Good location, Great Service
The Fairmont is downtown within walking distance of the Art Museum. There is a free trolley which runs to uptown, which is very convenient to the excellent restaurants there. Main and Elm Street are in walking distance and also have several good restaurants on Elm and Main Street. The aquarium is close, and it is a bit more of a walk, but entirely pleasant, to the Kennedy Museum. The service is excellent; especially housekeeping and concierge. It would probably have been more fun for us to stay in uptown because of our interests in eating out. Also, the area seems a bit seedy on weekend evenings. There is no self parking and the valet wait can be quite long; it is also rather expensive. The fitness center is adequate but small and not well outfitted.
