Clever Thoughts

For a number of reasons I tried the Fairfield SJC rather than the Marriott Courtyard SJC I usually stay at when visiting SJC.

The fixtures in the room were quite new and included a flat panel TV, free internet (wired and possibly wireless), small fridge and microwave. The bed was Fairfield standard, firm supportive and comfortable, but a bit on the bouncy side, thus not a nice as the courtyard/Marriott bed but in no way detrimental to a good night’s sleep (it is a bit springy but not an issue once lying down, though it can be distracting if your partner isn’t sleeping well).

The complimentary breakfast  was one of the best I’ve seen of the class. The class being free, self-serve, hotel breakfasts. The main reason was that the breakfast room was about twice as large as usual and they had to fill the larger space with something.

The treadmills, stationary bike, and stair master in exercise room were all in working order.

Bottom line: if the courtyard or double tree are available for a reasonable price I’d go there but in cases where they are either unavailable or > $250 I wouldn’t hesitate to fall back to the Fairfield.
