At pretty much every touchpoint with hotel staff, it was a “ did not meet or exceed expectations.” I do not state this harshly but only to point out that there are, I believe, some service training gaps. Huge difference with service here and Banff Springs, so perhaps some discussions with them and a few pages from their playbook. The Mac is beautiful, but what takes a property from “ good” to “ great” is simply a long standing concept- attention to detail. And that means detail and follow through with every encounter of staff with a guest(s). Even though this was a one night stay many slip ups occurred. If you would like the details I would be more than happy to provide/ chat over the phone ( 78…).

Generally, Team was polite and efficient. Received a welcome note and text, however, (as has been the case regardless of many reminders), I am continued to be addressed in communication as MS., even though I am a man. Seems to be a challenge to get this corrected.

The service is good, but the rooms are tired. Also, the mini bars are never restocked. Prices for what you get is not particularly good value.
The hotel is beautiful and the staff is wonderful.
Absolutely amazing, it’s a treat to get to spend time with such wonderful and caring people that are working at the hotel. I stay at your hotel often and the way you have treated us I could not stay anywhere else. Thank you
The breakfasts and all other services from the hotel restaurant were a real gem and a highlight of our stay. Congratulations to the restaurant staff for how well they dealt with my mild food intolerances. Our family's food and drinks were wholesome, tasty and much appreciated. Check-in and being given the wrong room, despite confirmation, was the downside of our stay.
We love the location, the staff is great, but the hotel is showing it's age.
Simply amazing! This time my son and I only had one night to spend at the Fairmont but they are always our favourite hotels. Your staff was so attentive, Unbelievable, even to my four year old. Annie & Shiv B.
