Enjoyable experience, now a Fairmont fan
My wife and I stayed at the Fairmont for a weekend in June for our wedding anniversary. Overall it was an enjoyable experience. We were able to book a package that included a $150 food and beverage credit which absolutely came in handy during our stay. The uniqueness of the hotel's elegant lobby area and courtyard were a nice added extra. The only drawback is that some of the furniture in the seating area shows wear and should be replaced. Bartenders and hotel service were very attentive and overtly friendly. We were upgraded to a deluxe room from a standard king for no additional charge upon check-in. The room was one with a courtyard view and balcony which was also nice. The bed in the room was incredible in terms of comfort. We both slept like a baby. The room was not huge but also not tiny- a good size. Bathroom was standard and clean. However, the low water pressure in the shower left much to be desired. We joined the President's Club online before our stay which ensured free access to the wi-fi and fitness center. The fitness center was impressive in the amount of free weights/kettlebells, machines that were available along with the access to a basketball/raqcuetball court. Food was not all that impressive but we ventured outside of the hotel for our meals anyway. Parking is very steep $45/day, so we decided to park across the street at the Westin which was $34/day and saved roughly $20. Would definitely stay here again.
