I chose the Fairmont because I was attending a concert at the San Jose Civic Center. I was running late for check-in. The staff was friendly, professional, and accommodating. I am really happy I chose the Fairmont. It made my experience that much more wonderful.

The location of the hotel is great. The staff was nice and the room was nice. The best part of the room is the bathroom, it was very big and had a separate bathtub which was very clean. Pool was nice and they offer complimentary floats for the kids.

We’re given a nice upgrade and as always, good service and friendly staff. They are going through a renovation but we were not inconvenienced.

Kim

Excellent location but I think we expected a little more being that it's the Fairmont chain. The room was like any other big box hotel -- like a Marriott or Hyatt; we expected a little more oomph. There wasn't anything wrong with the room other than it was mildly dated and my kids were surprised that the toilets had the commercial type flush with a bar instead of a normal residential type one.

How clean the hotel is from the room and the lobby. Also the staff is very friendly and helpful. The food and the offerings from the bar are great.

The breakfast was good. However I feel we should always have breakfast included with the price of the room. The gym had everything you needed including a steam room. The live music was amazing.

Hotel was under renovation when I stayed here this weekend. I've stayed at the Fairmont before and have had the beautiful Fairmont experience. But for the price I would have liked to known ahead of time about the construction do I could have booked elsewhere this trip.

- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 2 nights
When booking room no mention of renovations very disappointed it was a Birthday celebration and we would not have stayed had we known. This stay was definitely not the standard of The Fairmont Hotel that we had experienced before. Dated room, when running shower pipes made loud noise & shower door squeaked really loud opening & closing in which shower leaked on the carpet through the wall on both sides and made the carpet wet and smelly, which I reported before we left for the train to go to The Dodgers games & was told they would send maintenance while we were gone. No message or contact made with us when we came back we stayed another night, asked about it upon checking out no record of the call or maintenance, were told they would send us a voucher for 1 free night and I think it should have been for two nights based on the conditions and lack of follow through and poor customer service. In addition the elevators were dirty and carpet on the 12 floor was very dirty upon entering the elevators and halls were very hot with no air circulating.
Front desk was very friendly and staff. Location of Hotel is great. Great view

Poor handling of hazmat situation. Hotel had a suicide with poisonous gas that sickened many people yet they were very difficult and rude about giving money back as we did not want to stay there. Really poor management. Shocking especially under these circumstances that they would expect people to pay top dollar to stay there under those circumstances. Not even apologetic. Extremely dissatisfied.
