W Silicon Valley: Up the road, but still a W

Although this hotel is quite a ways outside of San Jose, it is still an important location for the business traveller because of its proximity of the high tech businesses in the area.

The W Silicon Valley has all of the amenities you are used to in a W hotel, but it does seem like it is quite a ways away from the downtown scene.

I would recommend this if you need to do business in both Oakland and San Jose, but it is not convienent for San Jose alone.

Westin Santa Clara: Just outside San Jose City Limits - Westin

Without alot of distinction, many cities in the Silicon Valley are not distinguishable. Such is the case with the Westin Santa Clara.

The hotel is about 5 miles from the San Jose airport, which makes this a very convienent choice. With the ability to catch the trolley into downtown San Jose, this becomes even more attractive as a location to rest your head.

Included as in every Westin is the Heavenly Bed... and with it there is a very nice view of the city. Directly behind it is a golf course.

Sheraton San Jose Hotel: Wonderful hotel : )

This hotel is wonderfully situated near the highway, providing easy access to almost every part of the SF. Bay Area.

The beds & the rooms were definitely very clean and professionally cared for. However, the some furniture may need to be replaced. According to a hotel billboard, they are currently planning to replace all furniture within one year.

I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone that is planning to stay in the area, for it has excellent facilities & the hotel rooms are very comfortable. The only problem is that there is only an outside pool(San Jose sometimes gets mild in summer), & the breakfast buffet is too expensive ($10-15)for the food it serves(half cold sausage and eggs).

Unique Quality: The landscape around this hotel is very well done, & the whole area is very quiet and peaceful, though it is not that far from the highway.

We stayed at the Fairmont...

We stayed at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose. This hotel is truly amazing, and I felt like I wasn't an important enough person to be staying there.. Rob and I got off the plane wearing shorts and t-shirts. After walking by the Ferraris and Convertibles to get into the building, we were greated by suits and ties all sitting around someone playing piano in the lobby. Once we got over our initial embarrassment (and proceded to act like we owned the place!) we managed to do ok!

Here's my recommendation: get all dressed up, ladies in a nice cocktail dress, men in a nice suit, and have some drinks in the lounge. Then, proceed upstairs and crash whatever party you can! Rob and I managed to sneak into a companies xmas party and take advantage of the openbar! It was great!
It was over $300 USD per person per night.

Unique Quality: Great Pool, friendly service, classy people!
