Nice Stuff

We had a fantastic view of my hometown and the room was beautiful. We had a very nice room. The staff was wonderful and very friendly. The only thing I had a problem with was the pool not heated. I work out in the pool and it was chilly! For the price you pay for room here they should at least keep the pool heated.

you are in the heart of downtown and an easy walk to anything you may need. There is a little grocery store a block away that is convenient, too.

Room service terrible

The room and amenity were awesome. However, service was terrible. I am an avid coffee drinker. My room was missing a coffee maker so I requested for one. 1.5 hours later, I fell asleep waiting for it and I still didn't get the maker. I requested it the next day again and they finally got it to me. Completely ridiculous!

1 Bed Short

We booked a double double. When we checked in they had no double doubles, so they said they would bring us a roll away. We finally got the roll away brought to our room around 3:00 am after contacting the front desk many times.

Very happy

Our room was very spacious, and the staff helpful and friendly. Fine dining at The Grill. Centrally located, we were able to walk to all of downtown, and an easy cab ride to airport and HP Pavilion.

TV is lame, and no free wireless or parking

NBA playoffs were on, but tv is hard to navigate. No free premium channels. No guide on screen to see what's on!! No vents in bathroom, and room not that clean. Location was great, staff(valet) were quick and nice. Coffee machine a joke.

Perfect getaway for hubby and me

My husband and I went to Improv to see Edwin San Juan and stayed overnight at the Fairmont. This hotel has the perfect location. Many nearby restaurants that you can walk to. We were able to walk to the Improv as well so that was a treat. Hotel was clean with many friendly staff. The hotel itself also had plenty of restaurants to enjoy from. We had Sunday brunch but that was just okay. Not too many selections and food was not that great for the price. Will definitely return here again.
