9.2/10 Wonderful! (266 reviews)

The hotel rest room on the main lobby was not clean. Paper on the floor, dirty toilets and sinks. Zoe's Bar had very slow service. It took ten minutes to get seated in the lounge. Another ten minutes for a server to get our order. And a full half an hour to get our cocktails and appetizers. The hotel room in general needs an update. The fixtures in the bathroom are coming away from the wall and sink. The shower has very poor temperature controls. The windows are filthy. The blinds are either up or down. There are no privacy shears which could give added protection from the building across the street. Overall, I felt that this hotel is not up to the standard of other Fairmonts that I have visited in Banff and Toronto,

9.4/10 Exceptional! (512 reviews)

Room was wonderfully large, quiet and a nicely designed space and building near the park. Would recommend to anyone staying long or short term. Good eats close by but also a lovely kitchen is included in the studio room. Only draw backs were: there was no cable so couldn't watch sports especially World Series; we were on the third level and had too take the outdoor stairs which was a bit tricky for my partner -especially in the dark; would have liked a pizza or baking tray for the oven. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back in the future!
