I'm trying to see how much it would cost in total for hotels in advanced with my friends and we were wondering how much Fairmont charges for tax.
Was it 14% room+ 8%tax, etc??

Also for past experiences, was there an option for you to choose that would allow you to pay upfront with cash upon arrival, or can you only use a debit/credit card?

1) City Occupancy Tax 10% per room, per night
 2) Convention Center Facilities District Tax (CCFD) 4% per room, per night
 3) Business District Assessment (HBID) $2.50 per room, per night
 4) California Tourism Assessment 0.065% per room, per night
 5) Property Based Business Improvement District (PBID) $0.50 per room, per night
 
Don't forget to factor in parking which is valet only at Fairmont. As for paying with cash I know people have done so in the past, but I believe the hotel still needs a credit card for the security deposit.

Thank you so much for the response!! I will remember about parking also!

Don't forget that most hotels will charge extra if using a debit card for deposits/incidentals.
your best bet is to call them directly to find out.
Fairmont San Jose (408) 998-1900
(The room rate will be different if you get it in the attendee block, but the taxes are the same)
