Disappointing stay
Overall, we were disappointed with our stay. The check in was very easy, since we took advantage of the early pre-check-in prior to arriving at the hotel. We pulled up to the front of the hotel and received a pleasant welcome from the door attendant. When we arrived in our room, #107, we were surprised to see such a small closet, one in which we could not fully hang long dresses or trousers, nor place in it more than two or three pairs of shoes. For a four-day reservation, the closet was completely inadequate. However, most disappointing was the tiny bathroom. Fortunately, we are relatively small, but a large guest would find sitting on the toilet extremely uncomfortable. Why? Because the toilet is right up against the sink on one side and the wall on the other side. Additionally, room #107’s bathroom has absolutely no shelving or counter space to put toiletries, toothbrushes, toothpaste, make-up, medication or any other items typically placed in a hotel bathroom. Consequently, these items were placed in our room and brought to the bathroom as needed. The final issue with the bathroom was the poor lighting, making it difficult to put on make-up. The one time we used the restaurant was for breakfast. It was relatively empty, nonetheless, we had to wait for more than five minutes to be seated by the hostess even though there were loads of empty tables. When finally seated, we enjoyed the food, which was attractively priced. All in all, at the room rate of $439 per night and parking rate of $65 per day, we would not recommend the Fairmont Copley Plaza to anyone visiting Boston.
