Stayed here for two nights over Christmas. Nice hotel, but nothing special for a 5star hotel. Clean but not super clean. Water leaks in the basement , trash in the corridor stayed longer than it should have. Most importantly - what’s up about the gym? Showed up one day - it was closed… couldn’t do my workout. Showed up the next day to learn that I should become a member and pay 20 per person just to go to the gym. Not an experience that I would expect from an expensive 5star hotel. Gym should be free, no hassle, and open at all times.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort
okay service was incredible of course, like front desk staff and all that. hotel is of course gorgeous. room itself is big for a standard room, had a nice vanity and a big desk and good sized bathroom. those are the pros lol. cons - the whole hotel needs renovation. the desk chair was falling apart. linens on bed felt kinda meh. towels were nice though. i used the sauna and the light in it was fall off the wall and super rusty. we got room service and they messed up our order - no cheese and mike was pretty explicit about it and there was cheese. also the TV was broken, like it functioned but the bottom 1/4 flickered black the entire time. the coffee shop you get a $10 credit at but the coffee shop itself has a 2.7 on yelp. i think they jack up the price on everything so your $10 credit goes nowhere basically. a plain croissant was $10. i got an orange juice for $8 purely just so we didn’t waste the credit. i got there ~1 hour earlier than mike and the menu said light bites at the bar from 12-3 so i sat at the bar after confirming this with the host stand. then the bartender said “oh the menu is outdated and the front staff was not right” so i left bc i was hungry. no food service in the restaurant from 2-5 at all. restaurant itself is gorgeous though. tonga room which is clearly the highlight and i’ve been before was closed sun - tues which is kinda a bummer but whatever, we went to another bar down the block.

My partner and I checked in the night before our wedding with high hopes of having a memorable stay at the Fairmont. After waiting in a long line to check-in, we received no acknowledgement of this occasion or were not asked if we were celebrating something special, despite our note at booking. There were a stack of dirty plates left outside the room when we checked in and were not picked up until 10pm that night. We also called shortly after arriving in our room to receive an ETA on when our bags would be brought up, and received a very ambiguous and unprofessional response. The shower was also backing up with water. Overall, we are very disappointed in our stay. We have had better stays at 2 and 3 star hotels.

After spending over $500 a night—the lower end for this hotel, there is no coffee in the room. The cafe had a 45 min wait to grab a cup of brew. Service was extremely slow. The public should have selective viewing hours for holiday decor-I could hardly get to the front desk when checking in. And the curtains in our room did not close.
