Always wonderful at a Fairmont. The staff are superb! The hot tub needs tweaking. It has weak jets and is fairly useless. I just came from the Fairmont YVR and their hot tub is amazing and has real jets. Also the fridge in the room was warm and looked old.

Charging $15 a day for wifi is pretty ridiculous. The omelette in the restaurant was very bland. My wife liked her smoked salmon Benedict though. The staff were very friendly. The $20 charge for a pre-mixed mediocre old fashioned is a bit crazy. The upgraded old fashioned was pretty good I will say. I was a bit disappointed with the paint pealing in the hallways. The staff did go out of their way to recognize our special occasion without being asked, which was very nice and unexpected. I would stay here again. But was disappointed by those few things. The wifi charge seemed to be rather ridiculous.
Being met with a friendly greeting and a 'I will sort out the reservation issue' was the start On attending to hors d'hoeveurs the staff member poured a drink after inquiring my favourite tipple, then offered locally distilled bourbon, gave an authoritative description of the drink and brought same to may table This was ; Like coming home to a friends house or a close relative truly a golden moment in the gold room
I saw online this hotel had a pretty nice reputation (5 stars review) however in my opinion, that was a bit overrated. Areas of improvement: 1) Would've been nice for the receptionist to ask me whether I wanted a room with a good view. I was there for just one night so why not give me a free upgrade with a room having a really nice view that's available for that night, so it leaves me with a good taste in my mouth. I do travel frequently for work so this would've gone a long way for me deciding to stay with you in future travels. 2) There was no fairmont slippers in the room. I thought that was standard across all fairmont so I didn't pack any slippers for my trip. The next day I travelled to Fairmont calgary and stayed there for the night. They provided slippers in the room without having to ask. Feel free to contact me if you want more info: ma…, Ph: 20…
There was an issue when we checked in as the front desk could not find our reservation. Then the we were told that there is a $100/night charge for incidentals but then we were charged $200/night. Also, the amount we had on our confirmation had a lower amount then what the front desk was going to charge us. Later we found out the $30/day meal credit was initially only applied once not twice (we stayed 2 nights). The restaurant had outstanding breakfast and service was amazing. Michelle was our waitress both times we ate and she was incredible!!

Our experience was wonderful from the moment we arrived. Service was excellent, the room was clean and had all necessary amenities.
Great service from the door men to the check-in counter to the restaurant. Great experience. Wish the lounge would have been completed and open, the only reason 9/10.
Staying at the Fairmont for over twenty years. Not anymore! seventh floor check in was fine All staff I encountered (female) were great,except for a man named Philip. Not warm and bullied the lady working the floor when I was having breakfast telling her right in front of me that she didn't work hard. Very unprofessional, immature and petty. Good for her she calmly and professionally stood up to him. This same man asked my daughter what was her room # was when she came. He did that to no one else!! Harvest Room dinner Nov.11th waiter service totally not absent. My soup wasn't even warm,was tepid. Tried to get his attention without success. he was either talking leisurely to people at the waiter station or kitchen staff. finally I had to get up and tell another waiter. During our dinning time he never asked how our meals were,if we needed anything etc. The Harvest Room was not busy at all and to top it off it was my daughter's birthday! Talked with the Maitre d'hotel and he immediately said something to the waiter and kitchen staff. He was great! But the waiter and kitchen staff were just goofing off.
