5 star hotel deals in San Jose?
 
Anyone know if there is any deals going on Hotel in San Jose b/w Jan, 2013 to Feb, 2013,

There aren't any 5 star hotels in San Jose.

There are some that might make it to 4 star - the St Claire, the Fairmont, or maybe the Valencia in Santana Row or the Doubletree near the airport, plus a couple of others.

Will you have a car?

Aren't you the one that was asking about a taxi from SFO to San Jose? Why not just fly into San Jose International Airport?

You'll still need a car to get around greater San Jose.

Why not look on internet websites like Tripadvisor or Kayak to see if there are any "deals"?

OK - your other thread said you were going to San Francisco- but everything else has been about SJ.

Just where are you wanting to go? If it is SJ then consider flying there. If it is San Francisco -is there a reason you want to stay in SJ? As et says there are no '5 star' hotels there - few I would consider '4star'. What is your actual budget?

And maybe clarify if you are mainly going to SF or SJ (as I mentioned on your other thread, SJ is NOT a reasonable base for touring SF)

I have stayed several times recently at the Fairmont - I am in their president's club for what it's worth. It is superior but you must stay in the rooms that have been re-furbished.

I have also recently stayed in the St Claire - not in the same league as the Fairmont.

Both hotels have very good customer service.

Les than 30 minutes south of San Jose is San Martin and there is the very nice CordeValle Resort.

suzie: It seems the OP won't have a car so I don't think San Martin would work. (on another thread she asked about taxis w/ child seats)

There is no way for someone to know that when posting to the questions on this thread. So I'll just let it go and the Op can do with the info as they wish.

not to worry -- we've asked her for more details/clarification on both threads but so far nothing . . .

Unless you are on a business trip and will need to be in downtown San Jose early/every morning - why stay there?
