and clean lobby. Mario at the bar was terrific. He kept us coming back each night. Service at the front desk was ok. They didn't have our reservations and check in information/credit card authorization though we had sent it to them days in advance. Just a bit disorganized, but otherwise friendly.

Loved it!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/3/10
We were there last week. It was a great place! I loved just sitting in the lobby bar. The bartender Mario was great!!! He did a great job keeping up with all the people at the bar. I would say he was one of the best bartenders. Friday night also had a great bartender. Frank. He also did a great job! very nice people after a very long day of traveling. My wife and I loved the rooms, and the pool. We want to come back next year. Someone said to come over new years!! it's always a great time. anyway, both my wife and I would come back in a heartbeat! Just one little complaint.. the folks at the front desk we not very friendly.. they need to smile more and act like they enjoy working with the public.

I won't recommend this hotel !!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/25/10
This hotel do have parking spots but offer to valet parking service only, it's cost you lots of money.. unfair to the hotel guests... they have to park their cars somewhere which cost $12-15 each time, no unlimited in & out service... will cost the guests lots of money in parking if they in and out few times a day.. DO NOT CONSIDER !!!

Beds bad, overpriced, too loud, EXPENSIVE!
By TinFL, 5/17/10
Went here for a conference. Wanted to pay with debit and was notified that there would be an additional charge of $100 per night hold by paying with debit. It's cash! Anyway, room was spacious and clean. Bed was horribly uncomfortable. Walls are paper thin. Hot water sucks in showers. Room service delivery fee is $4.25 plus 22% automatic gratuity. Wi-fi is $13.95 per 24 hours. Business center charges $1.00 to print one page. That's AFTER you log in to their system and drop a $75 hold on a major card; then, minimum charge for using their computer to print is $8.50. You can self-park or use valet. I chose self-park in parking garage a hike away. I didn't go in and out. Drove up and parked overnight. Charge was $28. I would not recommend staying at this hotel. I would stay somewhere else where at least parking and wi-fi are free. It was not a pleasant business trip at the Fairmont San Jose.

Wonderful!
By Caitlin, 10/31/08
LOVED it!! I was treated with AMAZING, over-the-top service. I HIGHLY recommend this place. I felt like a rock star with how great they treated me. ONLY drawback to this place - no outside hot tub!! If this place had a hot tub, it would be 5 stars...... I will stay here again no matter what.

Elegant hotel but average service
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 6/23/08
Really nice hotel but the frills did not make up for the generally less than courteous front desk personnel. They were condescending and "talked down" to me when I brought a balky TV remote issue to them. They "lectured" me on how to use a remote rather than just reply that they would check it out. The older model TV seemed more appropriate in a roadside motel and not this nice place. In addition, the shower drained slowly leaving 2 inches of standing water by shower's end. This reported problem was NOT resolved and remained for the duration of my 4 night stay. The TV issue was repaired by a repairman who also left a condescending message on voice mail. What ever happened to Thank You for visiting our hotel and sorry for the inconvenience! But then, this is California and attitudes there run along these lines just about everywhere you go.

Terrible service not worth the cost.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/3/07
I stayed at the Fairmont in April 07. I was amazed at the poor service I recieved. When I got off my cab there was no one at the front door to assist me with my bags. A lady was at the phone, didn't even acknowledge me. When I struggled with my bags to the front desk the staff at the desk were busy with there things, kept me waiting. When I finally got my chance the agent who was a tall blond lady very bluntly told me that my room was not ready and that she didn;t know when it would be ready. She asked me to check in later and to store my bags at the front door. She was unfriendly, and blunt. Finally when I got my room there was a cot in the room that I did not need and it had 2 beds when I had asked for just one. I wish i was told about the same at check in. Felt like i had just been dumped into some room that was available and what I really wanted didn't even matter. I would never stay at the fairmont again cause the price they charge for everything little thing bisides the huge room rate is atrocious.
