The Sainte Claire Hotel, San Jose, Ca.


“Approved with a few minor issues.

This is a very old hotel and very nicely decorated. I have a room on the top floor (6th) and it is very nice... My room comes with a queen size bed lots of pillows.. This is a good thing.. not just two huge but 3 medium size.. The room was very clean and taken care of... and the hotel staff is very welcoming and courteous. The lobby has been restored and it is a very nice property in the midst of a very thrown together city..
Only issues to be away of.. and not major. Like several others have mentioned. The bathroom tub is cracked and peeling.. So even though it has a large tub.. I wouldn't recommend taking a bath. . as the rust is obvious.
Other minor issue.. the electrical plugs behind the desk, one is for the phone the other has an extension cord with two lamps and the clock radio plugged in.. Not the coffee pot.. had to pull the desk out, unplug the various items to get coffee working..
Thank Goodness, this is a very clean hotel so I didn't have any surprises when I pulled the desk away from the wall..
So over all would concur with the other reviewers.. it is fairly priced for the city area, parking is 29 a day valet only.. There is not parking readily available in San Jose downtown .. so this is not an added expense but a necessity.
The furniture and design make this a nice place to relax in the midst of a very eclectic city.
Room Tip: Other travelers have mentioned noise.. Between the dumpsters around the city and the noise outside...
