We just checked in. When we arrived there was a line up of cars spilling into the street. No where to go, no clear directions or anyone from the hotel managing the line up of cars. People honking in the line as if there was somehere we could go. The entry way was blocked by parked cars. When we finally made it to the valet station, we were ignored. We pulled our own bags out of the car and tracked down a valet to hand our keys to. Upon entry no one to greet you or provide any direction. We went up the escalator and had to walk through a bar to reach a desk that is not clealy marked as a check in counter. There was one person in line who took a lot of time but was not checking in. Check in was quick and easy. We arrived to our" deluxe corner" room which was dated and shockingly dirty. If this were a different hotel chain I would not be complaining, but this is a Fairmont. This room has brown and red splatter on walls, floors, ceilings and sink. There are so many stains throughout I can't imagine what has happened in this room. I would not give this room to anyone even if it was the last room available. Disappointed especially for spending over $600 to ensure a higher quality hotel. This does not meet the standard I have come to know from Fairmount.

Great service but needs major updating.

The location of this hotel is great, within walking distance of a lot of things if you are a tourist. We walked to and from the hotel early in the morning and at night and never felt unsafe despite some of the sketchiness we saw in the area (homelessness, smells, dirty streets). The service was fantastic especially the doormen and valet. Unfortunately the check-in process was slow, with a line stretching at least ten deep and only two persons able to check you in. The property itself is vast given its age, but it needs some modern upgrades. Firstly the elevators are slow and not as spacious inside. The escalator from the main entrance to the lobby was also down. Finally in our room (Deluxe King, I believe) it lacks a lot of modern amenities you should expect in a five star hotel including USB ports at the desk, plug ins at the bedside, automatic blinds and curtains, walk-in shower, slippers, long time to get hot water for the tub, to name a few. The hand lotion bottle was also not refilled. I believe everything could be achieved with some Reno’s while also maintaining the charm, look, and aesthetic of this iconic building. Overall I would not go back until the above is addressed to put it on par with other five star properties I have experienced. At the price I paid, you can get far better elsewhere.

The lobby is truly lovely, and the location of the hotel is fabulous. We didn’t spring for the $1600/night room— so maybe we deserved it… but we did pay 450 and I figured we couldn’t go wrong at this property. The beds were positively tiny. We are a family of four and so each of us sleeping with one of our kids who are both under six was OK but these beds are not fulls— they are smaller than that. They seem like XL twins perhaps? The worst part about the room was when you open the door you were positively bowled over by the smell of mildew. It was nauseating. Typically when a smell is a little bit off after a while you get used to it- not the case in this instance. Even after hours in the room, I would wake up in the middle of the night realizing once again how overwhelming the mildew smell was. Do not stay in the cheap rooms if you stay at this hotel. Also, we really stayed at this hotel because of the pool and hot tub and the high reviews it gets. We were underwhelmed to say the least. There was no attendant that I saw the three times we were at the pool. The floors were dirty and sopping wet and the chairs look like each of them have been sat in hundreds of thousands of times. Most of the towels that we used were thread bare. The hot tub was large and a good temperature. My kids had a great time in both the pool and the hot tub. I will not be back and I will not recommend this accommodation.
