Valet service was awesome. They were very helpful being that I am disabled and had a walker very hard to get into the spa because I had a walker, but I know how to work it. At one point, our room was so cold and the maid came and brought us a heater to heat up our room. She was so phenomenal. Also helped us learn how to work the coffee maker because there was no directions in the room as to how to use it. I was a little disappointed because I wanted to upgrade to the gold to where I could have access to the amenities there but my fault because I should’ve booked it earlier.

Beautiful hotel and my husband and I really enjoyed the restaurant and lounge downstairs. However, we were unable to rent movies from our room and weren’t told that was because we decided to use our debit card at check in for damage deposit rather then a credit card. We would have GLADLY used our credit card but the front desk did not tell us there were restrictions if we used our debit. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back but will make sure to use the credit card next time lol.

We paid for Fairmount gold and we were given non-Fairmount gold without our knowledge. And this is not the first time they have done this to us at this hotel. They’ll check you in as Fairmont gold then they send you to the lower floors that are not Fairmont gold. And if you book with Expedia, they’ll always put you on the train track side. Will not stay at this property again after being cheated twice in a row.
