It was not my greatest hotel stay. I think some of the pictures used in the listing paint a brighter picture than what is ultimately provided.
The room was clean at a higher level, but the amount of stains in certain areas was a bit much. The lampshades had black spots throughout their fabric, and the tiles had some questionable spots as well.
The room had a fridge. However, no microwave, so saving any type of food items in the fridge is a waste, so plan your meals accordingly.
The bed.... Oh, where do I begin... I was in a King room, and the bed felt as though one side was made of Ironwood, and the other a slightly softer Spruce. Now I'm not a small fella, but I'm not huge/heavy enough to sink into a semi-decent mattress like I did here.
Now that you've heard the bad, there were a couple of good parts about the stay as well. The first, of course, being the staff! Everyone I interacted with was friendly and not afraid to socialize and interact with the guests at all.
The layout of the hotel is decent as well. There are a ton of doors into the hotel, so it's never a chore to get to your room. The access into the restaurant, The Green Mill, is part of the main lobby, so easy enough to get there as well. Also, the property access is simple and easy to get in and out of.
All in all, it wasn't my worst hotel experience, but I will be looking for other establishments next time I visit Fairmont.
