Trip started off by dropping luggage off since we arrived early. Staff told me that the room would be ready in a few hours and I would receive a text. 8 hours later and still no text. Went in and room was clearly ready after standing in a 30 minute line. Went down a few hours later to request extra blankets, stated that they would deliver while we were out. Came back 3 hours later and no blankets. Tried to call the housekeeper number, no answer. So I walked down stairs to again request more blankets. Overall a mediocre experience considering the amount I spent.

I booked a suite with a pull out sofa and a king sized bed. I was traveling with my son and this room offered a little more space and privacy. The sofa was not a pull out - staff offered to bring a roll away bed - or move us into a room with 2 doubles - both of which were problematic. Also - the hotel tried to charge me for food (which we didn't have) and included a $30 / day (+tax) resort fee to my bill - we didn't use any amenities. Very poor - this is not the Fairmont experience / service I'm used to.

We paid for a king bed and a sofa bed but there was no sofa bed (only king bed). We specifically paid a little more for the sofa bed since one of us snores. Also no coffee pods for Keruig in the room. Hotel itself is nice though
