There is a certain ‘ah’ effect that you get when visiting a 5 star resort. It is what I was expecting after our grueling drive through the new years eve storm. The prospect of the long dangerous drive was over ridden by the prospect of getting the ‘ah’ effect upon arrival at the Sonoma mission inn. Unfortunately our arrival was met with more of a 2-star greeting. Room not ready, no offer of champagne although others checking in did receive it. Told to wait and we’d be called on my cell when ready. That ever happened, as I finally just went to the desk again and was told then that the room was ready. Simply handed the keys with no direction as to where our room was located. No question of whether we needed help with luggage. When I asked where the room was, she simply handed me a map and pointed to an exit door “that way”. After asking several employees along the way,we finally found our building. We had not been told that the room was on the second floor with no elevator. It took us two trips for the two of us to get our luggage up to the second floor. Pool not heated, I had called the concierge two days earlier to check on the temp of the water. We had a large family group and the pool for the kids was part of the planning. No spa availability, another thing we were all looking forward to. Honestly, we could have stayed down the street at the El Pueblo and had a far greater experience. The one beacon of good service came from your restaurant and their staff. Outstanding on all levels.
Was gifted a night at the Fairmont MacDonald as part of a wedding present. My wife and I had a wonderful stay. We would definitely stay again after this first experience.

Overall it is always great!
Spent NY Eve and New Year's Day at the SMI Fairmont. Enjoyed the NYE dinner and the spa amenities (plus two treatments) on NY day. We never left the hotel. Food, treatments dancing were all great.
HAD AN INITIAL PROBLEM WITH BILLING, DISCOUNTS WERE NOT GIVEN OVER THE PHONE CORRECTLY. AT THE HOTEL THEY ADJUSTED. FIRST ROOM HAD TILE FLOORS (FIRST FLOOR). WE MOVED UP TO HAVE CARPETS. COULD NOT GET RESERVATIONS FOR NEW YEARS EVE DINNER AT 8:00 PM. INSTEAD MADE UP FOR IT BY EATING AT THE BAR, ARRIVED EARLY, STAYED LATE. LOVE THE HOT TUB IN THE ROOM, AND THE CONVENIENCE TO DOWNTOWN. ALL SERVICE PEOPLE WERE JUST FABULOUS.
The entire get away was terrific. Service and food above and beyond expectations.
I was celebrating my 50th birthday with longtime friends. While the entire experience was amazing, one staff member stands out who went above and beyond to make sure my guest and I felt taken care of. I'm still smiling with satisfaction!! From the moment I met Adrienne Mayorquin (F&B Coordinator), I knew I was paired with the right person to execute my vision for my 50th birthday celebration. She not only delivered on what we discussed; she anticipated delightful extras that I didn't even know I wanted. I was overwhelmed with the level of care she and her staff showed me. Every detail from my beautifully decorated suite to the extra heaters in our spa cabana to the personalized menu for 10 the night of my dinner, was executed to pure perfection. She even stopped by to say Hi! and took pics with us. My friends raved about her level of service which made me smile more because when they're happy, I'm happy. If every resort had an Adrienne, they would receive a 10 out of 10 rating too. Her professionalism and awesome energy are unmatched. She IS the best which is why I coined this hashtag for her: #noonedoesitbetterthanadrienne Thank you for the amazing memories, Fairmont Mission Inn...we will be back!
We went and stated your facility to celebrate my niece. She is graduating and got all A’s. You made it quite special! The bottle of champagne in the room was very exciting for her because she has never been to a spa and spend the night before. The staff was amazing! So friendly! The restaurant Sante has amazing food!

My company's Christmas Party was held at your facility. There was a special offer on rooms for those with the company desiring to stay the evening. We upgraded to a spa room with fireplace. The bed, two person spa, fireplace, coffee & tea available were comfortable and relaxing. Enjoyed the oversized shower as well. The wand, from the main shower head needed tightening, as it was leaking. The diverter button was not functioning well. Reported both to the front desk on our checking out. We also noted other rooms, similar to ours, had cushions on the chaise lounges on the patio. Ours did not.
