Nice Hotel; Excellent Service
This hotel is what you would expect from Fairmont: above average rooms (they are showing a bit of age but very well maintained) and excellent service.
A few pointers:
1. Internet is free if you sign up for their frequent guest program. This is a no brainer. It took me about 2 minutes and saved me about $15 per day.
2. The room service is very good but expensive. I didn't order that much and my bill was around $70 for dinner. Once again, the food was great but expensive.
3. The hotel is located in downtown San Jose so there is a lot within walking distance: a bakery/cafe next door, a starbucks, museums, and several places to eat. They have valet parking available but if you are at a conference here, there's really no need to rent a car.
