Fantastic spring break
The staff was very courteous and helpful. We really enjoyed the cocktails and dessert on The Terrace. The milk and cookies at bedtime was a winner. Housekeeping was excellent. Even our laundry was folded up!

Spring Break Getaway
The hotel was great. I probably should have not rented a car. I was surprised at check out that the parking was $42 a day. There was a great French bakery / coffee shop attached to the ground floor of the hotel...that was the most value oriented thing in the hotel...great breakfast pastries and coffees.

NOt a Fairmont
Quality of the hotel was lower than Best Western inn. very expensive in return I got nothing. Elevetor was not working for 24 hr that I was there? come on such a big name hotel and cannot get it fixed? carpet seems dirty floor were not polished in main lobby. I upgraded my room for additional charge - what do I get instead of looking a one street now I was able to see streets. Room was extremly cold during the whole time I was there I had my heat up to 85 but I was still cold as the room had three windows and only one heater with single pane windows. It took them for ever to get my car from the parking even when I phoned ahead of time. They chaged me for a phone made to Valet paring like that was not enough that they charged me 42 to park for less then 24 hrs. I will never go back. Thanks
