Fairfield Inn Suites is my home away from home when im in San Jose. I absolutely love staying at this hotel! The staff is super amazing! I've been greeted and assisted by a great front desk staff which includes, Anthony, Edward, Ben, Anna, Ken & Maii! Always positive vibes & extremely hospitable and welcoming. The housekeeping staff is also amazing! Always hard working & ready to assist with any requests. To name a few; Edgar Jorge, Danny, Daniel & all of the ladies are extremely nice. The breakfast staff is also amazing, making sure everything is fully stocked, fresh and warm and also making u feel welcome. The breakfast is awesome and includes several options like yogurt, cereals, fruits, eggs, breakfast sides, juices, hot chocolate, tea bags, and even a station to make your own waffles! Lots of lovely spots to sit at and enjoy ur breakfast meal. The pool & jacuzzi area are my favorite because its like a resort! Palm trees, lots of lounge areas & tables to sit at and enjoy a meal or just sit in Peace. Since I've stayed at this hotel for over 2 years now, I've gotten to stay in several different rooms & they are all extremely nice and comfortable! My favorite part is the balcony! The Suites are beautiful and extremely comfortable! The beds are firm but very cozy. The couches are very nice looking & comfortable also. The bathrooms are very nice and clean & come with essentials. Casino Matrix & Bay 101 are nearby including several different restaurants by the hotel (literally in the same shopping center) which is also extremely convenient. Parking areas are well lit & super convenient and I feel my vehivle is always safe due to Security that walks around & the tall gentleman (sorry didnt catch his name) that drives the shuttle is always very friendly and helpful. I appreciate all the staff behind the scenes as well! Great job to everyone! Fairfield Inn is my favorite place to stay when in San Jose!

I can make it short. Room was great, really big for that good price. Bed was very comfortable and quiet, everything was clean and the stuff was friendly. Means everything as expected. Breakfast was a typical complementary breakfast and for me totally okay. There was a bit of everything. I used the gym, which was equipped with modern, should be new equipment. It was very nice to use. Just as info the parking lot is perfect and you can park almost at your room and in the surrounding area you will find everything to „survive“.

Traveled to San Jose with no time to plan for a room. I have stayed at Fairfield by Marriott before so I decided to stay at this hotel because of its location near the airport. It was the best decision I made, this Fairfield did not disappoint. Very clean, walking distance for food and gas station with a little market. Easy to access highways and close to restaurants and shopping. I will stay here again. Rates were very reasonable and I extended my stay to stay a Friday night and the rate was actually lower, BONUS!

Very clean rooms and bathrooms. Staff is very helpful and courteous. Smiling faces greets you all the time. I will come back for sure. Microwaves and mini fridges are great to have in the rooms. Breakfast options are fresh and more than enough (I got only yogurt but there were hot food, eggs, etc. options). There are enough parking spots at the back side of the hotel. Good food and store options right in front in a strip mall. Caution: A bit hard to find the entrance to the hotel from the street. You need to be on the right side of white Sepetator cones on main Street before traffic light. The outdoor pool area is nice to have when weather is warmer.

Nice, clean, contemporary hotel. It shares space in a strip mall-ish lot on the corner so the area around it is cramped. Although it has a good variety of food places literally in front of the hotel that you have the convenience of walking straight to. The lot is dimly lit at night so I didn't like that. Otherwise I generally felt safer in the day. There was a homeless guy loitering around both days who would stare at us, which made me slightly uncomfortable. It's right off a big intersection which I don't prefer. However it is close to SJ airport and freeway access. Parking and breakfast are complimentary. The breakfast buffet was just ok for the hot items. Standard fare for a breakfast buffet but still appreciated. We would stay again.

A pleasant hotel. Very clean and convenient. A former Howard Johnson, it has a vintage California feel, but modern beds and amenities. All rooms have balconies or little patios (poolside rooms). Pretty courtyard/garden. Great value! You could easily spend more and get less somewhere else.

Nice hotel. Despite the proximity of busy highways (101, 87) and the airport, my room on the ground floor was pretty quiet. Room was clean and equipped with modern furniture. Good breakfast buffet and heated swimming pool. There are a few eateries you can walk to nearby. Friendly staff greeting customers walking by.
