Really good Hospitality in Landmark Location
helpful staff comfortable bed valet parking
The front desk staff was helpful and very accommodating. I found the bed quite comfortable. The hotel provided useful amenities . The valet parking service was quick and efficient, which I appreciated a lot.
The elevators seemed slow at times, causing some delays when going to higher floors. More elevators could alleviate wait times. This would improve guest experiences overall. I found this quite inconvenient.

The location is convenient near historical sites and a shopping mall. Many restaurants are close by within a short walk. Staff members were friendly and helpful .
The washroom was renovated but small. There was no Chromecast enabled in the room which felt dated. The restaurant visit was disappointing during breakfast.

Charming Hotel with Excellent Service
clean room tasteful décor excellent service
I stayed in a Fairmont Double Room. The room was very clean with tasteful décor. Bath products had a lovely rose scent, a detail I noted. Staff promptly shipped my computer charging cables back home after I mistakenly left them behind, showing great customer service.
The only parking option was valet, a notable expense I hadn't planned for.

The bed had a thin blanket it was hardly enough to keep warm. The bathtub drain did not seal properly. I could not take a proper bath. The room smelled like cleaning chemicals.
