Great Location, Great Staff
When I visit San Jose I always try to stay at the Fairmont. It is in close walking distance to dozens of restaurants and bars. The atmosphere is lively and upscale. Parking is a bit steep and there are lots within 100ft of the Fairmont that you can park overnight for much cheaper - if you are going to be out by 8am. Other than the parking fees of $26, this is a great property. Breakfast at the hotel can be a little outrageously priced. But overall, I have to give the property 5 stars because I can park elsewhere and can certainly eat elsewhere given its location.
