Over priced under valued

There are multiple train tracks directly behind the hotel. The room I was given was right above the train tracks. From the time I check in at 8 pm until 11pm at least 10 trains went passed or parked directly outside my window. I contacted the front desk and asked if I could move rooms. I was told someone will call me back soon. 25 minutes later no one called me back so I called the front desk again and was out on hold for another 10 minutes. When someone eventually picked up my call I was told they can’t move me but will offer me a breakfast credit. Over all this hotel is over priced and under valued. I will not stay here again. It’s definitely not the standard I’ve come to expect from the Fairmont brand.

It is a beautiful place to stay, great location for down-town walking and access. There is only paid parking so if you don't want to pay, you'll have to find a location on the street somewhere. We'd definitely stay here again.

The service was exceptional. After reserving my room on a third-party site, I was placed in a room that was too noisy (2d floor next to a train track). This was not intolerable on the weekend, but come Monday, there was constant traffic on the tracks starting at 05:00. When I mentioned this to the staff, they moved me to a room that was as far away from the tracks as possible. I ended up extending my stay. Room service was pretty fancy. The chef makes an amazing mushroom soup.

The hotel itself is beautiful, but unfortunately our room was a huge disappointment. Thankfully, it was only for one night, if we had booked a longer stay, I would have requested a new room immediately. The room needed some serious attention. One lamp didn’t even work, and the shower was broken. After attending a wedding, all I wanted was a shower and a good night’s sleep. Instead, I spent time trying to get the shower working, only to end up with a weak dribble of water. Even worse, I couldn’t fully turn it off, so I was kept awake most of the night by the sound of running and dripping water. Since my husband was asleep, I didn’t want to call down to the front desk at 1:30 am, so I ended up stuffing towels around the bathroom to try to muffle the noise. We had chosen to stay here after the wedding, but I honestly came close to just calling a cab and going home. Overall, a very disappointing experience.
