HAD A MUSTY SMELL..OLD BUILDING OTHERWISE GREAT!

“Look forward to my next stay”

A beautifully and respectfully restored hotel with all the modern amenities, responsive staff, and awesome in-room breakfast. The comfy robes are an added bonus!

“Charming European style hotel!”

This was such a lovely room and the hotel employees were extremely kind and helpful. I would love to stay here again. They also have a wonderful Italian restaurant in house. Great downtown setting. The parking system is a bit awkward and the all night valet I thought to be a bit high priced for California, but all in all a lovely hotel. Kathleen

“A beautiful hotel”

This hotel is beautifully maintained as a historic structure in San Jose. The wood paneling, crown mouldings and decorating details provide a rich environment. The room was small, but comfortable. The only problem is the location next to the rapid transit trolley line, which may disrupt some travelers' sleep. I did not mind it.

“Charming historic hotel”

Enjoyed staying at this historic hotel during a conference in San Jose. Window opens for fresh air! Bathrooms were old world beautiful. Wonderful stair to walk as an option to the elevator, get a little exercise. I was very happy with my stay.

“Great Experience”

The Sainte Clare is the best in class in the surrounding SJ downtown neighborhood, but their customer service might be the best I've ever experienced at any hotel. Stayed for 3 nights and loved it. Reasonably priced, great food and service: Great value. For both the price and customer service it can't be beat. Only negative is the Gym is a little small compared to larger hotels, but I think that's to be expected and very minor. Very quiet, but our room was located on the side away from the street.

“Great location, beautiful hotel”

“Loved this hotel!”

I rarely stay in a hotel which I can really recommend. This hotel was an exception! The room was very small but cozy and nice. The beds were very comfortable as were the numerous pillows. It was very clean and I am very picky about cleanliness. The hotel itself is very lovely and the staff was wonderful. We were in town for a convention and every one we knew who stayed at other surrounding hotels wished they had stayed at the St. Claire instead. The walls may be a little thin as we could hear some of what the neighboring rooms were doing but didn't feel it was too much of as issue as the we were tired at the end of the day and the beds were so comfortable we were out quickly. I would highly recommend this hotel!

“Very nice...Older classy hotel”

This is an older hotel that's in great shape. The people were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The Il Forniao (sp?) restaurant downstairs is excellent. I would be happy to stay there any time.

“Vintage & Charming San Jose hotel”

The Sainte Claire is both modern and historic, classy and fun, centrally located and yet quiet enough to get a good night's rest. The staff are amazingly friendly and helpful, and there's a wonderful cafe and Il Fornaio restaurant on the ground level. A perfect alternative to the big chain hotels nearby.
