Valet parking was a joke and unorganized. On departure I struggled to get my bags out the door as Valet stood there and watched me (another quest had to help me). The room had paper thin adjoining doors and we could hear the people next door all night! At best a three star hotel and overpriced. Is this really a Fairmount hotel??
