Great hotel, great service
nbs9 Nov 5, 2009
Had a nice time and the staff was apologetic, but there was very noisy work being done on the light rail system right outside ... the hotel -- all through the night. Hotel was vintage, which meant tiny bathrooms, aged tubs, etc. And the internet was on the blink throughout our stay. Location was perfect for the convention center -- the only thing better would have been the Marriott, which is connected to the convention center. Fitness center was ok, but there was no pool. Parking was also quite expensive

A great old hotel!
AJ Oct 13, 2009
The Saint Claire is a beautiful old hotel. It has character and class, with none of the feel of a chain hotel. The restaurant ... is amazingly good, and the staff is incredible. A woman from the front desk brought me a carafe of hot water for my tea for free, and made sure that I had everything that I needed. I stayed there because I came to San Jose to have surgery from out of state, and I couldn't have asked for a better place to recover. The hotel was quiet and had a soothing atmosphere. My room was beautiful, complete with a huge old-style bathtub and a lovely ceiling mural. The L'occitane bath products supplied were a wonderful luxury, and the bathrobes were great. The bed was the most comfortable thing I've ever slept on, and the bedding was soft and luxurious. The location was great. It's right across from a pretty park, and the view from our window was very nice. It was in walking distance to a good selection of shops and restaurants. I found a great bakery and a fabulous sushi place right down the street. I honestly don't think that I've had a better stay anywhere else. If I ever come back to San Jose, I will be staying in the Saint Claire again.

I felt grand, but lonely
Lulu Jul 13, 2009
Very fine bedding, and charming little bathroom, functional and clean. Fine TV +DVD + radio player in the room. However, the ... street noise (cable cars) is very audible, and the walls with neighbors rather thin too. Il Fornaio , the restaurant, is on the ground level and was very practical for a single woman traveler like me: chic, decent food, good service. Valet parking is the big drawback of the Sainte Claire, though: it is impossible to park yourself in this busy neighborhood (the Convention Center is across the street) so they got you trapped: 21 dollars overnight for valet, and hardly any space on that corner to park your car to wait for the valet to come and pick it up.

I am from sa jose and i wanted to get away with my girlfreind without going to far or paying to much. This hotel was a great ... location and it was very nice. The lobby is very nice and the rooms are even better. The bathrooms are delicate but nice and the beds are very very comfortable. We had a problem with our dvd player and a guy was sent to fix the isssue and he would not leave until the issue was resolved. i was there only for a night but my experience was great and i plan to go back soon.

Jeremy Jun 14, 2008
The Sainte Claire is an elegantly restored historic hotel with more modern amenities than most new hotels. The staff is ... overwhelmingly friendly and helpful, and the location is great. Stay here to feel welcomed, special, and spoiled. Downstairs, there's a large, elegant lounge worthy of royalty, and a fine restaurant. You have easy access to downtown San Jose's myriad arts, entertainment, and restaurant amenities on foot, or via VTA train. Rooms include featherbeds and three choices of pillows. If that's not enough, they'll bring another pillow from the pillow menu. For all the comforts of home, rooms feature DVD players, refrigerator, a Boston Acoustics clock/radio/CD player, and a cable to connect your iPod or MP3 player. Bathrooms are compact, but elegantly furnished, complete with faux skylight and motion-sensitive lighting. Free wireless internet is provided throughout the hotel, and local community wireless is also available. This is a marvelous hotel.

The Saint Claire is an old hotel that has been thoroughly updated. The rooms and bathroom are small due to the original age, ... but they have been updated to very modern and upscale standards. The hotel is in downtown across from the light rail system that can take you anywhere. There is a great bakery across the street and several upscale restaurants nearby. The Italian restaurant in the hotel is excellent. It is also close to the airport. Although downtown, it was quiet.

Great historic hotel with modern ammenities
Jason May 23, 2008
The St. Claire has been restored to excellent condition. The lobby and meeting areas all showcase the inherent beauty of the ... art deco elements which are harmonized with the modern comforts and facilities (e.g. flat screen tvs). The in suite bathrooms have retained the orginial decorative tile elements with modern tubs and ceiling frescoes with recessed lighting. The Il Fornaio italian restuarant on the ground floor is good as its bakery. There are two light rail stops within a short step of the front entrance. The St. Claire is now my first choice for my business stays in San Jose and I will likely try to arrange company bookings for the major tradeshows we participate in throughout the year at the convention center across the street.
